NRA Issues Blistering Response to Trump's Alarming Gun Statement - Duration: 3:53.
NRA Issues Blistering Response to Trump's Alarming Gun Statement
Donald Trump seems to be in a precarious position on gun rights — and the most well-known
gun rights group in the nation just called him out on his questionable stance.
As we reported yesterday, Trump recently held a free-wheeling meeting where he tossed around
ideas about how to reduce gun violence in America.
The usually pro-gun president made statements that have conservatives scratching their heads,
and hoping that he simply misspoke.
"Take the guns first, go through due process second," Trump declared, referring to proposals
to seize firearms when somebody was suspected of being mentally ill or threatening.
The apparent eagerness to go around due process — the checks and balances designed to prevent
government overreach — were seen as red flags by many supporters of the Second Amendment
and civil liberties in general.
So did Trump's willingness to drop a national concealed carry measure that would allow law-abiding
citizens to more easily carry across state lines.
National Rifle Association leaders had apparently seen enough.
The gun training and safety group called out the president for pandering to the audience
while doing nothing to actually stop crime.
"While today's meeting made for great TV, the gun control proposals discussed would
make for bad policy that would not keep our children safe," NRA spokeswoman Jennifer
Baker declared to The Hill.
"Instead of punishing law-abiding gun owners for the acts of a deranged lunatic our leaders
should pass meaningful reforms that would actually prevent future tragedies," the
spokeswoman continued.
Baker and the NRA scolded politicians for grouping law-abiding Americans in with the
deranged killer in Florida, and pointed out that the appalling failures of government
in stopping the shooter at both the federal and local levels reinforced exactly why the
Second Amendment is so important.
"Doing everything we can as a nation to address the problem of dangerous people committing
heinous acts is not inconsistent with the Second Amendment — the systemic failures
of government to keep us safe reinforces the need for the Second Amendment," Baker said.
"We will continue to support legislative efforts to make our schools and communities
safe and oppose gun control schemes that cannot keep us safe and only punish law-abiding Americans,"
the NRA spokeswoman concluded.To his credit — and possibly to everyone's increasing
confusion — Trump seemed to acknowledge that he might have stepped in the proverbial
ca-ca during the gun law meeting.
"Many ideas, some good & some not so good, emerged from our bipartisan meeting on school
safety yesterday at the White House," Trump posted on Twitter Thursday morning.
(Emphasis added.)"Background Checks a big part of conversation.
Gun free zones are proven targets of killers.
After many years, a Bill should emerge.
Respect 2nd Amendment!" he continued.A tweet voicing support for the Second Amendment may
not go far enough to alleviate fears that Trump isn't a close ally on gun rights.
Seeming to ignore due process as a minor annoyance is not something that can be easily ignored.
The NRA is right on this: It's important to realize that law-abiding gun owners are
not in the same category as a criminal who made repeated threats against a school, and
then carried them out.
Dealing with criminals does not need to be inconsistent with the Second Amendment.
Press "Share on Facebook" if you believe that due process and the rule of law still
matters, even after a tragedy.
How would you respond to Trump's statements?

Questions revolve around about how Melania Trump scored 'the Einstein visa' - Duration: 6:14.
In 2000, Melania Knauss, a Slovenian model, began petitioning the government for the right
to permanently reside in the United States under a program reserved for people with "extraordinary
ability."
Knauss' credentials included runway shows in Europe, a Camel cigarette billboard ad
in Times Square and - in her biggest job at the time - a spot in the swimsuit edition
of Sports Illustrated, which featured her on the beach in a string bikini, hugging a
six-foot inflatable whale.
In March 2001, she was granted a green card in the elite EB-1 program, which was designed
for renowned academic researchers, multinational business executives or those in other fields,
such as Olympic athletes and Oscar-winning actors, who demonstrated "sustained national
and international acclaim."
"We called it the Einstein visa," said Bruce Morrison, a former Democratic congressman
and chairman of the House subcommittee that wrote the Immigration Act of 1990 defining
EB-1.
