THERE IS A NEW TWIST TO THE STORY INVOLVING RETAILERS
WHO REFUSED OR AT LEAST DECIDED TO STOP CARRYING IVANKA
TRUMPíS BRAND.
APPARENTLY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FEELS THAT EVEN
THOUGH RETAILERS LIKE NORDSTROM DECIDED TO STOP CARRYING IVANKA
TRUMP BECAUSE OF LAGGING SALES, IT REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO
WITH FINANCIAL REASONS, IT HAD TO DO WITH POLITICAL REASONS.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIRTY HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES.
AGAIN, THESE RETAILERS HAVE DOUBLED DOWN AND SAID NO,
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICAL REASONS.
LOOK AT THE SALES.
THEY SUCK.
BUT KELLYANNE CONWAY NONETHELESS WENT ON FOX NEWS AND
DECIDED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
FOX AND FRIENDS TO BE SPECIFIC.
HERE SHE IS, SPEAKING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING ROOM.
I DO FIND IT IRONIC.
YOU'VE GOT SOME EXECUTIVES ALL
OVER THE INTERNET BRAGGING ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO HER AND HER
LINE AND YET THEY ARE USING THE MOST PROMINENT WOMAN IN DONALD
TRUMP'S, SHE IS HIS DAUGHTER, THEY'RE USING HER WHO'S BEEN
A CHAMPION FOR WOMEN IN POWER IN THE WORKPLACE TO GET TO HIM.
I THINK PEOPLE CAN SEE THROUGH THAT.
BUY IVANKAíS STUFF I WOULD TELL YOU.
I HATE SHOPPING,
I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME ON MYSELF TODAY.
SHE IS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A WOMAN WHO FIGHTS FOR
WOMEN'S RIGHTS OR WHATEVER.
I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO STRATEGICALLY PLACE HER THAT
POSITION SO THEY CAN APPEAL TO MORE FEMALE VOTERS WHICH BY THE
WAY, WORKED WITH A LOT OF WHITE VOTERS WHO ENDED UP VOTING FOR
TRUMP BUT AGAIN, THE NOTION OF HER BEING THE OPINION ME OF
FEMALE EMPOWERMENT IS KIND OF OVERSTATED BUT LET'S GET TO
THE TOPIC AT HAND.
SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SHOULD GO OUT THERE AND BUY
A VODKA TRUMPS STUFF.
THAT WAS AN AD FOR IVANKA TRUMPíS BRAND.
YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
THERE ARE ACTUALLY RULES AGAINST IT.
YEAH, IT SOUNDS BAD BUT SHE DIDN'T SAY THE WORD
COMMERCIAL OR ANYTHING.
IT'S INSANE.
I'M JOKING.
IT LOOKS BAD.
IT IS BAD.
ITíS TERRIBLE, IN FACT, THERE NOW REPUBLICANS
TEACH SPEAKING OUT AGAINST ABBOTT OAKS BEGETS THAT A
SECOND THAT SHE SAYS I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A PRECOMMERCIAL
HERE, GO BUY IT TODAY.
IN THE SAME SEGMENT.
SHE CALLS IN A COMMERCIAL.
AGAIN, THERE ARE RULES AGAINST THAT AND REPUBLICAN
REPRESENTATIVE JASON CHAFF IT'S WAS BOTHERED BY THIS TO SAY
THE LEAST.
THE WHITE HOUSE RELEASED A STATEMENT INDICATING THAT
THEY HAVE SINCE COUNSELED KELLYANNE CONWAY ON WHAT
SHE SAID AND HOW IT IS INAPPROPRIATE BUT JASON CHAPMAN'S,
HAS GIVEN CREDIT, HE CHAIRS A HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
HE SAYS THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.
I AM NOT HERE TO THE BIDDING OF THE PRESIDENT, I AM HERE TO
CALL HIM OUT WHEN HE DOES SOMETHING WRONG AND IN THIS
CASE, KELLYANNE CONWAY HAS DONE SOMETHING WRONG.
I LOVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK AND THIS SOME
REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO ARE NOT JUST SITTING BACK AND LETTING
BAD BEHAVIOR GO UNCHECKED BUT IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE AGAIN THAT
WE HAVE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT
IS AND ISN'T ALLOWED WHEN YOU ARE IN THIS POSITION OF POWER.
SHE IS CERTAINLY NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
THE PROBLEM IS IF SHE IS BOOSTING A VODKA'S PRODUCTS
BY TALKING ABOUT THEM AND THOSE WAY THEN TRUMP IS TO
BECAUSE HE TWEETED ABOUT IT.
I WAS TOLD AND I TRUSTED TRUMP ADVISOR WHO SAID HE IS
GOING TO BE SEPARATE FROM HIS FAMILY'S BUSINESSES.
IN FACT, HE IS NOT EVEN GOING TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN THEM
BUT HE KNEW ABOUT NORDSTROM DROPPING A BOND COULD TRUMP
PROVIDED AND WAS IMMEDIATELY ON THE JOB TRYING TO GET HER
PRODUCTS BUT BACK IN THE STORIES THAT WEIRD HOW THAT WORKS OUT.
IT'S STRANGE TO ME THAT THIS MAN WHO BELIEVES THAT THERE
IS TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT AND TOO MUCH
REGULATION IN BUSINESSES IS NOW BULLYING BUSINESSES THAT
DON'T WANT TO CARRY HIS DAUGHTER'S BRAND.
HE BELIEVES ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH HIM, HE TAKES
EVERYTHING PERSONALLY.
