Trump news on Youtube Feb 17 2019

Our top story this evening.

The second North Korea-U.S. summit is just around the corner,… and U.S. President Donald

Trump expressed high hopes of a fruitful discussion with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and hailed

Pyeongyang's economic potential.

Our Won Jung-hwan starts us off.

Optimism is growing ahead of the upcoming North Korea-U.S. summit in Vietnam,... scheduled

to take place at the end of this month.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he is hopeful the next summit will be QUOTE

"very much equally as successful" as the first summit in Singapore last June.

"I hope we have the same good luck as we had in the first summit.

A lot was done in the first summit."

These latest remarks come after Trump praised North Korea for suspending its ballistic missile

and nuclear tests,... and returning the remains of fallen American soldiers from the Korean

War.

The two sides had seemingly reached an impasse... amid U.S. demands for more concrete steps

toward denuclearization and North Korean calls for corresponding measures.

However,... Trump said he is in no rush to denuclearize North Korea,… and simply wants

the regime to refrain from testing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to maintain

good will.

"Now where are we now?

No missiles, no rockets, no nuclear testing, we've learned a lot.

But much more importantly than all of it, much more important, much much more important

than that is we have a great relationship.

I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un."

Trump took a brief swipe at North Korea, saying the Pyeongyang regime had taken advantage

of the U.S. in the past... by taking billions of dollars worth of aid in exchange for promises

of denuclearization.

While emphasizing that it won't happen again... Trump hailed North Korea's economic potential,

dangling the prospect of growth and prosperity... should the regime continue on its path of

peace.

In regards to sanctions,... Trump says they remain firmly in place...

although his cabinet has recently hinted at a more flexible approach... given that North

Korea meets the right conditions.

'SNL': Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump Mock's Bizarre Press Conference [Hot] - Duration: 3:44.

 Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live over the weekend to reprise his celebrated Donald Trump impression to savagely mock the president's recent state of emergency press conference in which he seemed to contradict himself constantly and really did all the work for the SNL writers

 "We need wall. We have a tremendous amount of drugs coming in through the southern border, or the 'brown line' as many people have asked me not to call it," Baldwin's Trump explained as he addressed the press in front of a fake White House

  "That's why we need wall! Wall works. Wall makes safe," he continued, in his barely comprehensible signature style

"You don't need to be smart to understand that. In fact, it's even easier to understand if you're not that smart

" Trump went on to detail the string of events that are inevitably about to occur in reaction to his press conference, and have already happened time and again since he took office

 "You all see why I had to fake this national emergency, right? I have to because I want to," he said

"So I'm gonna sign this papers for emergency, then I'll immediately be sued, and then the ruling will not go in my favor, and it will go to the supreme court, and then I'll call my buddy Kavanaugh, and I'll say, 'It's time repay the Donny,' and he'll say, 'New phone

Who dis?' And then the Mueller report will be released, crumbling my house of cards, and then I'll just plead insanity, and then just do a few months in the puzzle factory, and my personal hell of playing president will finally be over

" Trump then went onto reluctantly take questions from reporters in the press pool, whom he mostly just berated, ignored, and belligerently threatened, per usual

 He also reflected on how much harder being the commander-in-chief has been than he could have known, and said that when Barack Obama explained the job to him on his first day in officer, he didn't believe it

 "Had I known then what I know now, I would have told Putin to just give the job to Hillary," Trump said, dismayed

 Finally, he wrapped up the press conference with some simple fear mongering. "In conclusion, this is a total emergency, a five-alarm blaze, so I'm off to Mar-A-Lago, so I can play some golf, and live from New York it's Saturday night!" SNL airs Saturdays at 11:30 p

REM publisher asks Twitter to remove video tweeted by Trump over song use - Duration: 3:07.

REM publisher asks Twitter to remove video tweeted by Trump over song use

A satirical video using music from rock band R.E.M., which was shared by the Twitter account of President , has been removed from the social media site after the publisher of the bands songs complained.

A lawyer for Universal Music Publishing Group had reached out to Twitter on Friday asking that the video, which was first posted by another user, be taken down from the platform, according to a source familiar with the situation, who asked to remain anonymous.

