JOE SCARBOROUGH (CO-HOST): And Willie, we’ve actually seen him get worse. He’s gotten so much worse over the past three to four months. You know yesterday, one more fabled attempt to make the turn. To read from the teleprompter. To -- we were commenting, he had not blown himself up in 48 hours, and it’s almost as if the guy just cannot stand for people not to be talking about him 24 hours a day. And here we are. Well, guess what, if you threaten or suggest the assassination of your political opponent, people will talk about you.

WILLIE GEIST (CO-HOST): Everyone, including members of the press, have to stop falling to the trap of [Donald Trump] made a speech about the economy, he read off a teleprompter, he said somethings that made sense if you're a Republican, he fed some red meat to those people, and thinking that this means it's a new day, that he's changed. We know who Donald Trump is. There are a lot of people who like this guy. A lot of people who voted for him, but this is who he is. It's not -- there is no pivot, there's no change.
