This is a big place to buy lottery tickets. This is the cbs evening news. Mason good evening. Im anthony mason. The onagainoffagain president ial teleprompter was off again, and the president went off again on the media, fellow republicans, and anything else that came to mind. At a tuesday night rally in phoenix, the president also defended his charlottesville comments, though he did some careful editing. Heres chip reid. Its time to expose the Crooked Media deception. Reporter President Trump rushed to his Fiery Campaign trail rhetoric last night in phoenix, a sharp contrast to today in reno, where he read from a teleprompter and struck a measured tone before veterans at the American Legion convention. It is time to heal the wounds that divide us and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us. Reporter but in phoenix he once again defended remarks he made after a violent white supremacist rally earlier this month. One woman was killed when man drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters. Heres what i said on saturday we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and silence. Reporter what he actually said is this we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides on many sides. Reporter it was the words on many sides, and his apparent defense of White Supremacists three days later. Very fine people, on both sides. Reporter that led to widespread backlash. This from House Speaker paul ryan. I do believe he messed up in his comments on tuesday when it sounded like a moral equivocation or at the very least moral ambiguity. Reporter and Even Stronger words from g. O. P. Senator bob corker of tennessee. The president has not yet been able to demonstrate the ability nor some of the confidence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. Reporter the president last night blamed the media. Oh, thats so funny. Look back there. The live red lights, theyre turning those suckers off fast, ill tell you. Reporter as you can see, cnn and the other Cable Networks did not stop their live coverage, contrary to what the president said. Now, anthony, it would appear that the raucous rally last night in phoenix and the respectful speech here in reno today would have nothing in common, but, in fact, they do have this in common inch beth cases the president found a way to tell core audiences, core supporters exactly what they wanted to hear. Anthony . Mason chip reid in reno. Thank you, chip. Just the night before mr. Trump stuck to the script as he addressed the nation about afghanistan. James clapper, former director of national intelligence, was struck by the difference between that speech and his performance in phoenix. Here was clapper last night with cnns don lemmon. Its interesting to contrastland last nights teleprompter trump performance versus tonight, which is, of course, the real trump, just as it was in the unglued, impromptu press conference at trump toer. I just find this extremely disturning. Are you questioning his fitness . Yes, i do. I really question his ability to. His fitness to be in this office, and i also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it. Maybe he is looking for a way out. Mason what is the president s motivation . Chief White House CorrespondentMajor Garrett has more about that. They are trying to take away our history and our heritage. You see that. Reporter President Trump taunted the news media with accusations of divisiveness that since charlottesville republicans, democrats, and Business Leaders have laid at his feet. Mr. Trumps deflection and grievance are aimed at keeping the third of the country still on his side energized and angry. The us against them strategy targets Senate Republicans like jeff flake and john mccain both of who endured indirect fire from the bully pulpit in phoenix. Flake first. Nobody wants me to talk about him. Nobody knows who the hell he is. Reporter then mccain. But we are going to get rid of obamacare. Ly i will never stop. One vote reporter the president even rattled g. O. P. Congressional leaders with this threat. If we have to close down our government, were building that wall. Reporter that sounded all the more bizarre considering the long history of Campaign Promises about funding the wall. Who is going to pay for the wall . Mexico reporter House Speaker paul ryan was asked about the shutdown today. I dont think a Government Shutdown is necessary, and i dont think most people want to see a Government Shutdown. But i said, mitch, get to work and lets get it done. Reporter attacking some republicans, including a supposed ally like republican Mitch Mcconnell is also strategic. The president needs to show his base hes still committed to populism despite the firing of chief strategist steve bannon. Mcconnell and the president havent spoken in two weeks, and the president s aides say the president s erratic rhetoric and Party Bashing threaten his entire agenda. The white house tried the paper over the an animosity with sevel statements about shared objectives. During his feud with the president , mcdonnell has touched base with mike pence or chief of staff john kelly. Through all of this, the president s historically low Approval Ratings remain stuck in the mid30s. Mason Major Garrett at the white house, thanks. Joining us now, anthony slavanto, director of elections and surveys here at cbs news. Anthony, last night the president continued to criticize fellow republicans. Why does he feel confident that his base will stay with him if he does that . Anthony, if you take a look at the polling across the sum theyre weve done, you cant paint all of his supporters with the same brush. He has a core base, about half of his total support, inside those numbers. They feel more attached to him than they do to the party. They vote republican, but they consider themselves Trump Supporters first and foremost. Its a really personal connection. They feel like hes fighting for their culture and their way of life. Well, they havent been very much inclined to listen to anything the Republican Party lead verse to say. If anything they take any criticism of him personally on themselves, they say, and its only made their support firmer. Mason interesting. He has faced pushback from republican senators over charlottesville and over his threat to shut down the government if he doesnt get funding for the wall. If this gets in the way of his legislative agenda, will that affect his supporters . Well, heres where you look at the other half of his supporters. If we called them the more conditional supporters. They want policy outcomes from this president. Now, they still back him, but they feel like he has to deliver in congress with legislation. They want the tax cut, for example, and while most republicans did approve of how he described the events in charlottesville, it wasnt the same as the numbers hes gotten for things like