The clip, which runs more than two minutes in length, plays audio from R.E.M.s early 90s hit single "Everybody Hurts" over excerpts from Trumps Feb. 5 State of the Union address.

But, as of the early hours Saturday ET, Twitter users could not play the video posted by Trump, and many saw a message that read, "This video has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder."

The creator of the video that the president tweeted Friday, self proclaimed Trump supporter @CarpeDonktum, accused Twitter of censorship after the clip became unplayable on the platform.

The clip, clearly meant to mock a selection of lawmakers in Congress, cuts lines from Trumps speech together with reaction shots of stern looking politicians whom Trump has criticized in the past. They include Sen. Bernie Sanders, I Vt., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D N.Y., and Sen. Mitt Romney, R Utah.

Trumps tweet with the video clip had been pinned to the top of his accounts page by Friday afternoon. But it appeared to have been un pinned by Saturday.

The White House did not immediately respond to CNBCs questions about the presidents tweet. A spokesman for Twitter declined to comment.

Trump has drawn criticism for using copyrighted content before: The Rolling Stones "You Cant Always Get What You Want" was often used at the end of Trump campaign rallies and has been used at Trump events since he became president. The band urged Trump to stop using the song, .

In November, Trump tweeted an image of himself featuring the text overlay "Sanctions are coming," which . HBO said at the time that they "would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes," but the presidents tweet was not taken down.

R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills took notice of the use of his bands song in the video that Trump tweeted Friday.

"Measures have been taken to stop it," Mills tweeted, adding that Twitter CEO needs "to get on this."

Mills said that the president had retweeted the video from Twitter account @CarpeDonktum, who is credited in the video. That account defended using potentially copyrighted material in its own content.

Mills, for his part, celebrated the removal of the video with a tweet calling back to .

R.E.M. reached a publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group in .

Guerra comercial: Donald Trump calificó las reuniones de la delegación estadounidense en China como - Duration: 3:58.

Donald Trump. (Reuters) El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, se reunió este sábado con el equipo de negociadores que viajó esta semana a Beijing para una nueva ronda de negociaciones con China

"Los negociadores comerciales acaban de regresar de China donde las reuniones sobre comercio fueron muy productivas", informó en su cuenta de Twitter el gobernante, que decidió trasladarse este fin de semana a su residencia privada de Palm Beach (Florida), Mar-a-Lago

Según indicó, los funcionarios estaban reunidos con él "dando los detalles". "Mientras tanto, China está pagando miles de millones de dólares a Estados Unidos en forma de aranceles comerciales", agregó

La delegación estadounidense, encabezada por el secretario del Tesoro, Steven Mnuchin, y el representante de Comercio Exterior, Robert Lighthizer, viajó a Beijing para una ronda de conversaciones, tras la que fueron recibidos por el presidente chino, Xi Jinping

Ambos equipos volverán a reunirse la próxima semana en Washington. Trade negotiators have just returned from China where the meetings on Trade were very productive

Now at meetings with me at Mar-a-Lago giving the details. In the meantime, Billions of Dollars are being paid to the United States by China in the form of Trade Tariffs!  — Donald J

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019 Este viernes, Trump aseguró que las conversaciones con China van "extremadamente bien", aunque remarcó que la clave es si se alcanza un acuerdo comercial

"Van extremadamente bien (…) Estamos mucho más cerca de lo que nunca hemos estado en este país para alcanzar un verdadero acuerdo comercial" con China, indicó Trump en una comparecencia en la Casa Blanca

Trump ha marcado el principio de marzo como fecha límite para un acuerdo con China, y ha advertido de que, de no producirse, elevaría los aranceles impuestos a productos chinos valorados en 200

000 millones de dólares del 10 % al 25 %. El presidente remarcó que sería un "honor" retirar estos aranceles si finalmente se alcanza un pacto con Beijing

