Events in charlottesville. He is trying to make good on campaign promise. Watch him here. Were allamericans and we all believe right now in america first. The media can attack me. But where i draw the line is when they attack you, which is what they do. When they attack the decency of our supporters. [cheering] youre tax paying americans who love our nation, obey our laws and care for our people. It is time to expose the Crooked Media deceptions and to challenge the media for their role in fomenting decisions. The obstructionists democratsofo we send our troops all over the world to help others in need. No other country has made that sacrifice and we do it consistently. I agree with you. We have internal division here and this is a speech about trying to bring us together and we just really need that. I agree, he has to keep talking like this. You cant make a unity speech once. Its got to be in every speech he makes to a certain degree. He has to make it a theme and he has to beat down those who are criticizing him on a regular basis. I think this drumbeat has to be continuous and get louder. I hope he does it. Trish people were criticizing last night because he got into the whole thing. By the way, i thought he was trying to do so. It was a rally. Its a different genre. You are talking to a different crowd. These are your peeps. He went there and explained the whole situation say look, i came out on saturday. I had to come on monday, on tuesday. By then he was really annoyed and i was critical of it. I dont think he shouldve been baited by reporters nonetheless he went to a certain extent and they ran with it and now he has to come out again and really stressed this message of unity. General, the military is one of the best places for you look at integration of everyone they are in the military and theres a common sense that we are american. We are fighting for our country and all the rest of it be. The color of your skin does not matter. You are an american first. Am i right . Thats absolutely true. A couple books written about the most successfully written in america. Those are written 20 years ago. We have a common drumbeat because we were together. We dont care where our soldiers come from, who their mothers and fathers are, what their level of education is. Weve got one thing in common, to Work Together as a team and push against the enemies unites us. It really goes on in our units, we dont talk much about it because were a little embarrassed by it. The truth is theres a lot of love in our unit and they have feelings for each other and that is why they will go in harms way and literally do what President Trump with technology and today when he brought up the former soviet who laid down on the grenade. Why did he lay down on the grenade . He laid down on the grenade to protect his teammates. He did it instinctively. No thought, just did it. That is what we are talking about that goes on inside military organization. He so much admires himself and translate them that is who we are connected to. Trish youre absolutely right. I think weve got some dangerous rhetoric coming from the left and its important for him to get out in front of it just as he did today over and over again. As you said, general, a lot of lessons in there. Just look to the military. Its part of who they are. Thank you very much, sir. The mayor of new york city wanting to potentially destroy the statue of Christopher Columbus in columbus circle. Where is this getting us . Ill be back. Potsch you each drive a ford pickup, right . in unison russ, leland, gary yes. Gary i have a ford f150. Michael ive always been a ford guy. Potsch then i have a real treat for you today. Michael awesome. Potsch im going to show you a next generation pickup. Michael lets do this. Potsch this new truck now has a cornerstep built right into the bumper. Gary super cool. Potsch the bed is made of highstrength steel,. But maybe not the bed of a truck. Potsch and best of all, this new truck is actually gary all laughing oh my. Potsch the current chevy silverado. Gary im speechless. Gary this puts my ford truck to shame. James ill tell you, i might be a chevy guy now. laughing trish pregnant donald trump speaking to the American Legion in reno, nevada. Moment though, a very unifying beach on a speech very appropriate at a time like this as we look at a nation divided, a nation that is falling victim to identity politics, with the left standing are White Supremacists in the white house, with members of the left saying if you vote for a republican, you are a racist. To calm down, including new york city mayor, bill deblasio talking about the Christopher Columbus circle as its named on the upper west side. This comes as the statues and monuments all over the country are in danger of being labeled offensive and removed altogether, destroyed. He was suggesting we blow up mount rushmore. At what point does it stop . At what point does it end . President ial historian doug wead joins me right now. Ive got to tell you, you know what, i have never thought, you know, i grew up in the north in new hampshire. I never thought about the confederate statues until a few days ago. I question why it is that im thinking about this so much as they have been the last few days. I dont think it is a coincidence, sir, is there . Its interesting. A lot of the great emancipator is at the 19th century, 18th century would not pass political muster. They wouldnt be politically correct today. That includes Abraham Lincoln who signed the emancipation proclamation, which left 1 million slaves in bondage and it includes George Washington who was the founder of our country who have blazed and yet trish, and they wanted him to be king. If they hadnt taken those first steps towards liberty and freedom, they would be no barack obama. Trish what i am trying to say and i want to get back to that because its put everything in historical context, you know, we judge people differently at different points in history. That said, what im saying is the fact ive never thought about the statues before, what does that tell you . They are trying to drive the narrative, the left out there wanting to take down all of them. The mayor of new york city establishing a commission to look at taking out Christopher Columbus. That date has been mayor since 1892 by the way. Thats when i put it up in new york city. What did he do . We stole land from the native americans. I guess thats the thinking. This nation never should have been founded at all if you go by that logic. Right, consider this. United kingdom eliminated slavery in 1833. So there should be moms going into westminster abby in pulling down the statues of the kings and queens of england. Slavery is a horrible, criminal thing, but it is not astro centric. Catherine the great ruled over, the rule itself comes from the flaws, which were about half the population of europe who were hauled off into slavery. Tree into an granted, its one of the worst parts of our history, but its part of our history. I guess what im troubled by is where does this go . Everything suddenly now is somehow under attack. Yeah, it is kind of like the red guard in china. Trish you dont laugh about that. I mean, this is scary stuff. A day spirit and russia, some cities have statues of lenin better outcome in some pulled them down. When you said where will it go, democrats have heroes like Margaret Sanger who founded planned parenthood, the very