he is set to touch down in reno, nevada, to address the american legion condition. we will go to reno in a moment. but first, about last night. the crowd in phoenix, mr. trump's base, no doubt, gobbled up the red meat. but many others were growing increasingly worried about what we heard in that 75-minute mix of rambling and strangeness. not just going after members of his own party. the predictable swipes at the media, the promise to pardon a controversial sheriff, and that threat to shut down the government over his border wall. it wasn't just the hyperbole we have come to expect, the overstatements, the exaggerations. but last night there were flat out lies. >>> there have been so many, in fact, the "washington post" reports trump's list of false and misleading claims tops 1,000. some hoped it would be a speech designed to unite, but it turned into something else entirely. and something that started to veer off the rails when the president defended his initial comments after the death of a counter protester in charlottesville a week and a half ago. >> what happen

the president is being roundly criticized by members of his own party, let alone the legions and legionsf people in this country who simply cannot believe the kind of statement that the president issued after the violence that took place in charlottesville, followed by insult to injury by a white house spokesman who doubled down on that equivocal statement yesterday. it's been two days now since the president has had those comments lying in the air. you've got a person who died, people in the hospital. you know, ken frazier, other leaders should be following ken frazier's example at this point because there simply isn't any way to support a president who cannot bring it upon himself to denounce white supremacy unequivocally. supremacists who are marching, literally marching in his name, uttering his name on saturday. >> i want to come back to the politics in a moment. you made a bunch of strong statements that i want to probe. first i want to lean on your legal expertise. the attorney general has launch aid civil rights investigation into this. this morning, he says as far as he is conce

the far right has its legions in california, believe you me and the last left of course does as well but it's a state where there's so much activity, so much energy . and for that reason it's exciting. it can be tiring. it can be exhausting. especially when you try to figure out doctor meadows and figure out what the legislature is doing and not doing, our tax collection system is bananas and there's all kinds of problems here but problems or not, it's a state that moves. most of the time forward, sometimes not but it's a

when you look at what he said today, what he said in phoenix, when he talked the american legion, when he talked to the veterans. veterans that are suffering in louisiana where there are long wait lines. in washington, d.c., we have a va director -- >> kat: all presidents fire up database but not all of them called george stephanopoulos a tiny little man. have to acknowledge there's a difference. >> david: i didn't say there wasn't a difference. come out with the speech, make it sound as if it's true -- >> chris: i want to make this clear. i love you. before i shoot you down. the president lies even when he quotes himself. the biggest controversy over his speeches. he made me miss seinfeld because he went late last night. i've seen everyone 25 times. but he yada-yada-ed. >> david: here is what i will suggest to you. i will email you a transcript of what he said when i came to charlottesville and you can choose intellectual honesty or you can choose intellectual dishonesty about his words. you can debate the terms are used but you cannot debate the full context of the speech. you sit he

he will be speaking to the national congrevention of the american legion. just one day after calling for racial healing and unity, the president went off teleprompter and wildly off message, basking in the warmth of an adoring arizona base, he unloaded his fury and defended his commends that inflamed racial tensions. last night's remarks so divisive, james clapper publically questioned whether president trump is fit to hold office. let's listen to some key moments from the president's speech. >> i hit them with neo-nazi. i hit them with everything. i got the white supremacists, neo-nazi, i got them all in there. let's see. kkk. we have kkk. i got them all. they're trying to take away our culture. they're trying to take away our history. and our weak leaders, they do it overnight. these things have been there for 150 years, for 100 years. now the obstructionist democrats would like us not to do it. but believe me, we have to close down our government, we're building that wall. i don't think we can make a deal. so i think we'll end up probably terminating naf

tomorrow he speaks to the american legion.should refer back to that speech so he can continue on that same -- he also toured the board this morning. that's going to have to be something that comes up. i do think he will have some sort of reference to charlottesville like he did on monday night. doesn't necessarily have to be too specific. it was a very different audience. it's not the military. this will be a very excited cloud. i really high approval rating in arizona. i expect that he will enjoy the speech but i would be curious about what he thought about his own speech last night. it did get some pretty high marks but on substance it's been picked. i wonder how he feels about that? he did not to be today. i don't know. >> kimberly: unusually quiet. you make a great point that he will be in front of the really welcoming crowd. people that are really feeling the president. he should get some enthusiasm and energy from that. someone follow-up, if he makes any comment specifically about the senators? i heard brian kilmeade say

we just watched teleprompter trump give a speak to the "american legion." sticking to script in which he called for national unity. he was nothing like the president trump that spoke last night in phoenix. the president started off that rally by telling thousands of his supporters that our movement is a movement built on love. but then mr. trump went on the defensive, going off script, blasting the news media. >> and do you ever notice when i go on and i'll put like out a tweet or a couple tweets, he's in a twitter storm again. i don't do twitter storms. you'll put on a little tweet, i'm going to be with the veterans today. they'll say donald trump is in a twitter storm! these are sick people. >> shepard: sick people. the president defended his comments on the violence in charlottesville. he took swipe at fellow republicans and threatened a government shut down and threatened to pardon a controversial sheriff in arizona. this morning, president trump tweeted phoenix crowd last night was amazing. i love the great state of arizona. not a fan of jeff flake. we

to what is expect to be a very different kind of speech to the american legion. >> now he's oscillating between giving prepared remarks o s on camera, to delivering his rants where he does his sch tick for applause. any time you hit your mark and you say what your strategists want to say and the next day you go out and just sort of ad libs, it goes against everything you're trying to do. it's important to remember that speeches are tactics, so what you should be doing is have a broad strategy of what is it that you really want to do? is passing health care reform, is passing tax reform part of your agenda. he's responding not being pro active. >> i do see a theme running through the last three speeches, the speech about afghanistan on monday and then yesterday. he's starting to talk much more got patriotism, loyalty, history, heritage. i think this gets into dangerous territory, because he gives off the idea that you can only be patriotic in this country by being loyal to him. he's trying to get loyals behind him. at two events in three days. >> is that based on what he needs and wants

. >> president trump calling for unity in a speech at the american legion's national convention, good evening, i'm jessica dean. >>> aim nicole brewer. ukee's off tonight. that speech comes as americans weigh in on whether the president is a unite error divider. 62 percent say president trump is doing more to divide country according to a new quinnipiac university poll while 41 percent say he is doing more to unite it. natasha brownies live with more on the message the president delivered today, natasha. >> reporter: president trump certainly struck a much more subdued scripted tone speaking to veterans in reno, nevada. he called for unity on the heels of the raucous rally in phoenix 24 hours ago. >> this is the big one. >> reporter: president trump signed a bill wednesday making it easier for veterans to appeal decisions on their disability claim. signing ceremony came after a speech to veterans at american legion convention. >> in longer will veterans be kept waiting for years to get an answer, to their appeals. >> reporter: president stuck to the script wednesday asking all america