Esta reunión fue la tercera cara a cara entre representantes de ambos países desde que Xi y Trump acordaran el pasado 1 de diciembre una tregua de 90 días, lo que significa que el plazo para cerrar un pacto comercial definitivo expira el próximo 1 de marzo

El mandatario accedió en diciembre a suspender de forma provisional la subida de los aranceles estadounidenses a estos productos chinos, pero advirtió de que seguiría adelante con su plan si no se cerraba el acuerdo en el plazo estipulado

No obstante, el martes abrió la puerta a retrasar esta medida si los progresos registrados son sustanciales

China ha adoptado varias medidas de buena voluntad para cerrar un acuerdo, como la bajada de aranceles a los vehículos importados de EEUU, la reanudación de la compra de soja de este país o la presentación de un proyecto de ley para prohibir la transferencia forzada de tecnología

TRUMP DROPS HAMMER ON CALIFORNIA – GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES 'END OF THE LINE - Duration: 5:11.

TRUMP DROPS HAMMER ON CALIFORNIA – GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES 'END OF THE LINE

Trump refused to help, so California's new governor is canceling the big liberal dream.

Liberals in California were just hit with a monster budget shortfall.

After winning office, Governor Newsom proposed an insane $144.2-billion spending plan to

fund his ridiculous left-wing schemes.

But last month, the state was $2.602 billion short of the $9.233-billion budget projection.

Why?

Because people are fleeing California over its high tax rates.

The leftist government has run California into the ground, and now they're having

to admit defeat on one of their most prized liberal dreams to get rid of the cars that

are apparently "destroying our planet" – the high-speed rail.

President Trump would not allow the federal government to fund the exorbitant project.

From Cal Matters: One of those hurdles comes from the Trump

administration itself, which decided last February to hold off on approving a $647 million

grant that would have helped electrify a stretch of track slated for future high-speed train

traffic.

And now the final nail is in the coffin.

From Fox News: California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on

Tuesday he is pulling the plug on the state's massive high-speed rail project from Los Angeles

to San Francisco that was more than a decade behind schedule and billions in the red.

"Let's be real," Newsom said in his first State of the State address.

"The current project, as planned, would cost too much and respectfully take too long.

There's been too little oversight and not enough transparency."

It's refreshing Newsom admitted that the bullet train was nothing more than yet another

liberal scam.

The train has already cost California taxpayers billions, and has been under construction

since 2008.

And now neither the politicians who advocated for it nor the people who voted for it have

anything to show for their efforts.

Higher land acquisition costs, the need for safety barriers, and increasing demands from

stakeholders have added billions to the project and pushed the completion date to 2033.

At this point, cutting and running is really the only option the Democrats have left.

It's also what they're best at.

For all the Left's talk about using the government to improve society, this bullet

train has only enriched a select few and left many others destitute, just like all Democrat

plans do.

Republican and San Diego Councilman Mark Kersey stated last year that all the billions wasted

on this train, "could have been invested in our current infrastructure needs, such

as water storage, flood control, highways and bridges."

But California is like the millennial of states.

They have many grand ideas, but no ability to implement them.

ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE WHEN DONALD TRUMP DECLARED THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY - Duration: 6:28.

ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE WHEN DONALD TRUMP DECLARED THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY

SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI WERE BOASTING.

THE DEMOCRATS WERE TOASTING THE REALITY THEY TRUSTED THEY HAD BLOCKED DONALD TRUMP FROM

BUILDING HIS OUTSKIRT DIVIDER.

IN ANY CASE, AT THAT POINT POOP HIT THE FAN IN WASHINGTON WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP PRONOUNCED

THIS HIGHLY SENSITIVE SITUATION.

RINO REPUBLICANS JOINED DEMOCRATS AND CONSENTED TO A FRINGE SECURITY BARGAIN THAT GAVE JUST

1.375 BILLION DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIZING FOR 55 MILES OF OUTSKIRT FENCING.

BE THAT AS IT MAY, IF THE DEMOCRATS – AND RINO REPUBLICANS – THOUGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP

WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE ROUT, THEY WERE DEAD OFF-BASE.

