CHUCK TODD (ANCHOR): We were told this convention would be upbeat and optimistic. Well, what we have just heard from the president was a grievance-filled informal acceptance speech that was filled with so many made-up problems about mail-in voting that if we were just to air just the truthful parts, we probably could only air maybe a sentence, if that much. So, the president has kicked off his unconventional convention, and we have to kick off with a massive fact check with it. We're going to get to that in a second. But clearly this convention is going look a lot different from what we saw last week from the Democrats.
