that's me speaking. >> reporter: president trump defending the way he handled charlottesville, where he seemed to equate self-proclaimed nazis to protesters. >> then i said racism is evil. did they report that i said that racism is evil? you know why? because they are very dishonest people. >> reporter: instead, lashing out at the press, despite criticism from members of his own party. he also renewed his push to repeal obamacare and hinted at a pardon of joe arpaio, who was convicted of criminal contempt for defying a federal judge's order to stop racial profiling in his roundups of immigrants. >>i think he's going to be just fine, okay? but i won't do it tonight, because i don't want to cause any controversy, is that okay? >> reporter: after the rally, supporters and protesters coming face-to-face. at one point demonstrations
3:04 am
turning violent. >> started getting shot out by rubber bullets and pepper spray. >> reporter: the president ignores a call to cancel the rally. because emotions are still raw after charlottesville. saying trump doused the violence with gasoline. >> the president blew it after charlottesville, i mean, it was really a failure of moral leadership. >> reporter: again, things turning violent after the rally ended, with police saying people were throwing rocks and bottles at them and they had to respond with tear gas and pepper spray, that crowd dispersing the police just removing the last of the protesters. >> the president was talking about the crowd, saying there weren't that many outside. i saw photos where it appeared there were people on top of garages, all over the place before it turned violent. what was it like? >> reporter: yes, there were plenty of people outside. so i'm not sure what the president is referring to. now granted, there were plenty of trump supporters also
3:05 am
standing outside surround being the convention center, waiting to go inside. but if you walk just a couple blocks away from the convention center, that's where you saw hundreds, maybe thousands of protesters standing outside, of course, coming face-to-face, having verbal altercations with some of the trump supporters. >> danya, the police were obviously worried. what seemed to be the trigger point that turned this from a peaceful protest into a violent one? and i just wonder, what was it like from your vantage point? >> reporter: you know, that is a good question, we were pretty far. for our safety, we were pretty far from the crowds here, but it seemed everything was peaceful. you did hear chanting while the rally was going on. but it was after the trump supporters started coming out of the rally, that's when things turned violent.
3:06 am
now i must say during the day, the tension was definitely there between trump supporters and those protesters. but you didn't think that it was going to turn violent. you know, they were exchanging words. we heard there were some minor scuffles, but nothing too major. i do believe it was after that rally when people started coming out, probably a little fired up, maybe from the president's speech that they came out, and words were exchanged between protesters and things became violent. >> it kind of turned, but it does appear as if calm has returned to the streets of phoenix where the president is spending the night. danya, thank you. we're going to turn to the relationship with mitch mcconnell. it is reportedly on extremely shaky ground. according to the "new york times," the two haven't spoken to each other in weeks and it says mcconnell has privately shown uncertainty that the president will be able to save his presidency. they refer to a phone call that turned into a profane shouting match when mcconnell accused the president of bungling the obamacare repeal debate. and there's no official word

3:32 am
the demonstrators that are left over. but earlier tonight there were thousands of demonstrators out here, and they had pretty much surrounded the convention center where the president was speaking. the police had a very good plan in place. they were able to separate the protesters from the trump supporters. right at the end, the trump supporters were coming out and demonstrators were able to get in their faces. there were some screaming matches, but we didn't witness any violence.nd, as police were trying to force everyone out, they did use tear gas. the police had gas masks and shields and they pretty much marched the rest of the demonstrators out of downtown phoenix. >> our thanks to tom llamas there. >> a busy night overnight there. there were no reports of injuries and only three arrests. inside the phoenix convention center, the president spoke for nearly 90 minutes. >> he started by going after the media. the president read excerpts of his statements about white supremacists. >> and he said the press had twisted what he said.
3:33 am

how much of this speech was about charlottesville and the media coverage? >> reporter: you know, it seemed like the president spent at least the first 20 to 30 minutes talking about media coverage, also defending the way he handled and his response to charlottesville, maintaining that he condemned what happened there multiple times. you guys just heard it in that spot that we played, that he basically said that he reread that initial response a couple times. he spent a good time blaming us, the media, saying it was the way we reported it that made it seem like he didn't handle it correctly. he called out cnn, abc and the "new york times" by name. and as you guys mentioned, he did not mention the fellow republicans who also criticized him. >> yeah, in fact at one point, the crowd started chanting "cnn sucks." the president referring to george stephanopoulos as "little george stephanopoulos." during that speech. that was interesting. he also hinted at a possible

[cheers and applause] >> that seemed to go over well, danya. >> reporter: it definitely went over well, and that's not surprising, because you had a convention center full of trump supporters. and arpaio is definitely a trump supporter. he's one of those people. he has pushed for tougher immigration. so has president trump, so it's not surprising that the people
3:36 am
there would also be a supporter of the former sheriff. now what i find most interesting about this is that earlier in the day the white house press secretary basically said there would be no discussion of a pardon and then president trump comes on stage and hints at that pardon. >> that seems to be a common theme. we hear that the white house aides aren't planning on having a press conference, then he gives a surprise press conference. then he's going to not mention a pardon and then he does mention a pardon. how do you account for all that? it seems like he likes to be unpredictable? >> reporter: yeah. and that's what we, you said it was very different from what we saw just the night before, that was very true. the night before, he was very scripted. it seemed like he stayed on track. he had a particular message that he wanted to get out and he stuck with that. but tonight it went from the media, it went from the pardon, it went from defending charlottesville. it seemed to touch on a lot of different points that did not gel together. many different points that took him all across the board. >> yes, it was.