HE'S A CRAZY PARANOID PERSON.
BUT ALSO SEAN SPICER SAID IT'S UNEXCEPTIONAL FOR HER
TO DROP HER BRAND.
THESE ARE STRONG CAPITALISTS TO BELIEVE IT PEOPLE SHOULD
BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT UNLESS THEY MAKE THE
DECISION TO DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES WITH SOME AS
PRODUCTS IN WHICH CASE THEY SHOULD BE LAMBASTED AND
TOLD IT IS UNEXCEPTIONAL TO MAKE THAT DECISION.
THIS IS INSANE.
REALLY FAST AND WE DON'T HAVE TIME BUT IF YOU THINK WE'RE
FOCUSING TOO MUCH ON THIS AND THAT IT IS A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST SURE BUT IT IS JUST A VODKA TRUMP, WE TALKED YESTERDAY
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IS GOING TO SPEND BETWEEN
ONE AND $3 MILLION RINSING OUT SPACE AND TRUMP TOWER.
NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PROVIDED YET THAT THAT WIND UP IN TRUMPS
POCKETS AND ALSO ERIC TRUMBLE WENT ON $100,000 TAXPAYER PAID
FOR VACATION TO REPRESENT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION.NET IS A
MEMBER OF GOVERNMENT BUT BECAUSE SECRET SERVICE NEEDED TO BE
SENT, YOU JUST BEEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SEND
HIM THERE FOR BUSINESS DEALS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE SMALLER EXAMPLES OF THE CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST AT PLAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE BUT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT
THIS ISOLATED STORY, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT A VODKA TRUNK IT'S
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH POLICY DECISIONS AND WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH OUR TAXPAYER MONEY AND SO YOU HIGHLIGHTED A
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE SECRET SERVICE INSECURITY THAT WE WILL
PAY FOR SO TRUMPS SON CAN GO ON THIS BUSINESS TRIP BUT ALSO KEEP
IN MIND WHEN IT COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY, DONALD TRUMP IS PICKING
AND CHOOSING WHICH MUSLIM COUNTRIES HE LIKES AND DISLIKES
BASED ON WHICH COUNTRIES HE HAS BUSINESS TIES TO.
AGAIN, DURING THE ELECTION HE REGISTERED EIGHT BUSINESSES
IN SAUDI ARABIA WHICH IS WHY SAUDI ARABIA IS NOT
INCLUDED IN THE TRAVEL BAN.
WEIRD, IT'S NOT LIKE EXTREMISM DOESN'T EXIST IN SAUDI ARABIA.
THAT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
IS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND SO WHEN MEMBERS OF THE
MEDIA MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT, IT WAS NOT A BECAUSE WE
JUST DISLIKE TRUMP WE WANT TO GIVE MORE TIME, IT'S BECAUSE
IT'S SOMETHING THAT AMERICANS TO GENERALLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
A PRESIDENT SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, NOT
HIS BUSINESS INTERESTS.
HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO USE HIS ROLE OF LEADERSHIP TO
PROFIT HANDSOMELY FROM ALL OF HIS DIFFERENT BUSINESSES
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
THINK ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY HE OWES IN THE FORM OF
LOANS TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
AND IN THIS COUNTRY, IS HE GOING TO REGULATE THEM?
IS HE GOING TO MAYBE DO FAVORS FOR THEM IN ORDER TO STRIKE
BETTER DEALS FOR HIS LOANS?
COME ON, LET'S JUST KEEP IT REAL AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS
IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW AND THE VERY CLEAR VIOLATIONS.
AGREED.
ALSO, IF YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FAKE NEWS,
BREITBART HAD REPORTED THAT AS A RESULT OF NORDSTROM
DROPPING A VODKA TRUMPS LABEL, STOCK FOR THE COMPANY
PLUMMETED AND THAT IS NOT TRUE.
IN FACT, THE SAME DAY THAT THIS BECAME A BIG STORY, THE SAME
DAY THAT DONALD TRUMP DECIDED TO TWEET TO NORDSTROM AND
BULLY THEM FOR NOT CARING THE BRANDS, STOCK ACTUALLY WENT UP.
IT BEGAN WEDNESDAY AT $42.78 PER SHARE AND BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
IT WAS TRADING AT $44.53 $1.75 HIGHER, AND A GAIN OF 4.09%.
THAT IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
I ALSO CHECKED TODAY IN STOCK ACTUALLY INCREASED EVEN FURTHER.
NORDSTROM IS DOING FINE, TODAY AT ABOUT 12
NOON PACIFIC TIME THE NUMBER WAS AT $45.59.
AND FURTHER, BREITBART'S ORIGINAL HEADLINE ABOUT
THEM DROPPING IT WAS NORDSTROM JOBS OF ALL GOOD TRUMPS
PRODUCTS FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
THEY PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE SAYING IT DOESN'T SELL SO
WE'RE GETTING RID OF IT, TRUMP SAYS IT'S FOR POLITICAL
REASONS, IF YOU ONLY GET YOUR NEWS FROM BREITBART, THEY
JUST TOLD TELL YOU WHATEVER THE PRESIDENT SAYS, THEY DON'T
ACTUALLY LOOK INTO IT.
YOU COULD EVEN SAY HYPOTHETICALLY THAT THEY
DON'T TRUST NORDSTROM.
OKAY THEN DO WHAT CNN DOES, THIS IS WHAT NORDSTROM SAYS THIS
IS WHAT CNN SAYS.
YOU ONLY GET ONE SIDE OF THAT IF YOU GO TO BRIBER NUISANCE I
FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.
