Trump news on Youtube Jan 12 2019

AFSCME joined hundreds of people who gathered in front of the White House today,

to urge an end to President Donald Trump's partial government shutdown.

Approximately 800,000 federal employees and contract workers who perform

important functions have been negatively impacted,

and will not be receiving a paycheck this upcoming week.

It's unclear how long Trump will continue this

harmful course of political posturing; what is clear is that this will be the

longest government shutdown in history, and it is having severe consequences on

working families, communities, and our economy.

Seattle Fox Affiliate Fires Editor After It Aired Doctored Trump Video - News Today - Duration: 2:03.

A Seattle TV station has fired a film editor after the station aired a clip of Donald Trump's speech on Tuesday that appeared to be doctored.

The video aired by Fox affiliate KCPQ seemed to make the president look even more orange than usual and looped a portion in which he can be seen sticking out his tongue between sentences, according to The Seattle Times.

The altered video came to light after a listener pointed it out to Todd Herman, who hosts a conservative talk radio show on KTTH.

"We performed a side-by-side comparison of the video from our listener, apparently taken by a smart phone recording of Q13, to the raw video of Trump's speech from CNN," Herman wrote on MyNorthwest.com.

The video comparison appears below:

Erica Hill, the station's news director, responded to the allegations of fakery on Thursday.

"This does not meet our editorial standards and we regret if it is seen as portraying the president in a negative light," she told The Seattle Times.

A few hours later, Hill released another statement:

It is unclear whether the now-canned employee doctored video or just allowed it to go on air, the Seattle Times reported.

But while Hill regrets the video, Lester Black, a columnist at The Stranger, a Seattle-based alt weekly, called it "a conceptual failure."

"If this editor really wanted to do something damaging to Trump they would doctor the video to show him helping a small brown kid do his homework or maybe show Trump wearing a pussy hat," Black said. "These are the core values that upset Trump voters and Fox viewers."

Trump Sets Record With Longest Government Shutdown Ever - News Today - Duration: 8:55.

The partial government shutdown has now gone on for 22 days, making it the longest such closure in U.S. history.

Many of the affected federal employees had missed at least one paycheck as of Saturday, when the shutdown hit record length. The financial stress is leading some workers to look for other jobs, ask relatives for money, apply for unemployment or even go without essentials like medication. Meanwhile, other Americans are facing a host of inconveniences and hardships, from shuttered museums to delayed farm loans.

"We've dipped into our savings account already. If it keeps going, my husband said he'll call his parents and see if they'll lend us some money," said DeCarann Speaks, a mother of two and the wife of a Border Patrol agent in Vermont who is working without a paycheck. ""

President Donald Trump is insisting that Congress give him $5.7 billion to build a wall on the border with Mexico, a proposition Democrats describe as a costly and immoral boondoggle. With talks at a standstill in Washington, the president headed to the border on Thursday to make his case for the wall. He said he is considering declaring a national emergency to get the funding Democrats have denied him, a maneuver all but certain to be challenged in court.

The impasse has meant that roughly a quarter of federal government functions are no longer funded, with agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the Interior Department and the Internal Revenue Service largely shut down. Approximately 380,000 federal employees have been furloughed and are out of work, while another 420,000 are still working as "essential" personnel but are not being paid.

The shutdown, which began Dec. 22, was technically the third to take place in 2018, although the first lasted a mere three days, and the second lasted just a few hours and did not result in any furloughs. There have been 21 similar funding lapses since 1976, but only a handful of major shutdowns in which workers went without pay. Until now, the longest one had been a 21-day shutdown starting in December 1995, amid a deadlock between then-President Bill Clinton and congressional Republicans.

The current closure had only marginal impact on the general public at first, when many people were on vacation for the holidays and government offices were closed anyway. But as the shutdown drags on with no obvious end in sight, Americans are growing more aware and more annoyed by the disruption. More than four in 10 Americans now consider the partial shutdown a very serious problem, according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted Jan. 4 to 7.

The Trump administration has tried to mitigate some of the most noticeable effects of the shutdown to avoid public backlash. For instance, the National Park Service kept many parks open but with reduced staff, leading to piled-up trash and damaged vegetation in parks like Joshua Tree.

