President Trump speak at The American Farm Bureau Convention
President Trump spoke in Nashville on Tuesday at The American Farm Bureau Convention. This is the first time we have heard from the President since the release of White House tell-all "Fire and Fury." Washington Examiner media reporter Eddie Scarry, weighs in as Trump made comments.
Scarry says the President enjoys doing thing speeches, where he has something to tout, like the recent passage of tax reform.
With the book "Fire and Fury" dominated the headlines over the weekend, Scarry says he takes issue with President Trump being called unfit, "We see him just about everyday on television." He adds "I think we would have seen a stronger sign or more evidence that he was mentally incapacitated."

After a devastating mass shooting in Sacramento over the weekend that killed six people and wounded a dozen more, arguments about gun reform are also resurfacing. David Pucino, deputy chief counsel at Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, joined Cheddar News to talk about efforts to curb gun violence such as community intervention programs — and the more that needs to be done by lawmakers. "One thing that would be really important is at the federal level closing the loopholes that allow for private sales to go forward without a background check," he noted.
