President Trump Meets With Parents Preventing School Shootings After Parkland - Video

President Trump Meets With Parents Preventing School Shootings After Parkland (From White House Press Pool email.) POTUS and VPOTUS entered the room at 4:19pm and started shaking hands with attendees all around the room before taking a seat. (please check quotes and id's against transcripts as everyone did not immediately id themselves fully) "We're going to be listening to some of your suggestions. We're going to be do something about this horrible [situation] going on. POTUS then requested that a prayer be said by the pastor. VPOTUS: I want to thank families... I ensure you of my deepest condolences and sympathies... I want to find out from all of you gathered here by listening... How we might ensure they this is the last time this ever happens. Tell us your stories ...on every level we're working on it. I encourage you to be candid, share with us. Just know that the president has already taken action. He has a meeting in this very room. We want to hear from you first. DeVos: for many of you it's raw and fresh. I admire your strength and bravery... No student, teacher should never endure what you all have. My heart is broken. We're here to have an earnest conversation. We're here to listen to gain your important perspective on ways to reduce violence and protect students. Trump: we're going to be very strong on background checks, very strong on the mental health. There are many ideas that I have, many ideas that other people have... It's not going to be talk as it has been. We're going to get it done. I want to thank you all for being here if you have any suggestions I'd like to have those ideas. Julia Cordover: I'm a survivor. I want you to emphasize the point that I survived. I was lucky enough to come home from school. It's very scary. And to know that a lot of people do not have the opportunity to be here still is mind blowing. I'm confident that we'll do the right thing. There's definitely a lot more to go but I'm just grateful to be here. No child no person will have to go through something glso horrific and tragic. Jonathan Blank: I was actually in the second classroom I was shot at. Nothing horrible should ever have to happen to you. You can't even think about it. It doesn't even seem real still. It seems fake. I don't even know what's going on. Carson Abt: I know that there are a little different solutions but one was about all the drills and protocols - through research I found only 32 states require drills.... I think a change that will increase all the training and protocol so if a shooting does happen, at least all the teachers will be prepared and keep students safe. Justin Gruber - I'm only 15 yrs old... I was born into a world where I never got to experience safety and peace. This has to never happen again. People need to feel like when they go to school they can be safe. Parents shouldn't have to go through the idea of losing their child. Cary Gruber: [My son was] texting me hiding in a closet, if something happens I love you. You can't imagine what's that like as a parent. 17 lives are gone. I was lucky enough to get my son home. It's not political. It's a human issue. People are dying and we have to do this. If he's not old enough to go buy a beer. He should not be able to buy a gun. It's just common sense. Andrew Pollack: She was murdered last week and she was taken from us. Shot 9 times on the 3rd floor. We as a country failed our children. I can't get on a plane with a bottle of water. But some animal can walk into a school and kill our children. Everyone has to come together... And figure out how we protect the schools. It's simple. It's not difficult. We protect airports, concerts, stadiums, embassies, the Department of Education that I walked in today that had a security guard in the elevator. I'm very angry because it happened. How many schools, how many children have to get shot? It stops here. I'm not going to sleep until it get stopped. My boys have to go through this. I'm pissed. My daughter I'm not going to see again. She's not here. It's not about gun laws right now. Let's fix the schools first. Let's get together work with the president and fix the schools. That's it. Huck Pollack : I just want to add its imperative to the safety of everyone to support to the free flow of ideas. Listen to radical opinions on both sides and that's how we'll find solutions. Censorship has got to stop. That's how we find the solutions, by listening to every oe and having an open mind . (Full transcript at Zennie62.com)

Oakland Raiders Mark Davis Tee Martin Comment Sounds Racist After NFL Rooney Rule Issue

Oakland Raiders Mark Davis Tee Martin Comment Sounds Racist After NFL Rooney Rule Issue - Video

Oakland Raiders Mark Davis Tee Martin Comment Sounds Racist After NFL Rooney Rule Issue Mark Davis needs to issue an appology to USC Offensive Coordinator Tee Martin if the Sports Illustrated report of what he said about the coach of the man who could be the first player picked in the 2018 NFL Draft are true. In an interview with Sports Illustrated's MMQB's S.L. Price, Davis is quoted as saying “To spend $20 million, and on top of that hire Tee Martin? No. What I would’ve done is probably brought in a president - somebody with X’s and O’s ability - to work with Jack, and I would’ve gotten some more competent coordinators,” is reponse to the question if he would have retained Jack Del Rio as Raiders Head Coach if Gruden wasn't available. Think about that. USC Quarterback Sam Darnold is that player said by some to be the best signal caller coming into the 2018 NFL Draft - Tee Marin coached him. Tee Martin was also the designated Rooney Rule interview selected by the Raiders during their search for a head coach. Even though Martin certainly knew that the Raiders Davis wanted Jon Gruden, he flew up to Oakland for the meeting anyway. For anyone who knows offensive football, what Tee Martin does in the use of line spacing in the running game is something to study. Maybe Mark Davis didn't get that memo? I have to say that what Davis said sounds racist. In other words, Davis might as well have blurted out “look, we just talked to Tee Martin because the NFL says we have to talk to a black guy before we get the white guy we want - Gruden. But hire Martin? Are you kidding me?” Wow. Davis' comment about Martin is sad because he's the same person who asked me to develop a new stadium plan for the Oakland Raiders. My long-time-friend Michael Silver, now of the NFL Network, was there to see it. To make a long story short, I developed a detailed financial plan for a combination stadium – hotel resort facility, then cold-called Piper Jaffrey Investment Banker's Managing Director Diane Paauwe, who in turn assembled a deal team to look at my spreadsheet and plan. They said it would work and wanted to move forward to talk with either the Raiders or the City of Oakland, or both. I called the Raiders and sent emails reporting the good news, and got no call back. And while there was an active Exclusive Negotiating Agreement at the time with another potential stadium developer, those talks were going nowhere. Moreover, the ENA did not expressly block the Raiders from listening to an idea as opposed to actually doing another deal with a new developer. The Raiders could have called Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and asked her to end the ENA so they could freely move freely in another direction. Then followed up with me and Piper Jaffrey – especially considering what Davis asked me to do that started all of this! Instead what I got was nothing except a constant impression that Davis is afraid to talk with me about anything, face to face. Fortunately that's not true for a number of other people on his staff, who shall remain nameless. But I could not help but wonder if Davis had some issue with me simply as a black man who is intelligent. I would constantly dismiss that idea, but after the Tee Martin comment, I am forced to think about that all over again. It reminds me of what Bell Hooks wrote in “We Real Cool: Black Men and Masculinity”: “Well-educated black men have learned to act as if they know nothing in a world where a smart black man risks punishment.” And that's because some consider us dangerous. Solving a stadum finacing problem, or coaching an NFL football team should not be considered undesirable for someone black to be able to do, male or female. I keep remembering that Davis asked me, to come up with a plan but maybe, in retrospect, he meant it as a joke, thinking I couldn't do anything. Surprise!