The year that Knauss - now first lady Melania Trump - got her legal residency, only five
people from Slovenia received green cards under the EB-1 program, according to the State
Department.
In all, of the more than one million green cards issued in 2001, just 3,376 - or a fraction
of one percent - were issued to immigrants with "extraordinary ability," according to
government statistics.
Melania Trump's ability to secure her green card not only set her on the path to U.S.
citizenship, but put her in the position to sponsor the legal residency of her parents,
Viktor and Amalija Knavs.
The Washington Post reported earlier this month that the couple is now close to obtaining
their own citizenship.
President Donald Trump has proposed ending the sponsorship of relatives such as parents,
slamming as "chain migration" the decades-long ability of U.S. citizens to assist relatives
in obtaining legal residency.
"Chain migration must end now!
Some people come in, and they bring their whole family with them, who can be truly evil.
Not acceptable!" Trump tweeted in November.
Michael Wildes, an attorney for Melania Trump and her family, declined to comment on whether
she sponsored her parents for green cards.
He said he was not surprised that so few immigrants from Slovenia obtained EB-1 green cards in
2001 because the criteria is stringent.
"Mrs. Trump was more than amply qualified and solidly eligible," he said.
But he declined to discuss the qualifications that the first lady cited in her petition
for permanent residency.
"There is no reason to adjudicate her petition publicly when her privacy is so important
to her," Wildes said.
A White House spokeswoman for the first lady referred questions about her immigration process
to Wildes.
Immigration experts said the president's efforts to restrict legal immigration spotlight lingering
questions about how the first lady and her family members obtained residency in the United
States.
The biggest one: how did she convince immigration authorities that she qualified for the EB-1
program?
Morrison, the former congressman and immigration expert, said that Melania Trump's resume in
2001 seems "inconsistent" with the requirements of the visa.
To obtain an EB-1 under the extraordinary ability category, an immigrant has to provide
evidence of a major award or meet at least three out of 10 criteria.
Among them: evidence of commercial successes in the performing arts, evidence of work displayed
at artistic exhibitions and evidence of original contributions to a field.
"What did she submit?" asked David Leopold, an immigration lawyer and a past president
of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
"There are a lot of questions about how she procured entry into the United States."
The process of deciding who meets the "extraordinary ability" standard is subjective, said Sarah
Pierce, an immigration expert at the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based think
tank.
But it is generally thought that only the top two percent of people in their field would
qualify, she said, adding that the "quintessential award you want to put on the application is
Nobel Prize."
The first lady came to the United States from Slovenia in 1996, first briefly on a visitor's
visa and then on work visas, according to Wildes.
Initially, she was not widely known in the highly competitive New York fashion world,
according to people in the industry.
"She was never a supermodel, she was a working model - like so many others in New York,"
said one person who knew her in the 1990s and requested anonymity to discuss the first
lady's early years in the United States.
In 1998, at age 28, she began dating Trump after meeting him at a party, an association
that raised her modeling profile.
She started appearing on Page Six and in other celebrity columns on the arm of the real estate
developer.
At the time, she was modeling on a work visa for skilled immigrants.
Melania Trump received five H1-B visas between October 1996 and 2001, Wildes has said.
Under her husband's administration, such temporary visas have been harder to get, dropping by
more than 50,000 in 2017 compared with the previous year, according to U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services.
In January 2000, in perhaps her most widely known photo shoot, Melania Trump appeared
on the cover of British GQ magazine.
The accompanying article predicted that the political aspirations of Trump - then making
a bid for the Reform Party nomination - could transform his Slovenian girlfriend into the
first lady of the United States one day.
"I will put all my effort into it," she told the magazine, "and I will support my man."

President Trump Announces Steel And Aluminum Tariffs - Duration: 0:38.
President Donald Trump says the U.S. will place tariffs on steel and aluminum imports
next week.
