how do you address this? the left will say there isn t an emergency but to these people they suffered tremendous losses very much. a real crisis in their lives. i agree and they deserve all the love and respect they should be getting. i understand too in some respects what i think we are seeing from the executive side is a reflection of the gridlock on the legislative side. this isn t anything new, donald trump isn t doing anything new, donald trump president obama issued similar executive actions. the challenge is the president setting from obama and trump and moving forward which over the next administration is, how willingly they do these things from climate change to any other issue. you make a point because the president said many other national emergency 7 declared, many still in effect right now, several previous presidents, not

next president say environment is an emergence. anything you can t get through congress, here s your answer. this is political cat nip. the fact he s declaring an emergency he s saying isn t an emergency. he just wants to expedite the process. to decide on a whim whenever they want to that something is a nationalmergence. we re one year from parkland. gun violence is actually a nationalmergence. 100 people die every day from gun violence. there have been 25 shoots since the beginning of the year and we re only at february 15th. so if you want to declare a national emergency, now is the time to do that around gun violence. but we re doing what trump wants, which is to appease his base. you look at the numbers. we know they don t believe in
