presidential. and in that, i think they both fell a little short. it's hard to explain, sometimes complex issues, like an unpopular war and when you decided to change that. so for both of them, the initial support of the iraq war in 2004 was a huge question. >> it's a question that wasn't really answered. >> that's right. both candidates gave opposing answers. so our partners at fact check.org took a closer look at that, and other claims made during last night's forum. >> here's nbc 10's george spencer with more. >> he supported it before it happened, as it was happening and he's on record as supporting after it happened. >> i said it will totally desfablize the middle east. >> strong assertions from both candidates. fact check.org said the facts don't support either statement. let's begin with trump's claim

that he was against the war from the beginning. >> numerous times, no matter how many times he says it, there isn't any evidence for it. >> trump mentioned an "esquire" article that appeared in august 2004 that showed his opposition to the war. fact check points out that was 17 months after the war started. >> you can go back and look at the record. he supported it. he told howard stern he supported it. >> on september 11th, 2002, howard stern asked trump if he supported a war with iraq. trump replied, i guess so. but the clinton campaign offered no evidence that trump supported the war after it happened. >> but i will not let the va be privatized. and i do think there is an agenda out there supported by my opponent to do just that. >> false said fact check.org. it does not call for the va to be completely privatized. it would allow veterans to go to

nonva medical centers that accept medicare. >> i think i would have a very good relationship with many foreign leaders. >> trump looking to sell his popularity around the world made a statement about president obama's lack of it. >> i think it's very sad when he lands in saudi arabia and he lands in cuba, and there aren't high officials to even greet him. this is the first time in the history, the storied history of air force one. >> not true, said fact check.org. other presidents have encountered similar low-key greetings on foreign trips aboard the presidential aircraft. in 1984, president ronald reagan was greeted by china's foreign minister, not the president, during a trip to beijing. president richard nixon visited china in 1972. according to fact check, chairman mao tse tung did not agree to meet him until after he arrived at a guest house. i'm george spencer, nbc news. meanwhile, vice president

and we've got more of that on the way. 105 today. the official high was 105. we missed the record by 1 degree. saturday 96, feeling like 103. sunday, 86, feeling like 86. or maybe even a little less. so it's going to feel like it's 15 to 20 degrees warmer saturday than sunday. that's quite a difference. and that is relief for the eagles. i'm sure they're pretty happy about it, because football players don't like playing in 95-degree weather. 81 degrees at kickoff. but low humidity. a bit of a breeze blowing. it's going to be nice and comfortable. 86 by the end of the game. still a little hot for players. they probably prefer it a little bit cooler than that. but at least it's not going to be 95. take a look at some of these numbers here, as the temperatures go down from

saturday. dover, 93. down to 80 by monday. allentown, 93, down to 79. even with sunshine. wildwood down to 76 with sunshine. so we definitely have some cooler air coming in as we head into next week. at the shore, nice weather on saturday. but it's going to be a land breeze. a lot of sunshine. sunday, 82 degrees -- excuse me, sea breeze on saturday, pretty strong sea breeze. and in the pocono mountains, just a slight chance of shower on saturday. and nicer weather coming on sunday. and the next five days at the jersey shore, you can see it's basically dry with the much cooler weather coming in monday and tuesday. >> glenn, thanks. lester holt joins us now from the nbc studios in new york. >> he's got a look at what's coming up on "nbc nightly news." good evening, lester. >> high, keith and rosemary. what regulators say wells fargo did to some of its customers