This announcement came at a last-minute "listening session" with steel and aluminum company executives,
who support the tariffs.
Trump said there will be a 25 percent tariff for steel and a 10 percent tariff for aluminum.
The move appears to be a push by the president to make trade deals more beneficial to U.S.
companies.
It's unclear if the tariffs will apply to all countries.
But this could set off a trade war with major powers like China and the European Union.
Politico notes members of the Trump administration are concerned tariffs would upset key allies.

Phản Ứng của Trung Quốc Trước Thông Điệp của Tổng Thống Trump | Trung Quốc Không Kiểm Duyệt - Duration: 3:16.
On this episode of China Uncensored,
is it getting cold in here?
Or is it just your cold war mentality?
Hi, welcome to China Uncensored,
I'm your host Chris Chappell.
China reacts to "the biggest, best State of the Union, ever."
It was an hour and 20 minutes long,
way longer than a typical tweet.
Of course, you're just watching to see
if you get name dropped.
And China's did.
Right alongside Russia.
And terrorist groups.
"Around the world,
we face rogue regimes,
terrorist groups,
and rivals like China and Russia
that challenge our interests,
our economy,
and our values."
Now why do you have to be like that?
China's fine.
It won't try to block America's new moment,
as state-run Xinhua says.
But also, if the US doesn't stop
this kind of Cold War mentality,
there's going to be problems.
"We hope the US can abandon Cold War mentality
and outdated zero-sum game ideas,
treat China and US-China relations properly."
Yeah, treat US-China relations properly.
Like, stop talking about intellectual property theft.
"And we will protect American workers
and American intellectual property,
through strong enforcement of our trade rules."
Because we all know who Trump's talking about—
without naming names.
It's about stopping the Chinese Communist Party
from stealing an estimated $5 trillion dollars a year
in American innovation.
That is such a Cold War mentality.
And of course,
no speech in front of a crowd by Trump would be complete
without a reference to Rocket Man.
"We need only look at the depraved character
of the North Korean regime
to understand the nature of the nuclear threat
it could pose to America and to our allies."
Of course the Chinese regime
might agree with President Trump on that one.
Let's just say China is not known
for its environment of open debate.
But academics have been given a free pass
to debate what to do about North Korea.
Of course that courtesy has not been
extended to the general public.
And its seems like President Trump
may have successfully driven a wedge between
the former best Communist neighbors.
According to this South Korean newspaper,
North Korea has banned Chinese retail products.
I guess beggars can be choosers.
So what's your reaction to China's reaction
to President Trump's State of the Union address?
Leave your comments below.
Thanks for watching this episode of China Uncensored.
Once again I'm your host Chris Chappell.
See you next time.

South Korea to send special envoy to North Korea, Moon tells Trump - Duration: 2:40.
President Moon Jae-in plans to send a special envoy to North Korea.
A detailed announcement could be made as early as next week.
Our chief Cheongwadae correspondent Moon Connyoung starts us off with ongoing efforts to keep
the peaceful momentum going.
South Korea will send a special envoy to North Korea to follow up on a visit by the sister
of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to the South last month.
That's what South Korean President Moon Jae-in told his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump during
a late night phone conversation Thursday, the first direct contact between the two leaders
since the rare high-level visits by North Korea across the border in recent weeks.
The presidential office suggested the decision was part of an effort to continue diplomatic
momentum after a series of exchanges between the two Koreas around the Winter Olympics
which wrapped up on Sunday.
Stating that Presidents Moon and Trump discussed the latest engagement between the two Koreas...
the Blue House said the two allies agreed to "maintain and push forward" the momentum
of inter-Korean talks and continue to make efforts towards denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula.
The White House released a similar statement hours later... but with a slightly different
tone... saying the two leaders noted their strong position that any dialogue with North
Korea must be conducted with the explicit and unwavering goal of complete, verifiable,
and irreversible denuclearization.
