Back on track for his campaign. How will Hillary Clinton use all of this against him tonight . Only two people truly know the answer to question. So far neither of them is talking, bill. Kellyanne conway, Reince Priebus, repochris christie all scheduled to appear this morning and they were all replaced by mayor Rudy Giuliani. I appeared on all five major news. Im not here to defend his comments. If he were here, he wouldnt be defending his comments. His comments were wrong, they were very wrong, and reprehensible. He has said that. Hes the candidate thats much better suited to run the country than Hillary Clinton who has her own set of flaws. And speaking of Hillary Clinton, dealing with controversy of her own from over the weekend. These leaked speeches to wall street showing a different side to the candidate. More on that in a moment. First i want to start with john roberts back there live in st. Louis who is following the trump team. John, lets start there. Good day. Reporter bill, good afternoon to you. Donald trump, not surprisingly, defiant in the face of calls for him to step down. Yesterday outside of trump tower actually leaving trump tower, going out onto the sidewalk on fifth avenue. I have been out there on fifth avenue so many days to cover this campaign, and he has never walked out front but a throng of people to show his support. Hes waving to the crowd, thank you very much, were going to continue on. In the face of people like kelly ayotte and john mccain, john thune, the leadership saying they will no longer support donald trump and that he should probably step down. Donald trump issued this tweet, quote, so many skelfrighteous hypocrites watch their poll numbers and elections go down. The strategy at least in the early going before the debate tonight is to disavow Donald Trumps remarks and then say, hey, lets get past it. Listen to what his wife melania said in a release yesterday. Quote, the words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. This does not represent the man that i know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology as i have and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world. Beyond that now leading toward the debate they are focusing in on Hillary Clinton. The contents of these emails from john podesta that were hacked accusing her of saying one ning in public and then pursuing very different policies behind closed doors. Listen to what Rudy Giuliani told Chris Wallace earlier this morning. We have two candidates that have flaws. Now, lets get to the issues. Who are going to be better on the issues . She fought so hard to keep those secret and we now know why. If she had run the way she ran on those tapes for all those bankers she got paid millions of dollars for saying that stuff. This is stuff she got paid for. She would not be the candidate. Bill, you mentioned the elephant in the room, and there is some information out there that the first thing that the moderators will talk about at tonights debate at Washington University is that tape from 2005. Donald trump has to have a really good answer for that or its going to be all downhill from there. So well see what he says. Hes been tweeting up a storm this morning, john. Reporter he has. And retweeting as well. There were stories written last night that there was turmoil inside of trump tower. What can you say about that reporting from inside . Reporter well, i mean, clearly, bill, when Something Like this happens, its going to cause turmoil and you have to know this probably hit them harder than they ever thought that it would. On friday calls were being made from Trump Officials to various news organizations. I fielded one of them. Kind of gauging the temperature of just how big a story this was going to be. You know, there were reports that mike pence was thinking of leaving. Reports that kelly ann con wisconsin was thinking of leaving. Right now the team remains in place but its still early hours. I think a lot will turn on how good a performance donald trump puts in tonight. There are many people who believe if he is to survive another day, hes got to have the performance of his night tonight. Pence referred to that as getting this thing back on track again. Thank you. John roberts live in st. Louis. Back to martha now. All of this, of course, makes the stakes tremendous tonight for both of these candidates. Trump may now be dealing with the big gest challenge he has faced yet. Chris, what does he have to do tonight and can he save it . First of all, isnt this a hell of an election. Unbelievable. I did not think in my life i have not lived a good enough life to deserve to get to cover an election this crazy. We know that. That is a clear fact. But, lordy day. What does he need to do tonight to get back on track . I think what he needs to do tonight to get back on track is to be humane, kind, gentlemanly, and decent. But how does he dispatch with the elephant in the room . He has to say it. You have to eat the whole elephant. You have to say, im sorry, i was wrong. Remember here, the controversy isnt about him using locker room talk. The controversy here is about him bragging, and that he is no evidence that he did it, but him br bragging about what would be potentially a criminal offense. If he really did what he said he did, it would be a huge deal. He needs to apologize, take ownership, and then he needs to be kind. He needs to be humane and he needs to be decent. But the signals coming out of trump and trump tower right now are full mont monte, accuse bil clinton of rape, talk about huma abedin. His campaign always gets on better ground when he talks about the issues, about the people of america, when