PRESS SECRETARY SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS DISCHARGED AN ANNOUNCEMENT REPORTING THE PRESIDENT WOULD

SIGN THE SPENDING BILL AND PROCLAIM A NATIONAL HIGHLY SENSITIVE SITUATION TO ACCESS MILITARY

DEVELOPMENT ASSETS TO CONSTRUCT THE DIVIDER.

"PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL SIGN THE ADMINISTRATION SUBSIDIZING BILL, AND AS HE HAS EXPRESSED

PREVIOUSLY, HE WILL LIKEWISE MAKE OTHER OFFICIAL MOVE – INCLUDING A NATIONAL CRISIS – TO

GUARANTEE WE STOP THE NATIONAL SECURITY AND PHILANTHROPIC EMERGENCY AT THE FRINGE," HUCKABEE

SANDERS PROCLAMATION STARTED.

THE PRESS SECRETARY WRAPPED UP BY EXPRESSING, "THE PRESIDENT IS BY AND BY CONVEYING ON HIS

GUARANTEE TO MANUFACTURE THE DIVIDER, ENSURE THE OUTSKIRT, AND SECURE OUR INCREDIBLE NATION."

TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS IN CONGRESS CHEERED THE MOVE.

HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIRMAN MARK MEADOWS TWEETED, "DEMOCRATS' REFUSAL TO ARRANGE HAS

RENDERED CONGRESS AWKWARD AT CARRYING OUT ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO SECURE AMERICANS.

NOW POTUS IS COMPLETELY DIRECTLY TO UTILIZE PROTECTED OFFICIAL ACTIVITY SPECIALIST TO

MANUFACTURE THE DIVIDER AND SECURE OUR OUTSKIRT.

THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS.

I COMPLETELY BOLSTER HIM."

ALABAMA TRADITIONALIST CONGRESSMAN MO BROOKS TALKED ON THE HOUSE FLOOR FOR THE PRESIDENT

UTILIZING THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY ACT TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FRINGE DIVIDER.

CREEKS ROARED, "AMERICA'S MILITARY SECURES THE FRINGES OF, AND LIVES IN, SOUTH KOREA,

IRAQ, SYRIA, AFGHANISTAN, EUROPE, AND NUMEROUS DIFFERENT NATIONS.

AMERICA, AND AMERICANS, MERIT NO LESS SECURITY!"

FOUNDATION REPUBLICANS – AND MANY PHONY NEWS JOURNALISTS – WRUNG THEIR HANDS ABOUT

TRUMP'S "STANDARD BREAKING CHOICE."

HOWEVER, TRUMP DID NOT DISREGARD ANY INSTITUTIONAL SHIELDS OR BREAK NEW GROUND.

THE SUPERVISOR OF THE FEDERALIST, SEAN DAVIS, CALLED ATTENTION TO THAT OVER THE MOST RECENT

18 YEARS, PRESIDENTS HAVE UTILIZED NATIONAL CRISIS STATEMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ALLOTMENTS.

"THE MEASURE OF GASLIGHTING FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PROFESSING TO RESTRICT OUTSKIRT SECURITY

ON PROCEDURE WHEN THEY REALLY CONTRADICT FRINGE SECURITY ON STANDARD (YET WOULD PREFER NOT

TO LET IT OUT) IS AN INCREDIBLE SIGHT.

SINCE 2001, POTUS HAS UTILIZED CRISIS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR ALLOTMENTS *18 TIMES.*" DAVIS TWEETED.

A FEW PRESERVATIONISTS OBJECTED TO TRUMP'S TURN.

THEY CONTENDED A FUTURE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WOULD UTILIZE A SIMILAR POINT OF REFERENCE

TO SANCTION WEAPON CONTROL OR THE "GREEN NEW DEAL."

HOWEVER, TRUMP SUPPORTERS CONTEND BACK THAT IT'S PROFOUNDLY DUBIOUS DEMOCRATS WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE

BEING HINDERED BY CONGRESS AND WOULD HAVE UTILIZED EACH MEAN AVAILABLE TO THEM TO SANCTION

THEIR PLAN REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PRESIDENT TRUMP CHOSE NOT TO PRONOUNCE A NATIONAL CRISIS.