Mr. Moon, who advocates dialogue with the North to defuse tensions, have urged both
Washington and Pyongyang to give ground to allow for talks.
In sending a special envoy to Pyongyang, the South Korean leader told the U.S. president
that he would be seeking to reciprocate for the senior delegations from North Korea...
including the sister of the North Korean leader, which marked the first visit by a member of
the North's ruling bloodline since the Korean War in the early 1950s.
She traveled with an invitation from her brother for President Moon to visit Pyongyang for
an inter-Korean summit.
The South Korean leader has not yet agreed to the summit... but observers say Seoul's
dispatch of a special envoy to the North could clear the way for a potential summit between
the two Koreas.
Seoul has not identified who the special envoy would be or when the trip would take place
but, sources in the Blue House say President Moon is looking at no later than mid-March
to send North his envoy.
Despite the developments, however, the situation on the Korean Peninsula remains highly volatile
and the possibility of a breakthrough crossborder summit still murky... given the possibility
of joint South Korea-U.S. military drills resuming after the PyeongChang Winter Paralympics
which runs from March 9 to the 18th.

BREAKING: Trump Just Met With NRA To Make New AWESOME Move For 2A – He Tricked Libs All Along! - Duration: 2:19.
news alert breaking Trump just met with NRI to make new also move for to a key
trick lives all along President Trump and the White House have slipped back on
the support for the universal background checks proposed for gun purchases while
this does not mean that background checks for guns will not be supported or
improved it just says that there is currently not support in place for the
universal background checks that some liberal Democrats may have called for
Trump initially seemed to support the idea which makes sense because the
president should listen to all ideas and make a firm decision on them after
considering their potential to be a benefit it seems as though the White
House is backing off the concept of universal background checks many
Americans realized that the background check system should be improved to help
prevent people with mental illness criminal backgrounds or even getting the
police called a dozen times like school shooter Nikolai's Cruz from purchasing a
gun legally the reason the White House backed off the support of a universal
background check is that the word universal means something different to
many people the White House was smart to withhold support because Trump has not
yet been able to read and adequately submitted legislation pertaining to
universal background checks it's hard to support something without it being in
writing analyzed and discussed the lack of Trump's blind support for something
he has not yet read is churning the guts of the Liberal Democrats as they
embellish on another meltdown even though Trump and the White House put
their foot down firmly with some common sense Democrats like Senator Dianne
Feinstein will not be happy with this the hill reported more on the poll out
press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump supports not necessarily
universal background checks but certainly improving the background check
system he wants to see what that legislation the final piece of it looks
like she told reporters at the White House Universal means something
different to a lot of people he certainly wants to focus and improve
on the background check system system

Trump says U.S. to impose steel, aluminum tariffs next week - Duration: 2:20.
Our top story this afternoon..
U.S. President Donald Trump says he will sign off on steep tariffs on steel and aluminum
imports next week, hitting producers like South Korea and China.
The Dow Jones industrial average slumped after the announcement amid fears of a trade war.
Park Jong-hong reports.
President Trump has made it clear that steel and aluminum exports to the U.S. will be subject
to tariffs of 25 and 10 percent, respectively.
Trump is slated to sign an executive order next week making it official.
The plan was unveiled after a White House meeting with industry executives on Thursday.
President Trump added the move is aimed at propping up the U.S. industry and creating
jobs for American workers.
"It'll be 25 percent for steel.
It'll be 10 percent for aluminum.
And it'll be for a long period of time.
... We'll be signing it in and you will have protection for the first time in a long while.
And you've got to re-grow your industries."
He also said U.S. companies had been 'decimated' and had been treated unfairly by other countries
for decades.
Analysts say it's unclear whether the rates of 25 percent for steel and 10 percent for
aluminum will be instituted across the board or have some exceptions.
Trade sources in Washington think the rates would not apply to Canada which hires a number
of American workers.
