## Transcript

Donald Trump goes on Fox News Sunday and talks about the NRA meeting he had and gun control, etc. And seemingly, twice in the same comment, flip flops on his positions. So let's listen to it and I wanna ask you about it afterwards. I don't want to have guns in classrooms. Although, in some cases, teachers should have guns in classrooms, frankly, because the things that are going on in our schools are unbelievable. You look at some of our schools. It's unbelievable what's going. I'm not advocating guns in classrooms, but remember in some cases. A lot of people have made this case. Teachers should be able to have guns, trained teachers should be able to have guns in classrooms.