he talks about the borders, when he talks about jobs. When he talks about regulations in this country. Thats where hes on the stronger ground. If he wastes his time going into territory thats been unsuccessful for him before right. Can he succeed doing that this time . No. So the mutually assured destruction trump has been threatening, threatening, threatening, if you talk about me of course im going to talk about you. He made the thinly veiled threat when he was on stage at hofstra, he said there are things i wanted to say but i just couldnt do it because theyre so terrible. Well, now we come to the moment where not the worst thing imaginable but a very bad thing has been put out on donald trump and now he has to choose. Does he take his medicine, say im sorry again, he has to repeat im sorry, move on and be gracious. He has a very winning way about him when he chooses to be, a winsome, kind, slightly selfeffacing. If you remember the interview he did with megyn kelly, he was quite charming in that interview. If he was bring that here tonight, yeah, he could do something good. Here is the problem for him. He could come out tonight and say, look, america, im that guy. Im that obnoxious guy. You know me. Uncle don. Juf you have a friend like me. You have someone in your family like me. I want to make everybody laugh and stay stuff that is really awful but i would never do that. Right. But the only way he can say that is if theres nothing worse or if theres not a woman who is going to come out and say, yes, he did that to me. If hes good on all that other stuff, he could say im that guy, and lets move on. Weve heard from ben carson and now heard threats theres more and more and more thats going to keep coming up out and thats the problem. So thats why youve got look, in politics the thing about dealing with a scandal is you have to deal with it all the way through. You have to take it all the way down to the bottom of the line and be finished with it. Witness Hillary Clintons failure to deal with her email scandal. She tried to blow it off, and it has just hounded her as a consequence. Is this masterful clinton opo were seeing here . Look at the timing. You have the Miss Universe thing that was good. That was a clinton kablooey. And he didnt resist. Theres been a pattern. Her we can canikileaks comes ou. There could be more. She may have something in her quiver for every single thing theyre going to come out with. The other thing here is whether this was intentional or planned or whatever, doesnt matter because its so salacious. Its got sex in it. Its got famous people in it. Its got celebrity. Its got all of that stuff. This is just catnip, and the problem for trump is the wikileaks story stays within the universe of politics. If you understand politics well enough to be offended by what john podesta wrote allegedly in an email, your vote is already spoken for. This story, stories about sex and power, those stories go everywhere and it goes into the broader medium, and it reaches voters who dont Pay Attention and thats and its all about the one categorydogged him since the beginning, and thats women. You think about the question megyn asked him about in the beginning. This is one group he needs more than any other group and he did make traction with women at one point. He did. And you turned the corner in september and he started to come around and it was because he was acting humane and because he was acting more steady talking about the issues. And now we will see. His Campaign Comes to the crossroads and so does in a lot of ways this country. Fascinating and important. All of it. Yeah. Great to see you as always. Back to you in new york. There was an exodus in new york yesterday. About three dozen republicans doing public, pulling their endorsement of donald trump in some cases. In other cases they frankly did not support trump to begin with. Alabama senator Jeff Sessions has, and hes standing by trump offering a bit of advice to mr. Trump and warning people about writing him off too soon when he said that. He needs to be himself. He needs to apologize clearly. He needs for the American People to know that he understands this kind of talk is unacceptable, and he has to stop it. And then hes got to refocus this whole question on what you want for america. Twice hes been down. Twice hes come back to lead. Now hes down again presumably. I think he can move toward november on these issues. That from earlier today and our political report for real clear politics with me now. Good day to you. Good day. Happy sunday. Hes been down twice and hes come back to lead. And we were just talking about the posture for trump now. You see him, as i see him, over the past several hours as going back on offense. Frame that. Absolutely. So we saw in the apology video that the campaign issued friday night. He did apologize but then quickly moved to change the subject to bill clinton and Hillary Clinton, and weve seen through Rudy Giulianis interviews today and also trumps tweets overnight that thats where he wants to take this, and now this is something that lots of republicans dont want him to go down that avenue, going after Hillary Clinton for her husbands infidelities and her alleged involvement in covering or moving trying to move past those as well. Republicans have seen in polling that that will backfire. Theyve seen the reverse effect, republicans moving closer or at least sympathizing with clinton in ways when they bring that up. Rudy giuliani said today he did not think he would bring up bill clinton but he suggested he may refer to hillarys reaction to female accusers in the past. In the video he said hillary has attacked, shamed, and