In any case, if the rate turns out to be final, South Korea will be letting out a sigh of
relief as the U.S. Commerce Department had initially suggested dropping a tariff bomb
of more than 53 percent on 12 countries, including Korea.
Following Canada and Brazil, South Korea is the third largest exporter of steel to the
U.S. with last year's export volume estimated at three-point-six-five million tons.
Critics say Trump's measures will fail to boost jobs and even risk stoking a trade war
with China.
Beijing has already threatened to curb U.S. imports of soybeans and the European Union
says it will consider taking action as well.

-------------------------------------------
Why Trump Is Wrong About Offshore Drilling - Duration: 3:32.
(upbeat music)
- [Brian Palmer, NRDC] In 1896, drillers struck oil
in 35 feet of water off the Santa Barbara coast.
It kicked off more than a century
of arguing about the oil and gas
buried in the continental shelf.
In January, the Trump administration announced a plan
to expose almost the entire U.S. coastline to drilling.
To understand why this decision shocked people,
you have to understand a little about
how the process is supposed to work
and how the Trump administration basically ignored it.
In the late 1970s, the Interior Department
divided the coast into 26 segments.
Since then, every few years,
the department is supposed to examine
whether it makes sense to allow drilling
in each of these areas.
And take this one.
Drilling would threaten Atlantic coastal communities,
which rely on fishing and tourism.
So most administrations have taken this out.
Alaska's Bristol Bay hosts
the world's greatest salmon fishery,
so this one usually comes out, too.
After each round of decisions,
the administration is required
to seek feedback from other parts of the federal government,
state officials, and the public.
Maybe the military asks to eliminate portions of this block,
because oil exploration would
interfere with naval activities.
Maybe Californians ask to protect this area,
because it's home to endangered whales.
There are lots of reasons not to drill for oil
along the U.S. coastline.
Presidents can also place moratoria
on drilling in certain areas,
as the first President Bush,
President Clinton, and President Obama all did.
That can take them off the map permanently.
Most administrations have decided not to allow leasing
along the vast majority of the coast,
in part because Congress prohibited drilling
in most areas up until 2008.
These are the only segments where George H. W. Bush
allowed leasing in 1992.
This is Bill Clinton's map from 1997.
This is what George W. Bush did.
And this is the most recent plan
completed by President Obama in 2016:
He only considered drilling leases
in these three segments in the Gulf
and this one in Alaska.
In President Trump's draft plan,
he excluded this one-nothing else.
That's right.
Under Trump's current proposal,
drilling can happen almost anywhere in American waters.
Why would he do that?
Well, while citizens, politicians, and admirals are
telling the administration where not to drill,
oil executives are clamoring to drill everywhere.
They say things like this.
- [Oil Executive] The industries reliance
on advanced state-of-the-art technology
ensures that we can safely and responsibly
develop the vast oil and gas resources off our coast.
- [Palmer] You hear that enough times,
and it becomes hard to resist.
Here's President Obama,
one of the most environmentally friendly presidents
in modern American history on April 2, 2010.
- [President Obama] It turns out, by the way,
that oil rigs today generally don't cause spills.
They are technologically very advanced.
- [Palmer] Eighteen days later, this happened.
The oil impacted communities in five states
across 1,300 miles of U.S. coastline.
President Obama learned a lesson
from the Deepwater Horizon: There will always be spills.
That's why near the end of his term,
he banned drilling forever in most of the Arctic
and important parts of the Atlantic.
This is also why governors in most coastal states
oppose Trump's plan.
Drilling would threaten their economies
and the communities that rely on coastal waters.
Two-hundred municipalities, 1,200 local officials,
and 40,000 coastal businesses
have spoken out against offshore drilling in their areas.
By proposing to drill just about everywhere,
President Trump is ignoring not only these people-
and the permanent legal limitations instituted
by past administrations-
he's also ignoring the lessons of history.
Remember those Santa Barbara wildcatters?
They drilled for six years,
then left the beach covered in oil.
There will always be spills.