With the shutdown bleeding into tax season, the Internal Revenue Service is calling some employees back from furlough in order to process refunds after a change in policy from the White House. And the Agriculture Department announced a complicated plan to continue food assistance for the poor into February, to keep people fed and avoid further economic damage.

Government shutdowns are costly affairs. Federal agencies must spend time and energy developing contingency plans in the runup to a closure, then have to make up missed work once the government finally reopens. As the messy situation in national parks has demonstrated, the government's work does not stop just because funds haven't been appropriated for that work. Agencies will face a backlog of responsibilities to handle once they are fully operational again.

Shutdowns can also hurt the broader economy, as workers tighten their budgets due to missed paychecks and consumer confidence dampens. The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated that the 2013 shutdown of 16 days reduced GDP for the fourth quarter of that year by 0.3 percentage points.

Congress has already appropriated funding for roughly three-quarters of the federal government, leaving many agencies unaffected by the shutdown. House Democrats, who assumed the majority last week, passed bills that would reopen shuttered agencies other than DHS, which is at the center of the funding dispute. But Republican leaders in the Senate have refused to take up those bills and stood alongside the president, who threatened to veto any legislation without full wall funding.

The House and Senate approved a bill to pay all federal employees who have been missing paychecks, including those who were furloughed. But Trump still has to sign the bill. If he does, the workers would not receive any pay until the government reopens and payroll is processed.

Meanwhile, workers must still figure out how to pay their bills without a regular paycheck. Many are turning to interest-free loans or applying for unemployment benefits, which workers must return if they eventually receive backpay.

Trump's threat that the shutdown could go on "for years" rattled many workers unsure of how they'll cover their mortgage and car payments. The shutdown is a particularly raw deal for employees working under federal contracts, as they are not directly employed by the government and typically don't get backpay.

One such worker is Larry Howard, a 62-year-old guest services associate at the National Zoo in Washington. The zoo is part of the sprawling Smithsonian network, which closed on Jan. 2 as a result of the shutdown. Howard said he is employed by a non-profit contractor, the Friends of the National Zoo, earning $13.50 per hour in his part-time position. His last payday was Jan. 4, and he doesn't expect to receive a check next week as he normally would.

Howard had to ask his landlord for leniency on his January rent, paying only $400 of the $800. He also asked for more time to pay his electric bill ― an indignity he says he shouldn't have to suffer.

"The way this situation is, there's no other choice but try to persuade them that they'll get that money ... when I can get it to them," said Howard, who is an activist with Good Jobs Nation, a union-backed group pushing for higher pay for federal contractors. ""

Some Democrats are supporting a bill that would provide backpay for people like Howard who work under federal contracts and lost wages because of the shutdown. Such a bill has not made it into law in the past. "I hope that Congress will step up to the plate and pass some kind of bill for the contractors who aren't getting anything," Howard said.

Speaks, whose husband works for the Border Patrol along the U.S.-Canadian border, said both she and her husband have student loans to repay. She recently earned a degree in medical assisting and her loan repayments began just before the new year, right around the time her husband received his last paycheck.

For now, they are getting by on Speaks' salary at her hospital. Although their two children are just 8 and 9 years old, "They understand that we have to budget really well right now," Speaks said. The family halted their Netflix and Hulu subscriptions and put other non-necessities on hiatus, including a 10-year anniversary trip planned for this year.

Speaks said she found it particularly galling that members of Congress continue to get paid as federal employees work with their paychecks on hold.

"I just really wish they would focus on the people they're affecting," Speaks said. Workers like her husband and his colleagues "are out there risking their lives," she added, "and they're not getting paid. It's not fair."

Trump Admin Sparks Controversy As New Rules Officially Ban Firearm Bump Stocks - Duration: 1:01.

And finally tonight, some good news, shortly before the end of the year, the Trump administration

finalized some rules that officially banned the sale, use and ownership of bump stocks

for firearms.

These deadly devices are used to basically turn semiautomatic rifles into automatic rifles

by using the guns own force to re-cock and fire more rounds.

The bump stock was used in the deadly Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017, and it allowed

the shooter to kill and injure even more people than would have been possible using the regular

firearms.

