This week President Trump is expected to meet with members of the video game industry to discuss tackling gun violence. But gaming executives say they have yet to receive an invite. New York Magazine's Associate Editor of "Select All" Madison Malone Kircher explains Trump's flip-flopping on gun control reform. "The timeline here is interesting," says Kircher. "You see a flip flop based on whomever President Trump spoke to last." Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says Trump's meeting with gaming executives will be part of the administration's effort to combat gun violence. Kircher says studies have shown there is no real connection between violent video games and violent action.