DO YOU BOLSTER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ANNOUNCING A NATIONAL HIGHLY SENSITIVE SITUATION TO MANUFACTURE

A FRINGE DIVIDER?

TELL US YOUR CONSIDERATIONS IN THE REMARK SEGMENT.

2020 DEMOCRATS INSIST THEY ADORE ONE ANOTHER

AS MANY AS NINE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WILL SOON BE JOSTLING FOR THE RIGHT TO TAKE ON PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP — A PRIMARY ELECTION THAT'S EXPECTED TO BE NASTY, BRUTISH AND LONG.

BUT IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN, IT'S BEEN ALL SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS INSIDE THE

SENATE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

THE FLOCK OF PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS HAVE NOT SPARRED AT CAUCUS LUNCHES, ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE

SENATE DEMOCRATS, OR ATTACKED ONE ANOTHER IN THE PRESS.

TO THE CONTRARY, THEY'VE PORTRAYED ONE ANOTHER AS LONG-TIME FRIENDS ALL WORKING TOWARD THE

COMMON PURPOSE OF DEFEATING TRUMP.

COUNTDOWN TO 2020

THE RACE FOR 2020 STARTS NOW.

STAY IN THE KNOW.

FOLLOW OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION COVERAGE.

"LOOK AT WHO'S RUNNING.

I DON'T SEE ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE BEEN NASTY IN THE PAST," SAID SEN.

CORY BOOKER (D-N.Y.), WHO JUMPED INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE EARLIER THIS MONTH AND IS

RUNNING ON A MESSAGE CALLING FOR MUTUAL KINDNESS AND RESPECT.

BOOKER HAD JUST PRAISED SEN.

AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-MINN.)

FOR HER PRESIDENTIAL LAUNCH IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION.

HE ALSO RECENTLY EXCHANGED PLAYFUL TWEETS WITH SEN.

SHERROD BROWN (D-OHIO), WHO'S MAKING MOVES TOWARD A WHITE HOUSE RUN.

IT'S ANYONE'S GUESS WHETHER THE CHILL VIBE WILL LAST ONCE THE PRIMARY IS FULLY JOINED

AND THE COMPETITION FOR SUPPORT INTENSIFIES.

VOWS TO RUN POSITIVE ATTACK-FREE CAMPAIGNS OFTEN FALL BY THE WAYSIDE ONCE THE STAKES

GET REAL.

BUT IF THEY KEEP IT UP, IT WOULD DEFY EXPECTATIONS OF AN 18-MONTH SPECTACLE OF WORKPLACE AWKWARDNESS

AND HOSTILITY — AND OFFER A GLARING CONTRAST TO THE REPUBLICAN SLUGFEST IN 2016 BETWEEN

FOUR GOP SENATORS WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT.

"WE'RE NICER PEOPLE.

I MEAN LOOK WHO THEY PRODUCED," BROWN — ONE OF A DOZEN SENATORS INTERVIEWED FOR THIS STORY,

INCLUDING FOUR ANNOUNCED 2020 CANDIDATES — SAID OF REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP.

"OF COURSE IT WILL STAY NICE, WHAT KIND OF ANSWER DO

Trump's Tax Cuts Are REALLY Screwing Over American Workers - Duration: 6:08.

Well, more and more people continue to file their tax returns, most of them working class

folks hoping to get that refund that they get every year and so far more than 16 million

Americans have already filed and completed their taxes.

I'm very envious of those people because I haven't even started.

I'm very terrified to do it.

And here's why.

Of those 16 plus million people who have filed their tax returns already, nearly 10 percent

of them said that their refund has gone down even though their income did not go up in

2018 to put it another way, almost 10 percent.

We're at about eight and a half percent actually.

Uh, their income didn't go up, their expenses didn't change.

Basically 2018 was a carbon copy of 2017 and yet they owe more money or they get less money

back then they did in 2018.

And I can't even say they owe more money because all that eight and a half percent say is that

their refund amount went down even though everything else stayed constant in their income.

