as you may have heard just moments ago on lawrence o'donnell's show, he was making that argument in west bend. now that is significant here because it was billed as this certain type of speech. an interesting choice to be clear for a speech that was directly bringing up race. one political reporter already pointed this out online. according to the census bureau, west bend, wisconsin, is 95% white. i want to get to our panel here. mark thompson, liz smith, and katy packard. thank you so everyone. mark, i'll start with you. your thoughts on this address. i know you watched the entire thing for us here in the newsroom and particularly on the geography, at times donald trump made it sound that he was addressing the inner city, that he was addressing black voters. there's a big difference between west bend and milwaukee. you don't even get away with saying you're in harlem if you're in the upper west side around here and that's a lot less than 40 miles. >> you're absolutely right. thank you for having me, ari. west bend is an hour from milwaukee. if he was concerned about the african-american

"i was viciously attacked by mr. khan at the democratic convention. am i not allowed to respond. hillary voted for the iraq war. not me." again this morning "this story isn't about mr. khan who is all over the place doing interviews but rather radical slauk terrorism and the u.s., get smart." meanwhile, his surrogates have begun innuendo a

khan went back on the last word with lawrence o'donnell yesterday to talk about the case against donald trump. >> i don't really care what donald trump is saying about me or about anyone. because i respect myself. i respect my fellow muslims, americans, or all the religions. i respect all human beings. so i'm not going to say anything for donald trump any more. >> this person lacks sense of empathy. he cannot empathize with the people and their feeling that he wishes to lead without empathy, a leader is no leader. a leader cannot become a leader. and lack of his empathy is an indication of his disqualification. >> now trump's running mate, mike pence, was confronted by a mother of an active duty air force staff sergeant at an event in nevada last night. where she was booed. >> time and time again, trump has disrespected oh our nation's armed forces and veterans, and has disrespect for mr. khan and his family is just an example of that.
