Jamali, nbc contributor, nieera hack and rosa brooks. rosa, h.r. mcmaster said the following of the speech that's coming. he said it's going to be an inspiring, jet direct speech on the need to confront radical ideology and the president's hope for a peaceful vision of islam to dominate across the world. hopeful about that? >> well, i'm watching with interest, as i'm sure is the rest of the world. the funny thing about trump's speeches is that he just says whatever comes into his head, as far as i can tell, regardless of what is on the paper in front of him. so i think in terms of what could g...

In large part because while he is easily the most camera-aware president in american history, you don't know how much of the mechanics of this he has been briefed on, ie the mike is open all the way out up the aisle. let's face it, the last eight of these we've seen have been a president who is a veteran of the form and knows his way around that chamber. the president could not help himself on some of the ad libbing and i noted started around page eight of 18. certain areas like it wasn't enough to say that nato members are meeting their financial goals, the money was pouring in. it wasn't eno...

Grass roots. and last but not least, maybe my favorite question, do you approve or disapprove of president trump using twitter to communicate -- [laughter] [applause] 70% approve, 28 disapprove. why? that's how he gets around the dishonest media. everybody but the washington times.

Up. he's using it for speeches, using it for policy. >> yeah. that's a problem. i mean, it's almost like remember the movie "being there" where chauncey gardner is watching television obsessively and drifts into the oval office. this is real. this isn't fiction. if the president is paying more attention to what's on fox or what's on a chyron and tweets about it immediately, maybe more interest than he pays to his intelligence briefings, that will lead to a distorted word view. it increases the bubble and for someone with a lack of impulse control like him, you have gaffe after gaffe. >> this a...

Ronald reagan and john f. kennedy's speeches. are we going to hear "i want to put a man on the moon," something in that category? >> trump likes to project himself as a big thinker, so there's a good chance he will. i think this is one of his last opportunities, at least in the first 100 days, to really send a message that to the people who are skeptical of him, to diverse communities in the country that still treat him at arm's length, that he's going to turn the page on some of the division of the campaign. he doesn't have to do that, but this is an opportunity that he, in my view, might not...
