for unity, the president again defending his highly criticized response to the clashes in charlottesville. >> what happened in charlottesville strikes at the core of america. >> but the president quickly turned his remarks into an all out assault, accusing the press of misrepresenting his initial statements. >> they don't want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and violence and strongly condemned the neo nazis, the white supremacists and the kkk. >> reporter: mr. trump never mentioning the most controversial part of his response to the virginia violence. >> you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. >> words that prompted criticism from both democrats and republicans, as well as business and military leaders. still, the president arguing overnight his initial statements were clear and on point. >> i didn't say i love you because you're

i love all the people of our country. >> reporter: the speech which lasted for more than an hour filled with red meat for his staurchest supporters, the president threatening to shut down the government over the border wall. >> we have to close down or government. we're building that wall. >> and hinting he will soon pardon immigration hard liner sheriff joe arpaio despite his own press secretary saying hours earlier there would be no discussion of arpaio. >> i won't do it tonight because i don't want to cause any controversy. is that okay? but, sheriff joe can feel good. >> reporter: mr. trump each suggesting the massive trade deal, nafta, could soon be a thing of the past. >> i don't think we can make a deal so i think we will end up probably terminating nafta. >> reporter: no one has spared his sharp barbs including members of his own party from arizona without mentioning by name he took jam at senator john mccain for voting against

healthcare bill and senator jeff flake who has been deeply critical of them. >> and nobody wants me to talk about your other senator who is weak on borders, weak on crime so i won't talk about him. nobody wants me to talk about him. nobody knows who the hell he is. >> reporter: former director of national intelligence james clapper blasting mr. trump and calling the speech disturbing. >> i really question his ability to -- his fitness to be in this office. >> reporter: clapper also suggesting the president could be a threat to national security. >> i worry about frankly, you know, the access to the nuclear codes. >> reporter: and this morning new signs the president's relationship with the senate's top republican could be deteriorating. "the new york times" reporting that president trump and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell haven't spoken in weeks after an angry phone call over healthcare ha

shouting match. mcconnell's spokesperson not denying the account but telling nbc news they have a lot of shared goals, tax reform, infrastructure, funding the government, not defaulting on the debt, passing the defense authorization bill. still, it is yet another rift for a president who seems to be fighting on many sides. matt, savannah. >> kristen welker on the first part of this story for us. kristen, thanks very much. now to the protests that were playing out while the president was delivering that speech. stephanie gosk has that part of the story for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the goal for the police was to keep the protesters separated from the trump supporters and they were largely successful. this street right here was a kind of dividing line. but when trump wrapped up, that's when the trouble started. there were four people arrested by the end of the night, thankfully no one was injured. while it started out as a peaceful protest for thousands outside the phoenix convention center tensions in some areas quickly e

of chaos following president trump's speech. groups of both trump supporters and detractors began shouting chants at each other. violence erupted as what appeared to be a protester throwing punches at a trump supporter riding in the back of a pickup truck. protesters down the street outside of the convention center starting hurling objects at police and they decided it was time to quickly disperse the crowd. we heard bangs and quickly thereafter felt the effects of tear gas. >> i saw someone right next to me being hit in the will i'm with a rubber pellet, bleeding profusely, he had band-aids to cover the blood. as they fire more and more tear gas until everyone dispersed. >> reporter: city officials denied rubber bullets were used and said there was no widespread chaos, blaming the clashes on the protesters who got out of control first. >> i wouldn't call it chaos. >> it was chaos, believe me, i was in the mid

>> those are your words, i will not use those words. i will say we were prepared, des sieve and immediately responsive. i received the information that we were tear gassed first. >> reporter: earlier president trump told his supporters there was no cause to worry outside. >> just so you know from the secret service, there aren't too many people outside protesting. okay? that i can tell you. >> reporter: phoenix mayor greg stanton was concerned that the scenes we saw play out in charlottesville, virginia, would play out here in phoenix. this morning there is relief that that kind of violence was avoided. guys, back to you. >> stephanie gosk, thank you. a lot more to get to this morning including some new fallout tied to that series of deadly collisions involving u.s. war ships. the latest just this week off the coast of singapore. warships. the latest just off of singap e singapore. overnight, the commander of the navy's 7th fleet was relieved of