Another 24 point three percent aren't getting a refund at all.

And in fact found out they owe money this year.

So when you add those two together, we're at about 35 percent, one third of working

class people here in the United States who have already filed their taxes that are either

getting less money or they owe money.

Whereas in the past they would have gotten money back and this is 100 percent the result

and the design of the Republican tax cut that was passed at the end of 2017.

You see middle class people working class people, even the underclass of people here

in the United States, they took away what we can deduct from our taxes.

They took away a lot of the benefits that we could use to help reduce the amount we

would owe or to increase the amount we would get back.

And I'm not talking about massive increases going from like a $2,000 refund to a $4,000

refund.

Know what I'm talking about is maybe going from a $2,000 refund to a $2,300 refund.

Because believe it or not, for a lot of us here in this country, that extra $300 would

make a world of difference.

That $300 might be a medical bill that's been sitting on your dresser for nine months.

And I say that because I know that because I got one, it's been sitting there collecting

dust because I can't touch it yet, but at the same time we're getting screwed and we're

owing more or receiving less because they took away our benefits.

They took away teacher's ability to write off supplies that they buy for their own classroom

out of their own pocket.

We can't write those off anymore, but you know what can be written off, uh, the cost

of a private jet.

So if you bought a private jet, you can actually write off almost, depending on how much the

jet cost up to 100 percent of the cost.

I have a private jet, but teachers can't write off buying a new globe for their classroom.

But you know, somebody like Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or Sheldon Adelson,

they can write off their new private jet.

If they bought one last year, they can because that's how the tax system in the United States

works and you wonder why so many people start to hate this system, why they love the idea

of socialism, because what we've got going on right now isn't working.

It's not.

It's working for the top one percent.

Bernie Sanders has said that a lot recently and he's right.

If you're in the top one percent than hell.

Yeah.

Things have never been better.

I mean, getting to write off the cost of a multimillion dollar private jet, it doesn't

get any more disgusting than that.

The 99 percent, we're getting screwed.

We're getting screwed in every possible opportunity.

We're not getting the tax cut.

Not at all, not even a little bit in the American public is waking up to that.

They understand that and millions upon millions more are going to understand that when they

file their taxes in the next coming weeks, but the wealthy elite aren't going to have

to deal with that.

They're going to be more concerned about, oh, did I?

Did I remember to write this thing off?

Oh, do I get to pay $0 like Netflix did in taxes last year?

We're the ones getting screwed.

We're the ones making up for the lost tax revenue that is being used for this massive

one percent tax cut.

Everybody.

The most important thing you can do right now is to not forget that because if you forget

about that or if you let it go, or if you say, well, you know what?

That's not that big of a deal.

Then the Republicans have already won 20 slash 20.

But if you keep that with you, and I mean that quite literally, I want you to take a

copy of your 2019 and eventually your 20 slash 20 taxes with you.

When you go to vote in the 2020 election and before you start filling out that ballot,

I want you to pull those taxes out of your pocket, the letter from the irs showing that

you got less back or that you owe more than usual.

And I want you to read that and I want you to remember what party did that to you.

And then I want you to cast your vote in 20 slash 20.

If we forget how horrible this is, if we lose hold of the anger that we have now about this,

then again, the Republicans have already won.

Know what I'm talking about is maybe going from a $2,000 refund to a $2,300 refund.

Because believe it or not, for a lot of us here in this country, that extra $300 would

make a world of difference.

That $300 might be a medical bill that's been sitting on your dresser for nine months.

And I say that because I know that because I got one, it's been sitting there collecting

dust because I can't touch it yet, but at the same time we're getting screwed and we're

owing more or receiving less because they took away our benefits.

They took away teacher's ability to write off supplies that they buy for their own classroom

out of their own pocket.

We can't write those off anymore, but you know what can be written off, uh, the cost

of a private jet.

So if you bought a private jet, you can actually write off almost, depending on how much the

jet cost up to 100 percent of the cost.

I have a private jet, but teachers can't write off buying a new globe for their classroom.

