Scoot Show 210pm Donald TrumpOn today’s show: A new Fox News poll shows that Hillary now leads Trump in the general election by 10 points: 49% - 39% -The Fox News poll reflects a current trend that has Trump losing support. The controversy over Trump being attacked by Khizar Khan and Trump’s response is still alive. In fact, now the debate is over the debate about what Khan did and what Trump did. The core of the controversy seemed to center on Mr. Khan’s challenge that Trump has never made any sacrifices. Coming from the father of a US soldier killed in action sets the tone for the definition of the word “sacrifice” in that context. Trump’s response was the he has sacrificed too. He has worked hard and created thousands and thousands of jobs. All of that is true – but was it fair to compare that sacrifice to the sacrifice of losing a child who was defending America? Retired 4-star admiral John Nathman joined the military personnel condemning Trump. Newt Gingrich condemned Trump – so did Chris Christie – and there are more. PLUS: Another tragic ending to a child finding and playing with a gun in a home. Louisiana is “Sportsman Paradise” were there guns in the house where you grew up? If so, did you have access to them as a kid? Were you taught to respect them or fear them? What has changed with the current generation? AND: Is today’s entertainment to blame or is it just that parents don’t know how to talk to kids about guns?
