The White House is fuming at the NRA for using the -- children in its latest -- but today President Obama has surrounded himself with other people's children for his gun control announcement so -- -- standing here or not we spoke with Fox News analyst Laura Ingram.
It's Arnett C a hit a cigarette OK today the president a press conference at the children behind him some wallpaper.
For children now so it's -- it's it's it's always quite a dramatic show when the president.
Austin's not put on -- choreographed moment and obviously these kids suffered enormously their parents brought them.
But.
-- announce something about involving children and a conversation about handguns and murder to me seems.
That's a tough one.
Well they have the White House is also upset with the NRA though while the White House used the children today onstage -- He -- they're upset with the NRA the NRA has a has a new ad out now which they talk about the president's children -- -- this school.
And -- Jay Carney said that it was repugnant and cowardly.
What the NRA did say most Americans agree that -- presence showed should not be used as pawns.
In a political -- you Obama's views views references to their own children when it came to.
The BP oil spill when it came to health care -- referred to our daughters illnesses.
When we're talking about anti obesity bush and Michelle talked about her -- BM lining to high.
I think the problem is this is the president from the beginning.
Have a lot of -- I'm goal I think of keeping kids out of politics doesn't laudable goal I think it's a worthy goal I think -- right about that.
Problem is a president when his backup was up against the wall Greta on issue after issue.
You lose some references to his own children and then as so many other politicians do.
-- children period and he did that today so the NRA's point is about it's it's about a double standard right if the Obama daughters get protection of course they should get production will know they get -- that's not that's not revealing any sensitive information.
But why shouldn't other families.
Get the same type of protection for their children not Secret Service people but.
On gun protection or self defense I think that's the point they were trying to -- any of your spending presidents four Republicans Democrats -- been using -- these are photo ops emanate as people for -- is it that their children because I've seen present stand up and soldiers and injured soldiers and -- all of the children and injured so the soldiers.
An ambush that probably don't know as well let's say it's something about pushing legislation now -- implication Marco Rubio made this point on my radio show today.
The implication of all this is if you don't sign -- of the president's proposals.
You somehow are not treating these children were standing behind him with due respect that's what I find offensive that's implicit message here is -- These children are with me are you against the children and that's -- I think I was a -- I think he's originally right when he says kids really shouldn't be part.
All the political discussion -- you know -- kids ought to let.
Little gun control debate has really fired up everybody but the -- said today I'm quoting correctly that.
That anyone who disagrees a new gun law opponents want to gin up fear or higher ratings.
Or revenue -- is there room for -- -- disagree with the president -- even leg and -- is -- -- like some of the things he did but not all of them is -- room with this president.
Well I don't who lost final thanks so -- he talked about the Republican friendly media the other day obviously he's talking about talk radio and and maybe fox and other -- web web sites.
This is what he routinely does rather than have a real conversation and say -- I think a lot of complicated issues involved here may be part guns may be part of Hollywood may be part breakdown of the -- -- let's have a national conversation about -- instead it's my opponents.
Don't care about these four children -- suffering its.
They are not reading these letters I'm reading they don't really care and in fact it's all about their ratings well.
Google believe in the Second Amendment dearly they happen to have heartfelt views maybe you disagree so then that's his right.
They shouldn't be demonized pac ten and one thing that I was -- -- today.
I really don't want another study on this I mean if there's another study that I had a million dollars -- -- -- if people don't know this is a serious pro I don't know what more they had to do -- I just pick up the newspaper and see all the death and destruction I support -- children.
In new event and also the new town and also -- -- were killed and their families who now suffer from the cost sites aren't playing why -- study proud because it's it looks like we're doing something we keep hearing we got to do something.
We've got to do something.
-- I don't even there are limits to what you can -- frankly there are limits and localities and school districts they're taking.
Their own problems and they're examining what the best not passes for their safety and their children.
And their students I think for the most part this is a state by state issue.
And the president wants you know everywhere -- won't look he cares he's doing something.
And I think in the end -- like this the Centers for Disease Control study on all the different gun bans really.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- If they're implement and that's an initial estimate.
For the implementation of some of -- -- 5% Greta wire something in that one of the Hollywood organization said enough and I about how.
They're they're ready to have a conversation I thought to myself I don't want more conversations Patti -- let's say you start looking at yourself and see if you really satisfied without any knowingly putting out right democratic end and I think politicians and very wealthy people all around this country and the elites and Hollywood.
They have the entire security -- for an apparatus and security for surrounding them.
The regular people of this country deserve to be -- that.
Protect themselves and not be demonized if they disagree with some of the president's proposals I -- -- -- doesn't radio show it's fun I'd like to announce grand a year year not to from all right -- Greta wire all the time mostly about yes stuff they don't.
And that -- that contact that you produce I think is so important and especially for women entrepreneurs.
Owning your own stuff is really great -- an -- for digital which I think this.
Really important along with terrestrial radio it's related the wave of the future and people can listen the -- -- -- -- wanted to local regulations anti -- makes it.