bullied the victims. See more in the debate on sunday night. Theres a clue in there. Exactly. Weve talked about this before, trump, when hes attacked and he feels like he is being attacked right now, we saw in the tweets yesterday, he said the media and republicans want me to get out. Im never leaving this race. He was also tweeting today about republicans who were leaving the campaign who were not supporting him, withdrawing endorsements and asking him to leave the ticket saying that they will face a backlash of their own. So he is in a very aggressive posture right now, and he feels like he is being attacked. And i was talking to a lot of his supporters outside trump tower yesterday, and a lot of them were saying the same kind of thing, that the media is blowing this up and so forth. And so thats kind of where hes taking comfort in those supporters. The problem though is that lots of other people want him to be more sincere and apologize further and get this conversation back on issues. Here are some of the tweets from earlier today. So many selfrighteous hypocrites referring to, i would imagine, republicans and others on screen. He said so many selfrighteous hypocrites. Watch their poll numbers and elections go down. Another one, tremendous support except for some republican leadership. Thank you. Referring to the support. Exactly. A lot of these republicans, you know, trump wasnt their first choice, but a lot of them are asking him to leave the ticket. Now, of course, we know from talking to experts that that is not possible. Ballots have been printed. People are already voting. Early voting has begun in several states so that is not possible. But youre seeing a hemorrhaging of support from the Trump Campaign which is significant. Campaigns are about addition and not subtraction. Trump has been falling behind before all this in key battleground states and nationally, and his goal was to gain more support, and by losing the Republican Party, that makes it all the more difficult. Flip this around a little bit. If he does go there, how is she prepared to respond . Well, weve seen what does she say . Weve seen a couple kind of practice runs, so to speak. She was asked during a New Hampshire town hall last year about this, and she said people who accusers should be believed until theyre disbelieved and that was how she handled it. Also shes talked about, you know, people have talked about her defending her family during that, and so i think she has the potential to flip that around and take a more have people sympathize with her more on that. I think its a really tough road for trump to go down because she can then turn the tables back on him and talk about all these other things going around. You have 30 days left. Giuliani said we have two candidates who have flaws, lets get back to the issues and figure out who is a better candidate and who will be a better president. Last word. These are two very unpopular candidates but weve seen trump since the first debate, since the end of the first debate, not able to get out from under himself, and i think thats really been key. For a lot of these republicans who are leaving, this instance was really the straw that broke the camels back. They have been watching the candidate over the past year but more specifically over the past week really falter at key moments, and so i think its very difficult for him to rebound, and thats why i think all eyes will be watching tonight for the future of trump and also the future of the Republican Party. Kaitlyn, thanks. Real clear politics with us in studio. Ill be watching. Yes. So will you. Back to st. Louis and more with martha from there. So much at stake tonight. Great points there. As we get ready for the big debate tonight, it is very highly anticipated as weve all been talking about, but now it could be the most important moment in the campaign for both of these candidates, and that can just not be overstated. Were going to talk about it with representatives from both of the campaigns coming up. Also, there is a wikileaks bombshell getting headlines. Why republicans say it proves Hillary Clinton has two sides. A public face and a very private face. In her own words. Plus this today a community is coping with tragedy after two Police Officers were gunned down in palm springs. Were going to tell you about the manhunt that led to an arrest. Employees are broken, and if theres ever a time to pray for palm springs pd, its now. S pd. Lots of vitamins a c, and, only 50 calories a serving. Good morning, indeed. V8. Veggies for all. Thats why a cutting edgeworld. University counts on centurylink to keep their global campus connected. And why a Pro Football Team chose us to deliver fiberenabled broadband to more than 65,000 fans. And why a leading car brand counts on us to keep their Dealer Network streamlined and nimble. