MEGYN KELLY (HOST): So when he comes out here tonight this has got to be a sort of swan song for him. It's amazing when you see how young he looked in that video tape right? And how much the presidency ages a man. But what do you think his goals ought to be? 



CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Well what he is going to do tonight I think is number one defend what he's done. He took a big hit from the Donald Trump convention speech which painted a dystopian America, a wild-in-the-street, crime in the streets, sort of out of control. And I think Obama has a reasonably good case that that's a gross exaggeration. For example, crime, violent crime is down 50 percent over the last quarter century. Yes there's been a minor uptick in the big cities over the last year or so. But fundamentally, the cities have been transformed. The crime rate has been radically reduced. So he'll want to make the case that we are not exactly living in a bladerunner universe.
