Madison Malone Kircher, Associate Editor at New York Mag's Select All, discusses President Trump's meeting with the video gaming industry. The meeting included three Congressman, including Florida's Marco Rubio and several gaming executives. We discuss whether President Trump's recent rhetoric around violence and video games is a way for him to avoid comprehensive gun reform. We dig into the video gaming industry and the ratings they place on games and whether they are doing enough to keep dangerous games out of the hands of small children. Will this meeting result in a reduction of violence in video games? That remains to be seen.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