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. Were getting a sneak peek of the room where it will all happen tonight for the town hall at Washington University in the fieldhouse. Its been converted to this set, circular space where theyre checking the microphones, getting everything ready. The schools are wrapped where they will be perched and Walking Around this space in an important night for them both. The microphone is at the ready for the questioners, the lucky people who get to represent really america as they sit and ask these two candidates the things that are the most burning issues on their minds. There could be some very tense moments in this room. Weve seen that before. The moderator is over here to the right will be seated where theyre checking everything and making sure it all works. One thing we know about the town hall environment debate is that viewers at home tend to stick with it longer. The stitcher podium debate people generally hang with it for about 30 minutes but this format seems to keep them engaged longer so tonight is very important for how they react to people. Theres a split screen with the questioner and the candidate so you can see the persons face. You can see whether or not they think their question is actually being answered or whether they like the answer or not and that gets felt very profoundly at home as well. Weve seen some past debates in this environment. So tonight is where its all going to happen, in this room as Hillary Clinton and donald trump get ready for what may be a decisive night in election 2016. We got in there right before they did the final lockdown and got a look at that room where that action will take place, bill, and it is its very small. Its very intimate in there. Donald trump is a big guy, a tall guy, and Hillary Clinton, as we know, is shorter, and its going to be an interesting dynamic to watch the two of them in those sort of close quarters, especially given the content of what we have seen play out over the last 48 hours. Its going to be something else, bill. The nonverbal, martha, and that physical interaction is very interesting. We had 85 million for debate number one. I dont know how many will watch tonight. I dont know if the events of the last two dates will drive that viewership higher or turn some people away but we shall see 30 days out. How did this school get that debate . Theyve had it several times before. In fact, they did the first one in 1992, which was first town hall debate, and that was george bush and bill clinton, and, in fact, the clinton folks said, hey, lets do a town hall debate and they were surprised that the bush people said yes, lets do Something Like that. It was an arena bill clinton had used a lot in his primary campaigns and it worked well for him. They both walked into it. It was the one where george bush looked at his watch in the middle of it. I was talking to frank yesterday and he said as soon as george bush looked at his watch, he said, we can go home. This is over. Not good. It was a tough introduction but they have a lot of experience with it. This is the fourth time they have done it and they are handling it really well. Really well organized and everything is going great here. Just remember, youre always on camera. Martha, see new a moment. We have some breaking news out of california. Want to get to that in a moment. There was a manhunt in palm springs, california, ending earlier today with the arrest of a man suspected of killing two Police Officers. They were responding to a domestic dispute when the suspect allegedly pulled out a gun, opened fire. A third officer wounded. Hes now in the hospital. Will carr in l. A. Picks up our coverage from there. How did this happen, will . Reporter now that the gunman is mind bars, theyre trying to figure out if he was targeting these officers. This all went down yesterday just after noon in palm springs. Officers were going to a house about five minutes north of the heart of downtown palm springs responding to a domestic disturbance call. The man in the house, 26yearold john felix a known gang member, wouldnt come out. Then at some point he allegedly opened fire on the officers killing two and injuring another. A neighbor told the local paper that before the shooting, felix had a gun and was saying that he wanted to kill cops. Then after a 12hour standoff, felix was arrested and taken into custody. I am awake in a nightmare right now. Thats me, but you know what . As the chief of police for this Police Department i have to step forward and stay focused and i got some very qualified managers here that will take a bunch of aspects of this investigation and we will press forward. Felix has a long criminal history, including a conviction for an attempted gang assassination. He ended up pleading down to that, bill, and only spent two years in prison. What do we know about the officers who were killed, will . Reporter well, both were parents. Lesley zerebny was 27 years old. She had been with the Police Department for a year and a half. She actually just came back from maternity leave. She leaves behind a husband and a 4monthold baby girl. Then theres officer jose vega. He went by gil. He was the father of eight. 63 years old. A 35year veteran of the palm springs Police Department. He was set to retire in december. There was an emotional procession late last night when their bodies were taken from the hospital there in palm springs to the coroners office. These were the second and third members of Law Enforcement here in Southern California killed just this week. This past wednesday a sergeant with the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department was gunned down. Bill . Wow. Tough story again. Will carr, thank you, out of california today. And, martha, were just getting word here that Donald Trumps plane has left new Yorks Laguardia airport, and theres a picture that went out on behalf of kellyanne conway, and trump is on the plane with Reince Priebus and Rudy Giuliani and hes shown talking on the phone with mike pence. Well show you that picture when we get it available here. Yeah, theyre on their way to st. Louis. Hes basically been in trump tower for the last 48 hours or so hunkered down trying to deal with this whole issue and now hes en route to st. Louis where we are this morning. Also want to get you the latest on matthew which is no longer a hurricane butted damage is still being done in parts of the southeast. At least 15 people have lost their lives in this