• National Cannabis Industry Association Statement on Press Secretary’s Comments Regarding Trump Administration Marijuana Policy. Washington, DC – National Cannabis Industry Association executive director Aaron Smith issued the following statement in response to Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s comments regarding the Trump Administration’s marijuana policy in the press briefing today: “It would be a mistake for the Department of Justice to overthrow the will of the voters and state governments who have created carefully regulated adult-use marijuana programs. It would represent a rejection of the values of economic growth, limited government, and respect for federalism that Republicans claim to embrace. “These programs are working. Marijuana interdictions at the Mexican border are down substantially, youth use has not increased in states with legal access to cannabis, and responsible cannabis businesses are contributing tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact to their communities.

7am – B/C     INTERVIEW —  DR ZUHDI JASSER – (ZOO-dee JASS-er) – author of “A Battle for the Soul of Islam: An American Muslim Patriot’s Fight to Save his Faith”, President of American Islamic Forum for Democracy and Co-Founder, Muslim Reform Movement and a former Lt. Commander in the US Navy – discussed his upcoming panel at CPAC on the direction of the Trump administration’s foreign policy.

7am – D         INTERVIEW – AMB. JOHN BOLTON – former UN Ambassador and founder of the JOHN BOLTON PAC and SUPER PAC – discussed the direction of President Trump’s foreign policy.

7am – E         Trump’s open-door Oval Office. The new White House staff may have more access to the president than any in modern history. (Politico) – When Omarosa Manigault, the former “Celebrity Apprentice” antihero-turned-White House adviser, needs to talk to President Donald Trump, she simply strolls into the Oval Office. As assistant to the president and director of communications for the office of public liaison, Manigault enjoys what Trump aides refer to as walk-in privileges — meaning she doesn’t need an appointment or permission to pop her head in and consult with the leader of the free world. Her level of easy access marks a break from the previous administration, where President Barack Obama and his gatekeeper chiefs of staff kept at bay the number of aides, even senior officials, who simply walked in without an appointment. In contrast, Trump may have set up the most accessible Oval Office in modern history. Along with Manigault, White House officials say, the list of aides with walk-in privileges includes chief strategist Steve Bannon, senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, chief of staff Reince Priebus, son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, and counselor Kellyanne Conway. White House counsel Don McGahn has walk-in rights, as does senior communications aide Hope Hicks, and Keith Schiller, Trump’s longtime private security aide who followed him to the White House. Trump’s new national security adviser, Gen. H.R. McMaster, is also expected to be added to the informal list, according to a White House official.
