Good morning, thank you again for giving me the opportunity to express myself cspan is the only media that i trust where American People can express themselves. When it comes to the question, i am very saddened. I wasnt born in this country. I became a citizen and i believe in the american dream. I believe in the first amendment. Im saying that since donald trump has been elected, the left therecompletely become the new mustek terrorism. The media is not denouncing it. They are boycotting all the products. This is not a good way to express themselves. The democrats should remember in four years there will be election. I am an independent. That is my comment. Thank you, cspan. Host mike in white house, ohio. Caller thanks for taking my call. I wanted to bring a point of that if somebody had done this to michelle over barack obama or their family, the outrage would be immense from all over the country. Wanted to get your guys thoughts. Host what do you think of the efforts to target the brands going after the president and his family in that way back up in that way . Jeffrey, good morning. Caller good morning. I have a comment. Son. 65 still work her i voted democrat my entire life, but this is the reason i have left the party. It is a bunch of demobullies. I am ashamed of it. My party needs to come back home. Host what do you think of the president s response to this . Do you think he should be tweeting about it . What your that is objective is is to get a reaction from our president , i am more concerned if we get some jobs going. This divisiveness, it trickles down to our kids. It is all about, they are no good, they hate you. We are on your side. Look what you people have done in the last eight years. There is not a country out there that we have a better relationship it goes on and on. Failure, failure, failure. Host pamela is up next, line for democrats. Caller good morning. It is funny, the guy from ohio who just spoke. It is funny that republicans are partyed to have be the that likes freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and all of that type of thing, but when democrats do it, it is a problem. When nordstrom and other stores do it, is a problem. President trump, he has the daughtersay, well, his by her products. It, theocrats do companies do it, it is a problem. I dont understand it. Goal what do you think the of this boycott effort is . Caller i am not really sure walletat grab your campaign. I guess they dont agree with his policies. As far as the stores, the bottom line is the online. If you are losing money, you are losing money. They are going to go with what is good for keeping them in the black. Host nordstrom last week saying the companys decision to pull the products was based on the products performance, not politics. Here is a quote. Belk another one of those companies that stopped selling ivanka trump Brand Products says rob is in delaware. Good morning. Caller yes, what does it matter whether products are being sold . Shouldnt he be running the country . He is the president and you are worried about products. If they are good enough, they will be sold. Host do you think it was right to bring it up on his twitter page. Caller i think he should be running the country. All he does is worry about all this stuff. Worry about the country. Host the president s response, the subject of some outlets, political cartoonists, saturday night live. To tank drivers reading a dispatch from cincom regarding orders from the president commanding them to withdraw from korea and redeployed to nordstrom. Live,n saturday night lampooning of sean spicer from the podium and this issue came up. Heres the clip. [video clip] and there is the terrorism this week when nordstroms decided [laughter] [applause] clothingive line of and accessories. These are high quality products. In fact, i am wearing one of her bangles. It is beautiful, shimmery, 39. 99. And unbelievably affordable. Dont even get me started on her shoes. [laughter] [cheering] host that from saturday night live this past weekend and we are asking you your thoughts from retailers that dropped trump Branded Products and the Wider Campaign by some groups online to boycott specifically trump family Branded Products. Lets go to Darrell Darnell in kansas. I am all for what they retailers are doing. There are consequences for what a businessman says or does, and he was a voted in because he was a smart businessman, it doesnt seem so smart now. The consumers are voting with their wallets and the retailers, they are business people, they have to go the way of their consumers. I hope it continues. Host what is the point . To send a message of displeasure . Caller absolutely. He is making a mockery of america. We are on a decline. Again, the retailers, they are smart. Trump, he said he is a smart businessman, but it doesnt seem like it is going that way right now. Host jim, spartanburg, south carolina. Caller good morning. I want to say that when the lady solely for political reason. Yet when a bakery refuses to make a gay wedding cake for religious reasons, they dont have that right according to liberals. Do you see the hypocrisy . It goes beyond nordstrom. He goes across the whole spectrum of issues. They want to bar people from shopping at certain places. Yet a gay person a bakery cannot have free will to do what they want to do with their product. I think it is pretty incredible a lot of hypocrisy out there. Host stephanie is in montclair, new jersey. Caller i want to say donald trump should not be tweeting about his daughter pictures a big girl, ok . January. Done in evocative has