racist, terrible things she wrote. Woodrow wilson and his son was in the clan and landed on the Democratic National convention or the president come you are right. Once you start with a threat, the whole sweater will unravel. Trish and your race entirely are his gray, who we are as a nation that is wrong. We are above all americans get every single one of us and all of these historical figures have that commonality. Thank you very much. Good to have you. President trump in Senate LeaderMitch Mcconnell are so strange they are not even on speaking terms. What does that mean for the agenda . We are on it. We will see here. Trish the wedge between the president and Mitch Mcconnell is growing. He is uncertain whether trumps presidency between the onslaught of criticism, not to mention the left is salivating at the idea of impeachment. Robin bureau and boyd mathis and are back with me. I guess this plays right to the left right here, right now. Theres all kinds of discord in the republican party. It isnt so fond of donald trump. Steve mann and leaving to go back to bright part. He is kind of antiestablishment. How challenging is that going to make it . Thisll make it extremely challenging for the agenda and they dont have much time. They have to worry about the debt ceiling. Theyve got so many other things theyve got to get done and they havent spoken in weeks. I told you before but i am hashtag mitch mitch. Im still im not trading. Hes being obtuse or not talking to the president right now. It doesnt make any sense. Tree into isnt he supposed to be more of a leader here . He wasnt able to coalesce republicans together. If he really doesnt like the president , why does make him out and say that . Instead, he is in no mans land. I know. I just dont get it. Its like hes built a border wall around himself and still after all this time pretending the presidency of donald trump didnt happen because he does not like it. But hes got to deal with it and try and work with it or they will pay in the midterms. Tree into what is it that Margaret Thatcher said . Dont stand there in the middle of the road because youre going to get hit. And Mitch Mcconnell wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He sort of begrudgingly accepted donald trump is president and i think that is hurting him a lot. Like i said, one way or the other on this with all the wishywashy stuff, it leads you in no mans land. That is right. This is definitely a lead, follow or get out of the way moment for leader mcconnell. I actually agree with robin that the biggest threat to terms policy agenda is Mitch Mcconnells political agenda. Hes very much an oldschool politics first, last and always operator. Its a complete lack of leadership focused more on what are the political angles and how do i hold onto power for the longest amount of time as opposed to shifting in recognizing this is a different kind of pregnancy. American people are in a different place. That is where again what the president did today in terms of the call to unity was spot on. If we dont get the shifted, a lot of republicans need to start thinking do i want to hitch my wagon to a Mitch Mcconnell leadership agenda or do i want to hitch it to the American People agenda . Thats a big shift. Trish i think the answer to that one is easy. You want to be with the American People, right . The unity is important. He needs to continue heading home on this because there is a risk and very quickly, tell us what happened if the democrats win made term, does donald trump run a greater risk of this impeachment . This is what Maxine Waters co. Want. Yeah, that would be a big mistake for democrats to go down that path if they were able to run the table. I dont see a blue wave happening in 2018. They are giving the president a good long leash because they know draining the swamp is really hard. There is that risk, but it would be a big risk to the democrats just like republicans for a long time after we tried to impeach president obama. Its a losing strategy. The best thing is to execute on agenda and make it happen. Trish lets not forget they have no agenda. Their only agenda is you cannot vote for a republican because if you do come you are racist. Thats not going to work. Thank you so much. Good to see you. This story is absolutely positively crazy and insane that we had to go when double and triple check to make sure it was actually true and indeed it is. Espn were moving and asianamerican because of his name. Not kidding. He happens to have the name robert lee and he happened to be basically hosting a Football Game they are at uva as an announcer in charlottesville. Somehow they think that is dangerous because, you know, when you live in such a Political Correctness crazy world, maybe it is. We are going to debate it. I will see you right back here. Including those around new babies, should talk to their doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated. Trish espn pulling and asianamerican announcer from abroad crass to the university of virginia Football Game all because of his name, because his name happens to be robert lee. Unfortunately for him, he happens to share the same name as the confederate war general robert e. Lee. Espn is all worried that somehow this guys name might defend its viewers. Joining me right now, didnt get it from the Media Research center. Am i living in some kind of alternative universe now . You live in the real world. Espn does not. I love this story. This singlehandedly proves all the stuff weve been seeing about what a crazy place espn has, so shifted from sports to become the progressive network. This is everything they do now. They turn everything into politics. The reason why they did this particular move is they recently got beat up by left complainers because they ran a Fantasy Sports auction draft on their network and makeup criticized and said you look like a slave draft. Trish they are very sensitive. This one to me is wild. This poor guy is a playbyplay announcer named richard lee. He happens forget me, robert lee, he happens to be an asianamerican. You know, this is his misfortune i guess that hes named after the guy who ran the confederacy. This is silly stuff now. But this is actually damaging to an individual, to someones career. Yeah, this disconnect it to the monument story. The left is in a cultural revolution. They dont want to just get rid of civil war monument. They want to purge anything they dont like and if youve got an inconvenient name and it screws up your career, too bad. For espn, this is the reason for all this craziness led by the president of espn, worked for eight years at rolling stone. So when you look in the wide trish i didnt hear you. They were in my ear. He works for eight years where . He worked eight years at rolling stone. Trish that says it all clearly. We are going to leave it there. Like theyve gotten anything right lately. Thank you.

The president wrapping up his events at the American Legionons 9th convention the last half hour in reno, nevada saying now is the time to heal the wounds that have divided us. The president following up this remarks by signing the veterans appeals improvement of modernization act. Its a mouthful but what it will do is actually speed up the possibility of appeals process for nearly half a million veterans. All of this coming as the current military is dealing with the second deadly major accident on the high seas. The second fleet commander is
