Its been a year since donald trump shot election victory and yet the controversies keep coming this week his former Campaign Chairman was charged with conspiring against the u. S. One another former Campaign Aide pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. About his contacts with russia in this other from special all challenge prominent conservative supporter and former president of the u. S. National Rifle Association david keene on president trumps record so far and ask when it comes to guns whether the n. R. A. Is helping or hurting. David keene thanks for joining me on up front almost exactly a year ago donald trump won the president ial election proved all of his critics and opponents wrong but what they dont seem to be wrong about is that his presidency would be the disaster that seems to have become on monday of this week Paul Campaign was indicted on several charges pleaded not guilty to several charges including conspiracy against the United States how bad do you think it is for a president of the us to have someone. In that way is former Campaign Chairman a guy who used to call him twenty times a day called him a great asset known him for forty years he lives inside the apartment that this guys surrender yourself the f. B. I. Where there are a lot of people that live in trump towers i tell you this. When you look at what happened recently in these in these indictments there are a lot of legal experts that have looked at it and said basically what were talking about is over charging for purposes of leverage mr mann afford and im not here to defend him and im not going to defend him he was charged with with his conspiracy against the United States was that he hadnt filed as a Foreign Agent for activities that took place and long before he was associated with trump in the campaign the indictments run to twenty seventeen thats not true donald trump lied this week on twitter when he said that you know the studies run up to twenty seven he was indicted there are two items from one lets be clear about that very very few people if any have been indicted on felony charges for what he did generally a misdemeanor generally what they say is you havent registered you need to do it so theres that secondly the Money Laundering charge that was brought against him is on the face of it is going to be very difficult to prove because the statute requires that for Money Laundering you have to be laundering money thats the result of a crime when the Campaign Chairman of the president of states has to surrender himself when a full account by an advisor to the president United States admits pleads guilty to lying to the f. B. I. About his connection to the russians about something you dont think damages the president makes the president look pretty system of course it looks bad two things though one he was the he was he was hired by trump to do the convention which is what he does secondly none of these charges as as everybodys observed have anything to do with collusion none of them have to do with the campaign that George Zimmerman charges against the advice the other guy guilty is to do we go theres another guy whom i never met was it was not you know i dont know is irrelevant to trump i know that trump well he he was in campaigns put together these volunteer Advisory Boards you know they announced a whole bunch of people thank goodness a lot of those people never went into the administration or anything but today thats to say thats a High Campaign advisor lisa. Next to trump trump called him an excellent guy next to the guy but he did it as if you spoke in defense of trump saying in a speech last month that hoping for trumps removal from office by impeachment or indictment for colluding with the nations enemies is unconscionable and incredibly dangerous lets be clear the Republican Party that your politics of tried and failed to impeach bill clinton over a sex scandal with an intern some of them want to impeach barack obama of a bengali executive orders and the rest and yet youll say the democrats a liberal shouldnt mention the way to impeachment when trump sachs is f. B. I. Chief said i did it because of russia and a former adviser pleads guilty to lying about when i never said that they shouldnt mention it i think that impeachment is something that divides and is very difficult to do the impeachment against against clinton didnt work but you would accept its a legitimate discussion right now given the con security of the things we determine is a Political Tool congress has every right to do that whether its wise or whether it can succeed or whether its good for the country you called it is unconscionable to call the status of the president might be working with the nations enemies therefore we should investigate and maybe impeach him they are investigating there is no. Evidence that the president has ever worked with the nations enemies there is evidence that people around trump tied to russia trump may be tied to russia weve not seen attacks in what is what mi tied to russian connection to russia we know that dont we dont know as russians no no no that means they met with the russian government officials are trying to do that because youve met with government russian if not to attend a u. S. Election come and you know thats against the no evidence yes there is theres the better way to lose what we know they dont know met with ok heres what i dont get the n. S. A. The f. B. I. The cia all say Vladimir Putin interfered in the election what do you know they dont know i dont know anything that they dont know. How to tell you this you think its all the russians the americans we all interfered in elections all the time does it usually work when when you throw russia to the. Oh no i dont not thats not my mom dad im not my only point is that it is not my fault that i cant imagine if president Hillary ClintonCampaign Chairman indicted her advice a pleading guilty to russia go that she had sacked the f. B. I. Sitting here just your driving isnt helping you get injured on an order of Business Partners you would say dangerous unconscionable if a president Hillary Clinton should be impeached by now by the g. O. P. If she had done ten percent of what you know that and i know that i know you thats not true just to be clear i mean one of the issues im going to talk about guns and you know donald trump had the support of the n. R. A. Even though he used to be a big supporter of gun control but he switched on that like a switch and a lot of things how can you trust him on gun control or any other issue this is a guy who according to the Washington Post has made Thirteen Hundred full statement since his inauguration thats around five lies a day and you trust him you know that i dont know that thats true either but we do trust him on that for a variety of reasons one he made a commitment secondly he stuck to the commitment and were very pleased with what hes substantively done in this area and particularly in this isnt just people that are Second Amendment supporters but the constitution and the Supreme Court became a big issue in two thousand and sixteen he made a commitment that he would appoint people who were basically originalists like Antonin Scalia justice to the court with the appointment of neil gore six he delivered on that the appointments of this administration at the lower levels in the courts have been something that conservatives would like so so are you going can we trust him yes i think we can you must be one of the few people who say that david keene on the subject of guns its been over a month since a gunman killed fifty eight people and injured more than four hundred people in las vegas in what is considered to be one of the deadliest Mass Shootings in modern American History and yet apart from offering condolences and pray is neither the president nor congress has done anything in terms of legislation to stop such an attack from happening again do you know of any other government in the world that would sit back and do nothing as the u. S. Government does with the n. R. A. Support