But you know, somebody like Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or Sheldon Adelson,

they can write off their new private jet.

If they bought one last year, they can because that's how the tax system in the United States

works and you wonder why so many people start to hate this system, why they love the idea

of socialism, because what we've got going on right now isn't working.

It's not.

It's working for the top one percent.

Bernie Sanders has said that a lot recently and he's right.

If you're in the top one percent than hell.

Yeah.

Things have never been better.

I mean, getting to write off the cost of a multimillion dollar private jet, it doesn't

get any more disgusting than that.

The 99 percent, we're getting screwed.

We're getting screwed in every possible opportunity.

We're not getting the tax cut.

Not at all, not even a little bit in the American public is waking up to that.

They understand that and millions upon millions more are going to understand that when they

file their taxes in the next coming weeks, but the wealthy elite aren't going to have

to deal with that.

They're going to be more concerned about, oh, did I?

Did I remember to write this thing off?

Oh, do I get to pay $0 like Netflix did in taxes last year?

We're the ones getting screwed.

We're the ones making up for the lost tax revenue that is being used for this massive

one percent tax cut.

Everybody.

The most important thing you can do right now is to not forget that because if you forget

about that or if you let it go, or if you say, well, you know what?

That's not that big of a deal.

Then the Republicans have already won 20 slash 20.

But if you keep that with you, and I mean that quite literally, I want you to take a

copy of your 2019 and eventually your 20 slash 20 taxes with you.

When you go to vote in the 2020 election and before you start filling out that ballot,

I want you to pull those taxes out of your pocket, the letter from the irs showing that

you got less back or that you owe more than usual.

And I want you to read that and I want you to remember what party did that to you.

And then I want you to cast your vote in 20 slash 20.

If we forget how horrible this is, if we lose hold of the anger that we have now about this,

then again, the Republicans have already won.

Trump Has Almost Completely Stopped Prosecuting Environmental Criminals - Duration: 5:11.

About the only thing the trump administration has been successful with, other than cutting

taxes for the already wealthy is deregulating this entire country that's been their whole

platform since day one, deregulate, undo all of the good things Obama had done and let

corporations just have their run of the country doing whatever they want, dumping whatever

they want into our water, onto our soil, into the air, wherever it is, just dump away. We're

going to deregulate you and the few regulations we have in place. Don't worry about it because

we're not even going to enforce those. According to a new report by the Associated Press in

forcement efforts at the environmental protection agency last year fell by more than half, and

that was after most of them had already fallen significantly in trump's first year in office,

but the second year in office 2018, they fell even more. And here's what's important to

remember. This is not because polluters cleaned up their

acts. It's not because they decided they were going to be good corporate citizens. From

now on. It's just because the EPA decided to do what they called take a new tact and

just work with these companies instead of set of finding them or enforcing rules are

going to work with them, you know, educate them as what they said on what they should

be doing and then just never bothered, bothered to follow up and see if they're actually doing

it. Is the second part that they didn't say out loud. Here's some stats. Let me read this

here. A declines include civil investigations carried out by the agency, the EPA, which

fell to just 22 last year down from 40 in 2017. Criminal fines and restitution is also

tumbled. Uh, we had 207 million in 2016. Three billion billion with a b in 2017.

But that's only because two point 8 billion of that was from Volkswagen settlement for

their emission scandal, which had been in the works for years before trump came into

office. So that one doesn't even count. And then last year, after averaging minus Volkswagen,

about 200 million per year, last year, $86,000,000, the federal government took an $86,000,000

from corporate polluters. That is the sum total of all the fines last year from pipeline

spills, from oil by rail disasters, from coal ash spills, from chemical companies dumping

their toxins and giving tens of thousands of people cancer. Eighty $6,000,000 is what

the federal government fined them. Toll Toll. This is not the way to sustain a country.

These chemicals that we're getting exposed to, you know, whether it's cold slash fracking

chemicals, you know, a Pfo plays in our water. One a 110 million people a third of this country

drinking these chemicals that will give you cancer. We're on the fast track to killing

roughly one third of the United States population. And the trump administration doesn't care.

