Some teams like the titans, steelers and seahawks stayed in the locker room as the starspangled banner played. President trump deemed it unpatriotic, only to double down on his criticism in twitter post after twitter post calling on players to be fired if they disrespect our Great American flag and country. He remarked on the issue again as he boarded air force one back to the white house. When you get on your knee and you dont respect the American Flag or the anthem, thats not being true. Are you claiming racial tensions . It has nothing to do with race. Ive never said anything about race. This has nothing to do with race or anything else. This has to do with respect for our country and respect for our flag. A week ago before trumps comments, just six players protested.

Players took a knee and locked arms during the National Anthem. Hours later, back home, players across the nfl showed solidarity. Some sitting, others raising their fists. An han droe, a former army ranger was the lone teammate to take the field during the anthem. Neither team took the field. Tom brady who described the president as a friend stood with his teammates today linking his arm. This comes after the president doubled down on his call to end sports protest, taking aim at players like Colin Kaepernick who started the trend last year to stand against police brutality. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, hes fired. Hes fired reporter the president responded tweeting, great solidarity for our National Anthem and country. Standing with locked arms is good. Kneeling is not acceptable. Bad ratings. The administration saying the protests are an affront to veterans. Fans filed into stadiums across the country. Some saying this isnt about disrespect. Its about freedom. Its not a protest against the military. Its a protest about inequality in this country. Reporter others sided with the president. I understand the freedom of speech, but also this is the players jobs and ihop get to speak freely at my job all the time so they should have to follow the rules and respect our country and our flag. Reporter the protest not just limited to the football field. The First Major League baseball player also took a knee. The oakland as breus maxwell. Even Stevie Wonder calling for prayer for national unity. Act of defiance by so many now making the president s call to fire those who refuse to stand too costly. Even though Colin Kaepernick has been unfairly blacklisted, you cant do that to every activist player. They are too valuable to the businesses the owners operate. Thanks to Morgan Radford for that report.

President trump has issued a new executive order banning or restricting visas for travel from eight countries to the united states. It keeps the original travel ban restrictions which were due to expire on five of the original six countries, libya, somalia, syria, yemen and iran. It affects three more countries, venezuela, north korea, and the Central African nation of chad. Announcing the order, President Trump tweeted, making america safe is my number one priority. We will not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet. However, the executive director of the aclu criticized the order for banning muslims saying the original sin of targeting muslims cannot be cured by throwing other countries onto his enemys list. This morning the new travel restriction isnt the only policy President Trump is pushing. He said this about his much promised tax plan just before taking off for washington. We have a tax plan that is totally finalized. I think it will be terrific. I think its going to go through and its a very it will be the largest tax cut in the history of our country. I hope the corporate is going to be 15 but well see. In the plan, well see what happens, but i hope it is going to be 15 . But its going to be substantially lower so we bring jobs back into our country. This is a plan for the middle class and for companies so they can bring back jobs. The 15 Corporate Tax rate the president mentioned runs contrary to a plan being circulated by Republican Leaders which calls for a 20 tax rate for companies and on top 35 tax rate for individuals. The president said he would like that dropped to 10 . The plan, while still not finalized, is set to be unveiled over the next several days. And as the president looks ahead to taxes, hell first have to deal with the issue that continues to vex washington lawmakers, health care. As republicans make a last ditch effort to scrap obamacare with yet another revised bill being revealed this morning, with elite section by section of the bill showing sweeteners for the states of alaska and maine whose two leading senators have yet to make a decision on which way theyll vote. And with the clock ticking it is anyones guess if the bill will make it to the president s desk. We are hearing from the top Democrat Chuck schumer who said the leaked bill appears to, quote, add money for a select few states and it wont be scored by the cbo in time for a vote.

The north Korean Foreign minister implying over the weekend that a strike on the u. S. Was inevitable. President trump replied by pushing the rhetoric even higher. In a tweet he said, if he echoes thoughts of little rocket man, they wont be around much longer. Now, it is unclear at this point and unsettling for a lot of people. Theyre wondering how much of this is all talk because analysts agree if this is a strategy, it certainly is a dangerous one. The concern is miscalculation that there could be a misinterpretation on either side and the results of that could be devastating. You add in the show of military force that happened again at the weekend. U. S. Bombers and fighters flying close to the north korean coast. And thats unsettling for china.