This is a huge positive move, but it's also already sparked lawsuits from pro gun groups

who claim that it's some sort of liberal effort to take away their second amendment rights.

Regardless of your opinion on Trump, you have to give the man credit where credit is due

and banning these deadly devices was something that past presidents never had the courage

to accomplish, Democrat and Republican, but finally it's been done.

How Organized Labor Could Shutdown Trump's Shutdown For Good (2019) - Duration: 4:49.

The Senate has just adjourned. The

Democrats were gonna try to keep it open

throughout the weekend so that they

could, I don't know either make a

statement or perhaps even try to bring

up the legislation that passed the House

which is the exact same identical bill

that passed the Senate in March are on

December 19th

that would have reopened the government

and given Donald Trump a trillion 1.21

know one point six trillion dollars for

his damn wall.

But it wasn't enough right and so Mitch

McConnell said no we're not gonna hold a

vote on that he's been saying it all

week we're not gonna hold a vote on that

because Donald Trump will veto it well

there are simple reality is if Donald

Trump vetoed it he there are more than

enough votes in the so this passed

unanimously on December 19 now even

assuming that you know a number of these

Republican senators are gonna say oh no

I'm gonna stand with Donald Trump now

you know times are different there's

still 66 votes in the Senate to override

a veto particularly when you consider 22

senators Republican senators looking at

re-election in a little over a year and

a half and so you got that and then in

the House of Representatives they just

passed a piece of legislation that says

that federal employees who you know got

screwed who didn't get their paychecks

are will will be made whole that's not

gonna help the contractors and it's not

gonna help people who now had their

entire budget has been all just blown up

because they've got you know fees and

penalties and all kind of they bounced

checks I mean whatever it may be you

know and suddenly they're they're behind

particularly people like the TSA workers

who are pretty much at the bottom of the

federal pay scale who who are you know

in many cases living hand-to-mouth

in fact Miami has just announced that

Miami Airport has just announced that

Saturday from noon Saturday until until

as I recall 6 a.m. Sunday morning and

then from noon or 1 p.m. Sunday until

the same time Monday morning they're

shutting down terminal G in the Miami

Airport that's the terminal that is used

mostly by United Airlines so it's

starting to bite and and and they're

doing this because the in Miami the TSA

workers are calling it almost twice the

national rate calling in sick I mean

when in fact

probably what they're doing is they're

taking part-time jobs or getting gigs as

uber drivers or tasks rabbits or

whatever it may be and you know finding

something in the newspaper some way to

get actual cash to make it through and I

you know in this program on Tuesday I

think it was I suggested that if there

were any TSA employees listening and I

know that the typically there are

because every time I go through an

airport not every time but probably

every other time I go through an airport

at least one TSA person recognizes me

typically after they see my name on

there you know on my ID so if you're

listening TSA folks and it's always nice

to say Heidi in line but if you're

listening the the leverage that you have

the leverage the TSA has that will drive

Trump and the Republicans nuts is the

pre line the pre-check line the

pre-check line you know many just

regular coach frequent fliers qualify in

fact probably the majority of people who

are pre are just very very frequent

fliers and pre is now selling this thing

at seventy five bucks for five years or

something like that to get pre check but

also if you get a first-class ticket on

any airline you are pretty much

automatically and in pre I mean the

airline's do that for you and so if you

shut down the pre check lines you're

gonna be hitting the members of Congress

going home which they're doing today

you're gonna be hitting the lobbyists

going home you're gonna be hitting the

big money people who are flying around

the ones who have enough money that but

it can't quite afford a private jet

you're not gonna get the CEOs but you're

gonna get everybody else and you're

gonna create some serious disruption but

a disruption is the wrong word I'm not

advocating disrupting our air traffic

control system but shall we say it would

draw some attention because I know a lot

of people who have pre yeah I'm one of

them don't show up at the airport two

hours in advance because they know that

it's going to take them ten minutes get

through the line so the you know they

show up thirty minutes in advance go

through the lines stop at the bathroom

and go right to the gate and get on the

plane I mean that's that's about it

right all of a sudden now they're thrown

in a line that's an hour

half-long things are gonna change, so

just an idea