country from this horrible hurricane, and floodwaters were really one of the biggest issues from the torrential rain. The latest from that stormbattered region coming up next. Also donald trump saying what he said in that lewd video is nothing compared to bill clintons past scandals and the treatment of women. Well talk with both campaigns about how that might factor into tonights debate 8 1 2 hours from now. Trump, clinton, the gloves are off. Donald is unfit to be the commander in chief. Politicians like secretary clinton that have caused this problem. Stakes are higher and the hits will be harder. Should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes. I have much better judgment than she does. Tonight all eyes will be on the second president ial debate and only fox news has the coverage you need. We are americas election headquarters. You can run an errand. music playing push it real good. announcer vo or you can take a joyride. Bye bye, errands, we sing out loud here. Siriusxm. Road happy.

I have said some foolish things, but theres a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill clinton has actually abused women and hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed, and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the on sunday. That from a friday midnight release, and that may be a clue as to what happens tonight. That was the end of Donald Trumps apology video where he accused the former president , bill clinton, of doing far worse than he has done with his affairs and scandals from the 1990s. Dach david goodfriend, boris epstein, gentlemen, a good day to you. Kellyanne conway sent this picture out a moment ago on board the trump plane as they left laguardia. Theres Reince Priebus to the left. Thats Rudy Giuliani to the right and trump apparently is on the phone with mike pence. Boris, how do you want your candidate to handle this tonight . I know how to handle it. Its all about the issues. Its what the American People care about. Its about national security, about the economy. We havent had 3 gdp growth in this country in eight years. We know what isis is doing in this country and all over the world. We need to make sure people see the binary choice they have between donald trump, somebody who is a visionary, who has real leadership to offer on these topics, and Hillary Clinton, who has failed at everything shes ever done from the d. C. Bar to being an inconsequential senator to being the worst secretary in state in history. Look at iran, look at russia, look at china, syria, libya, benghazi. Shes failed every task. She cannot be allowed to be president. Mr. Trump is the right man to lead this country. Back to the question, how do you want him to handle this tonight . This specific issue . Bill, hes already handled it. Hes apologized twice, in a statement and on the video. The Clinton Campaign is dead set on bringing up these issues and bringing up really this Opposition Research is all it is and trying to distract the American People from the topics. The American People will not be fooled by the clintons as they have tried to do for the last 40 years. The American People know what really matters. Watching his twitter feed already today. Its been active. He retweeted at least two tweets related to juanita broderick, her allegations of bill clinton regarding rape. She has done an interview at the Watergate Hotel in washington, d. C. , this weekend bill hang on one second. Ill let you respond in a moment. Here is the first tweet. Hillary calls trumps remarks horrific while she lives with and protects a rapist. Her actions are horrific. Another one. How many times must it be said . Actions speak louder than words. Donald trump said bad things about Hillary Rodham clinton, threatened me after bill clinton raped me. Wow. Is this where tonight is going, david . Bill, thanks for letting me speak. As you can see behind me, im not in st. Louis. Im in arizona which is a historically red state, and here senator john mccain and senator jeff flake, both republicans, have rejected donald trump. Theyre not going to vote for him. They say these comments he made are not just as boris suggested, something he can bat away with the back of his hand and say, well, thats that. They actually go to the core of who this man is. To go to your question about these tweets that donald trump is putting out, you have somebody, donald trump, who has actually been caught on tape bragging that he committed sexual assault, and now hes trying to say that an accusation thats incorrect, david. That is a lie. I let you talk, boris. Boris thats a lie. Hang on one second, boris. Boris, try the decaf and let me finish my sentence. Now sure, but dont lie. What happened here boris. What happened here is that david bosse, the Deputy Campaign manager of the Trump Campaign, wrote a failed book 20 years ago with a failed theory that all these things about bill clinton were true that have now been proven false. So what theyre trying to do like what, david . Gentlemen boris to boeth th of you this election will be decided by women. Here in arizona, donald trump is losing. Joule la ghoul lai believe he will no up bill clintons personal life. I think theres a possibility he will talk about Hillary Clintons situation. The things that she has said and have been reported in various books and magazines and other places about the women that bill clinton raped, sexually abused, and attacked. Boris, what do you know about that possibility . Well, listen, it was interesting what david just did too and it goes to what Rudy Giuliani was saying, the left led by Hillary Clinton have been trying to shame and swat away these women like anita broter