known about this since january. Just Ivanka Ivanka has known about this since january. Host does the timing make a difference . Caller no, it doesnt make a difference. Ivanka did not say anything about it. Sinces known about it january. But it wasrted then, like, this is what happened. The newscasters went on something else. To donald trump feels he has seek out speak out about his daughter. An article in usa todays money section that President Trump finished a distant third among norstrom workers who made individual campaign conjugations campaign contributions. Hillary clinton of course took first place receiving 38,000 from 60 donors whose employer was identified as nordstrom. Senator Bernie Sanders took second place. Donald trump, 2500 from 17 nordstrom donors according to the data. The employees joined Eric Nordstrom who gave a donation to Hillary ClintonsCampaign Last year. Brian is in northeast in washington. Good morning. Caller good morning, cspan. I was calling to say i do support the retailers act of dumping trump in the way that its his right at home just like in indiana with mike pence proposals with the state what the state in the bind. The professional sports, college sports, big economic drivers spoke and the end them people listened and the indiana people listened. Just like we talked about the nfl boycotting texas. Actions do make a difference. All the wayproven from indiana to our super bowl, and now i am going to to kmart or sears and purchase my Valentines Gift for my loved ones. Thanks for a great show. Host did you get a chance to listen to the caller earlier that said this is hypocritical, because some of these same groups might criticize a baker for religious reasons do not want to make a cake for a gay wedding . Call, butmissed the with your comment. That is why we are americans and we have a choice to support the ideas that we believe in. Whether it is through a letter or me talking to you over the purchasing,tive they are sign of what we believe in and what we want ever country to strive for. Donald trump said that he was electronically communications and go to a handwritten letter with a courier. Havent seen it done yet. Im listening to a senator from virginia say that they have voter fraud good grief and i am in Washington State p we mail in our ballots. I agree with the president , signed it on a piece of paper, have it handdelivered, whether it is a post office or courier. Things are going to be 100 no fraud. I really appreciate your show. I think there is no h ypocriticism involved here if people have different views and act according to support those views and idea. Host on twitter the wall street journal story from over the weekend about these issues, talks about ivanka trump took a leave of absence from her familys company and her own brand when her family was sworn in as 44th 45th resident last month 45th president last month. The New York Times with the frontpage story today talking about Donald Trumps two oldest sons and their work to guide the Trump Organization since they began taking over that, piloting an empire through a tempest. If you want to read that story, it is in todays New York Times. Catherine is in massachusetts. Line for republicans. Good morning. Caller i think it is very hypocritical and i think people go and google obamas birth certificate. This man was a total farce. He is not a legitimate president. Everything that he has done for this country, given money to iran, just before he left office, he gave billions of dollars to iran and these people they love obama. They hate trump. Trump worked his tail off for this country. Why dont they see what obama has done to this country and how they are using a boarded baby cells in the foods that we eat. They should check out what obama has done for this country. Host lets go to eric, washington, dc. Caller good morning. I have a couple of things. People like that call. What i find about cspan, they are not correcting people when they make false statements. About that birth thing. They are telling me. They are killing me. They dropped them lines because it is not making money. , now all of a sudden the republicans want to go clean by yacht, they want us all to come together. When president obama was going was there, people were going around the guns, the patriots. Now when we decide want to protest, there is a problem p it where thugs, hoodlums. Be strong, democrats. Eventually everything will come. It is amazing to me that you are not stopping people when they make these false statements. That is not right. Host you got your chance after the caller before. Lets go to jamie and seven, maryland. Caller i want to say that i love what is going on with the retailers and them paying attention to the customers. It is still supply and demand. The customers are not happy, then they dropped the product. Independent. I am i want to say as far as the far right goes, they remind me of the mom of the child that bullies all the kids at the playground. While there child is in the leg around throwing rocks, they turned their backs, the act like they see nothing is going on and they ignore it. Soon as someone stands up to recruit their child, then they they want to rally against him. Trump, he created his situation. Trump was a bully. People. He spoke about people,he speaks about whether it is arrogant, the words he chooses. People chose to ignore that. They try to say he is been sarcastic. He doesnt mean that. As soon as somebody fights back or people exercise whatever they can do, whether it is not supporting retailers that carry his product or his last name, then