The EPA has stopped enforcing the rules right now, especially with all the talk of the green

new deal. This should be a bigger story. This should be the biggest story in the country

today because it doesn't matter. I mean, yeah, corporate toxins do effect low income Americans

more than they affect high income Americans, but they still do affect high income Americans

just not as much, but it does affect every one of us. Eventually. This is something all

of us are going to have to deal with and live with because when one out of every three people

are drinking on a regular daily basis, chemicals that give you cancer, we're going to have

to deal with that too. It could be your spouse, it could be your child, it could be your mother,

your father, your sister, your best friend, your coworker, your boss. It could be you

drinking that water. One out of three isn't very good odds for any of us, and we could

fix that easily. We could put a stop to it today, but the EPA refuses to do it because

they believe that corporations have more rights than American citizens.

Donald Trump Jr. Calls Teachers LOSERS At Rally With His Dad - Duration: 5:31.

This week, Donald Trump jr headed down to El Paso, Texas with daddy to give a speech

about why they hate immigrants so damn much, but trump jr wasn't content to just attack

immigrants in his speech.

No, he had to go and attack American teachers.

Here's what he had to say.

Do you know what I love?

I love seeing some young conservatives because I know it's not easy

up that fight.

Bring it to your schools.

You don't have to be indoctrinated by these loser teachers that are trying to sell you

on socialism from birth.

You don't have to do it.

Losers.

He called American teachers some of the hardest working yet lowest paid people here in the

United States.

He called them losers.

If you are a teacher and you are a conservative, you are endorsing this.

You are saying, I am fine with this political party telling me I'm a loser because trump

jr wasn't down there being a representative of the trump organization alone.

No, this was a campaign rally.

This was a policy rally.

Trump junior was there as a representative of the Republican Party and that Republican

Party representative called you a loser.

Let me tell you a story real quick here.

My wife is a special education teacher.

Uh, she deals with the children who can become extremely violent.

My wife is not a very big person.

And, uh, shortly before Christmas a student ran off and she attempted to go and retrieve

the student as she supposed to.

Another male teacher went with her.

Things got a little a physical from the student towards the teacher.

My wife was kicked down a hill at our school, tore her knee pretty bad, and we found out

yesterday actually, that now she is going to have to have surgery to repair her acl.

She hasn't missed, did not miss a single day of work from that injury.

She typically works between 10 and 11 hours per day in at least one full day on weekends

trying to lesson plan.

Trying to give these students who have such severe needs a better opportunity to do better

in the future, to have a meaningful and productive life.

Even though they physically assault her.

She has been bitten by student, she has been punched, she has come home with bruises all

over her body is from these kids and this son of a bitch is going to sit on a stage

in Texas and tell me she's a loser.

There are so many words I want to say right now to describe Donald Trump, jr, all of them

immensely profane, but he is a worthless waste of a human being.

He is an absolute pile of human excrement that somehow came to life as one of the most

privileged little assholes in this country.

He is a disgusting prick of a human being and I feel that way because what he says directly

contradicts what I have seen, not just from my wife but from other family members and

friends who also happen to be teachers.

They bust their asses every day and I have never heard or seen a single one of them try

to indoctrinate a child.

Meanwhile, conservatives have all these little groups, all these little college groups out

there are these little high school groups popping up whose sole purpose is to go out

there and indoctrinate children.

This is projection projection from Donald Trump jr.

The problem is, too many people in this country believe it.

I don'T care what side of the aisle you are on, teachers do not deserve the bullshit that

they put up with solely from the republican party.

That's where it's coming from.

We need to treat these people who are basically interesting, were interesting.

our future to them, they're the ones who have to educate the next generation and we treat

them and pay them like absolute garbage.

And then you've got a true loser in Donald Trump jr who had the audacity to stand up

there on that podium and attack them for something that's not even true.

You know, that actually kind of sounds like the entire hallmark of the trump administration

attack others because you're so weak and pathetic yourself that you have nothing positive to

say about anybody and you would rather tear them down because you don't know how to build

yourself up.