handling the economy. So these folks are much more transactional, and the question will be at what point might they run out of patience if he cant deliver on that policy agenda . Mason anthony slavanto, thanks. Thank you. Mason at least 35 members of President Trumps Advisory Councils have now resigned in protest over his comments about charlottesville. Among them, thea lee, former deputy chief of staff of the aflcio who was a member of mr. Trumps manufacturing council. She also served on councils for his three most recent predators. Thea lee joins us now. What was it about charlottesville that made you quit this council . Well, it was that final Trump Tower Press Conference on tuesday afternoon that was so unhinged, and i think it was the fact that after watching those horrific events in charlottesville and seeing a person lose their life and to have nazis marching on the streets with torches and chanting antisemitic and racist slogan, it didnt seem like asking too much that the president of the United States should show the same revulsion, and the president s reaction was so inappropriate, so inadequate, so painful that it just felt that any kind of association with the president , with the administration at that point was no longer possible. Mason youve written that it became clear that this is not a normal administration and the usual rules do in the apply. What do you mean by that . I have served on a lot of Advisory Committees for previous president s, and i never considered that serving on an Advisory Committee was the same thing as endorsing a president , so it had never seemed before that i had to make that kind of a calculation that it was necessary to distance myself an additional space. Mason thea lee, thank you very much for being with us. Thank you, anthony. Thanks for having me. Mason mr. Trump did his best to get under Hillary Clintons skin during the debates last year. Now clinton reveals how successful he was in her new book what happened . Its published by simon schuster, a division of cbs. A portion of the audio version recorded by clinton was released today. Heres julianna goldman. No matter where i walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces. Reporter it was the second president ial debate, and in Hillary Clintons telling of the story, donald trump loomed behind her, breathing down her neck. Only two days earlier the campaign was rocked by the release of a tape in which mr. Trump bragged about sexual assault. Now they were on a small stage together. My skin crawled. It was one of those moments where you wish you could hilt pause and ask everyone watching, well . What would you do . Do you stay calm, keep smiling, and carry on, as if he werent repeatedly invading your space . Or do you turn, look him in the eye, and say loudly and clearly, back up, you creep. Get away from me. Reporter clinton has second thoughts about not choosing option b. Maybe i have overlearned theless isnt of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingering nails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while. Reporter clinton has kept a relatively low profile since last november, and in another excerpt she wrote about the disappointment of what she called her painful loss. I knew that millions of people were counting on me, and i couldnt bare the idea of letting them down, but i did. I couldnt get the job done. Reporter the excerpts elude the russias interference in the election. Clinton has also said shell address mistakes like her private email server in the book, which shes calling the most personal back shes ever written. Anthony . Mason julianna goldman, thanks very much. The commander of the navys seventh fleet was relieved of duty today following two deadly collisions in four months. Late sunday night the u. S. S. John s. Mccain collided with an oil tanker off singapore. Ten sailors are feared dead. Heres david martin. Reporter divers went below decks on the mccain searching for sailors trapped in flooded sleeping compartments. This time they took the equipment needed to cut bodies out of the mangled wreckage. After one stillunidentified body was pulled from the open water, the navy end its search to look for more sailors who might have been washed out of the gaping hole a tanker punched in the mccains hull. Having lost two ships, the mccain and the fitzgerald to deadly collision, the commander of the pacific fleet, admiral scott swift, said he no longer had confidence in vice admiral Joseph Aucoin and removed him immediately. Ships are now in stand down to review basic seamanship, one of several steps senior naval officers felt aucoin should have ordered in june after the fitzgerald collision. A string of accidents dates back the january when the guidedmissile cruiser antietam ran aground. Joseph carrigan was relieved of his command, but the investigation also found substandard performance from multiple crew members. The House Cleaning in the seventh fleet may not be over. Lowerrank admiral commanders are responsible for monitoring conditions aboard individual ships like the mccain and fitzgerald and may have failed to spot accidents waiting to happen. Anthony .

Mason about onethird of adults say they dont usually get enough sleep. Tonight there is news between the quality of sleep and the risk of dementia. Dr. Jon lapook is here to explain. Jon . Reporter anthony, this study looks at Rapid Eye Movement sleep or recommend. Thats the time when you dream. There are four stages of the sleep cycle. In stage one, sleep is very light. It progresses to deep sleep in stage three, and after that theres recommend sleep, which usually occurs four to five times over eight hours as your sleep cycle repeats. In this study, as the amount of recommend sleep declined, the risk of dementia increased. Mason so what might sleep have to do with dementia, john . Reporter this study was done in people over the age of 60. There is increasing evidence that toxins accumulate in the brain during the day. As youre awake. And what happens at night or whenever you sleep is that those toxins get cleaned out, something of a garbage collection function. And these include things like amyloids that are linked to alzheimers. We dont know when during the sleep cycle it occurs, but its very exciting research. Mason so does this mean sleep deprivation can cause dementia . We dont know that yet, but in is very exciting because we know that the changes that occur in the brains of people with alzheimers occur decades before they get symptoms. So maybe testing somebody for problems with sleep can be almost kind of a Screening Test in some people. And imagine if you could diagnose alzheimers or risk of dementia sooner rather than later. That would be very big. Mason important indeed. And im going to bed early tonight. Dr. Jon lapook, thanks. And up next, a coverup in charlottesville. Da yes. So let me ask you this.