they have an issue. , even want to say political satire, people are so the fact ofp the matter is not long ago, you remember in paris when a lot of people had problems with the political satire there when it came to them joking about muslims and the cartoons in these kinds of things. They said, no, it is freedom of speech. Why is this an issue because snl to maketo continue jokes about trump . It is comedy. A lot of times, comedy doesnt urge people to get more indepth with things. People who would not normally be in politics. Marylandie in several,. Donald trump speaking to defend his daughter and also some of those within the white house taking to the airways to defend amaga trump. Kellyanne conway raised a lot of eyebrows for comments she made about ivanka trumps brand. Here is that statement she made. I do find it ironic that you have got some executives all over the internet bragging about what they have done to her and her line, and yet they are using the most prominent woman in Donald Trumps they are using him. O get to stuff ivankas stuff. There is that , grab your wallet. Is that behind the stuff . We know where that came from. That is been a huge failure. They had a whole election. She had no message, no positive message. That failed. They had a margin saying the same thing the day after he was sworn in. They are welcomed to march. But what is coming of it in terms of commercial interest . This is the test this is a wonderful line this is a wonderful line. Go buy it, everybody. Saying latericer that Kellyanne Conway have been counseled about those statements on fox and friends it also, this story coming late last week. Jason chaffetz and Elijah Cummings say Kellyanne Conway appeared to violate ethics laws. The two heads of the Government Oversight Reform Committee sending that letter last week. Want to get more of your calls this morning. Were asking about retailers that dropped trump Branded Products. Phone numbers again. Also want to tell you some of the other news some of the agenda on capitol hill this week. Mnuchin poised to secure confirmation is the headline in the wall street journal. Senate is expected to confirm Steve Mnuchin as soon as tonight. The story noting that his confirmation has faced the delays of the lace of and he appears to went confirmation with a historically weak margin. Confirmed, he is will be six more trump cabinet picks. Interior secretary brian thank you brian zinkie. That is some of the confirmation hearings scheduled covering all of the confirmation votes here on cspan. One other story today happened today at the white house. Justin trudeau is set to hold his first talk with donald trump facetoface here in washington d c p or he will be at the white house today. Story noting the age difference between the two men. Mr. Trudeau, 45. Mr. Trump, 70. We will be talking more about that visit happened today later in our program, talking with a reporter who is traveling with the canadian Prime Minister today. Back to your calls. Jefferson city, missouri. Republicans. Your thoughts on these retailers . Caller i think it is a bold. Bull. Trump signed everything over to his kids to take anything away so he aint on their. There is no ethics problem. The same with his daughter. It aint the consumer going out and buy it is the liberal ceos that want to put everything up and the lies and make it something that it is not. This is crazy. Obama got in there and we showed up and let the guy have a chance. And gave him eight years. We trump cannot even get his cabinet in their to fix the screwup. I dont see any of those democrats out there giving up their government check when they get into office. Trump is giving his money over to the treasury to get this country out of the mess the democrats have gotten it into. When are these people going to open their eyes up . The only reason people are working in the last eight years of the ones that the democrats to cause mayhem in this country. Otherwise everybody that is hardworking in this country, give up working or work to a three jobs to make ends meet. Give trump a chance. This is crazy. Host you mentioned reactions from ceos. Some ceos with kind things to say including the story that was in business insider. Kevin plank of under armour not holding back his praise in an interview with cnbcs report. Donald is waiting. Live from democrats. Caller i am sitting here listening to all of these people calling in. They keep talking about trump and them. This man do these people realize and understand that we have a congress, senate. Trump must go through in order to create all of these things he is going to do . I sat there and told my wife a morning, i said, you should not vote because i see you sitting here. Some of these people say some of the craziest things. Cspan, you are almost becoming a part of the media. You let people call in and say thanks and i see other times you correct people. Other times why you let some of these people go on and on and we already know where they got the information from. Some people say some of the dumbest things. Host what do you think about the retailers question yucca caller question . Caller it is about business decisions. These people are losing money. I dont know if their leftwing or rightwing. These people are losing money. That is what it is based upon, losing money. What are they going to do . Pull it from the shelf if it is not selling. All these people [indiscernible] refusing gay people, that is a whole different story. That is discrimination. That wasnt about losing money. That was based upon discrimination. That was discrimination. This