each and every mass shooting the question is what can you do what. Law could you pass that would have prevented what happened there or prevented some of these things now lets put these these Mass Shootings in and the killing of any person whether its with a gun or a knife or with a truck is a tragedy but lets ask ourselves what can you do thats been proposed that would prevent that sort of thing and one of the reasons that a lot of these new laws that or feel good laws have been suggested by people havent been passed is because they ultimately come up to the question is of this and this is what happens in congress and elsewhere if that law passed would it have prevented this or would have would it prevent another activity like this and the answer is always well no but it would be a good thing to do many would say that the laws have been passed because of the power of the n. R. A. And those laws which obviously we obviously we speak which imo is only millions of american gun owners you do but the fact of the matter is that speaking for people is not enough you also have to be able to make a cut case of making a case you say what can be done this is a Global Channel a global t. V. Show millions of people around the world are watching this who dont have the same problems with guns that the United States other countries have managed to solve this problem do you know what the u. K. Government did in march one thousand nine hundred six after a man shot and killed sixteen children in dunblane scotland in Great Britain today what did the u. K. Do they banned how do you even have to go outside of britain to say about hunger the olympic you know its current has been how many how many Mass Shootings in the hamdan since one thousand nine hundred six usually Mass Shootings dont take place with handguns no this wont do it so how many since then. Zero surprise surprise well there are very many Mass Shootings anywhere do you know anybody just oh thats not true you know you know what the Australian Government didnt april one thousand nine hundred twenty nine use an automatic rifle to everybody i mean they banned shotguns and they destroyed most of the weapons you know how many Mass Shootings have been in australia since one thousand nine hundred six if you talk about mass zero to the point of pride while iraq or im Violent Crime in an australian something we talk about just about shooting people are not as bad as shooting. Elves and their families but you do realize the gun crime came gun violence went down in australia that if you dont actually know how to use the knife or a baseball bat youre going to have the same number of deaths and you would have the same number of dead theyre all the same number of deaths there are the same number you believe theyre the same number of deaths with baseball bats as are all with guns it was country for again this is going to gamble for this country according the Us Government every year more people are beaten to death with fists than are than are killed with all the long guns including some automatic weapons period ok so should we ban fish we call money that salvia matter is what you found about weaponry you can restrict to anyone who would ask for banning theres a Second Amendment in the constitution in this country your book is about that which says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed but its about restricting access the us has an eighty six times the gun homicide rate is canada seven times as high as sweden sixteen times as high as germany and youre saying we can do anything about it everyone else in the west has managed to do something about it those are very Different Countries exactly different they dont have a Second Amendment they dont have this gun culture that you have we have a gun culture which were very proud of even though it needs to be the title of the book the reference that i or that i coauthored shall not be infringed is a reference to not just the Second Amendment but the reason the Second Amendment was adopted it did not stablish in this country the right to own a firearm nor did establish the right to defend to defend oneself what it did was recognize the preexisting right that philosophers have talked about for thousands of years of the right of a man and a woman to defend themselves their families or communities. Against a hostile actors in the United States at the time of its formation. Defend incorporated that right into the constitution so it would be there a lot of people again watching around the world would say so what seven hundred ninety one i think the Second Amendment was passed things changed the world moves on slaves were mentioned in the constitution in seventy ninety one the United States abolished slavery amended the constitution why you types i think a lot of if youre going to scripture its a lot of a lot of tell yourself that a lot of you know you were dying as a result in a lot of countries know that they would like to have the right to defend themselves and their families the United States is not the most violent country you know how many countries in the world to guarantee a right to bear arms and it comes to the United States thats not the point you know how many in most you know how many of britain for example u. S. Written in a how to defend yourself you can be arrested you know movie and written looks at america and says we want to americas gun problem i can assure you that having fact made my life in the United States i think im sure the polling is just like american politics the majority of americans want gun control you do realize the n. R. A. Is in a minority you know it is the polls show that even gun owners hands a majority of a gun and it is about universal background check and support. It depends entirely on how you ask the question and in fact the support for Second Amendment rights is growing in todays if you look at poll of the cohort that is most supportive today of Second Amendment rights are the youngest voters that are coming in so the the in attitudes change over time but the but the support for the Second Amendment right of. The Second Amendment nice goalpost shifting the majority of gun owners a majority of americans support universal background checks a gun database more gun to your organization doesnt seem like the majority of americans on gun and its the majority of americans arent even going to be lots of pens about half your present among about half are thirty percent according to the pew polling from this year you know it depends again on the poll because of what you tend to let me let me tell you this when you Say Something like you believe in universal background checks thats a feel good question then when you ask question. Its about do you think that if you sell a gun or give a gun to your grandchild that should require you to go to the government and get a thing then they say oh no the biggest gun seller in americas walmart if you go to walmart and thats where most are places like that a point is you can buy guns outside of walmart you can get it on here you can without any i provide any i. D. Well you can buy a printer in a private sale just as you know a car in a private sale without going through a dealer yeah and you still have to get very very you have to do it on ice a very regular car you have ever purchased that way in fact there have been studies of felons where do you get your guns they dont get them legal its interesting its interesting the point is interesting mention cause car is it can be a Deadly Weapon as we saw in new york a truck or a car but you need a license to drive a car you need a health check to drive a car need a cite test to drive a car you need to pasta test a driver nothing you need to ensure theres nothing in the constitution that guarantees you the right to drive a car thats seen as a group you were on the side of you know what is in the constitution a right to vote why is it what is easier to buy a gun in the majority of american states than it is easy to view it is not yes it is just it is not you dont need to photo any sort of gun you just tell