ri broderick. David didnt address what she said i said theyre 850,000 to paula jones is not unsubstantiated. The way that Monica Lewinsky said shame stuck to her like tar. Hope it up, boris. I hope it goes there. I hope it does go there. Hang on. If it goes there this is what happens just answer a question, please. Sure, whats the question . If it happens tonight, how does she react to it . Shes going to react to it, i believe, the same way she did in the first debate. Shes going to let donald trump dig his own grave because when hes losing as badly as he is right now, hes the one who has to turn this around. Hes the one who has to actually show women in america that they can trust him, and i believe all she has to do is to let him try, and he will fail just like he failed in the first debate. David, thank you. Boris, thanks to you as well. The problem is thank you. Out of time, fellows. I hope you enjoy the decaf. Enjoy arizona which we will win. Things are hunkydory. There you go. In this story we go back to the hurricane issue. It has really been such a big story and loss of life is more extensive than people thought. At least 15 people are dead. Hundreds of people are still stranded out there from hurricane matthew. Almost half of the victims are in North Carolina where the storm hit later obviously in its track, but these people and their situation cannot be forgotten. Major relief efforts are under way in florida and South Carolina, in North Carolina as well as the postTropical Cyclone makes its way out to sea. Jonathan is live in charleston, South Carolina. How are things going there, jonathan . Reporter martha, what you see behind me is an example of the localized flooding that you will see in some of the lower lying areas of charleston. This block of ashley avenue still a little too deep to drive safely, but they have opened up traffic over here on broad street. It is flowing freely, albeit a little slower than usual. People not wanting to take any chances. Earlier today we sent up a drone to give you a shot of this neighborhood, an ariel perspective of the surrounding area. Because of charlestons low elevati elevation, the city has always been prone to flooding even during minor storms. Hurricane matthew produced a powerful storm surge in charleston harbor, the highest surge the harbor has seen since hurricane hugo in 1989. Now that the sun is out, the floodwaters are quickly recreedirecreeedin receding. The state counted its first stormrelated fatality after a car was swept away while trying to cross a flooded roadway. We cannot stress enough, if you see water on the roads, understand we dont know if theres power lines under there. We dont know whether that the road has fallen underneath. We dont know if its going to sweep you away and youre not going to be able to get out, but please, please, please take caution. And Governor Haley said statewide more than 750,000 South Carolina customers remain without power. Martha . All right. Jonathan, thank you very much. A lot of damage up in North Carolina as well, martha. Hillary Clintons Campaign also in damage control mode. Wikileaks releasing emails showing a very different Hillary Clinton than what has been shown on the trail. Well talk to the clinton team about all that in a moment. And Trumps Campaign trying to stop more gop lawmakers from abandoning ship. What comes next when we come back. His performance tonight and what happens in the next few weeks is important, and i think our republican colleagues just need to take a deep breath here and slow down.

Wikileaks releasing emails from Hillary Clintons Campaign Chairman john podesta including excerpts of clintons paid speeches that the campaign flagged as problematic. Here is what Rudy Giuliani said about this on fox news sunday. Watch. We have two Hillary Clintons which says we have a person who is a liar because thats what she is. I mean, over and over again. I mean, i can go through her 302s and Martha Stewart was prosecuted for one lie. I could have prosecuted her for ten. She didnt know c meant confidential . Come on, hillary, you can put that one over on somebody, but not me. So joining me now adam hodge, the Dnc Communications director. Adam, welcome. Good to have you here this morning. Rudy giuliani believes that the issues that plague your campaign are much more substantive than what theyre dealing with on the trump side. Lets just take a step back and remember that this has been a crime committed against the united states. The Intelligence Community came out on friday and said pointblank they think russia is attempted to hack our political system to try and influence the election and thats something that should offend anybody regardless of your party, and we still dont know whether these documents were, in fact, real. Its been common gsh so youre saying the Podesta Emails are not from him . Were looking into seeing if theyre real. They havent said theyre not. John podesta knows whether or not hes written them. Wikileaks says theyve only written 1 of the emails. Theres a lot more to come out. It seems if you wrote an email you would have known right off the bat we have seen they have put forth fake documents. I think we have to get to the bottom of whats real and whats fake. But it should trouble all americans that the russians are trying to influence our election. Theres two issues. There is that issue and the other issue is whats in them. Others believe the Clinton Campaign has had this stuff on donald trump and they wanted to drop it at the moment the wikileaks stuff came out so people would spend more time focusing on trump because its a more salacious story. What do you say to that . I dont think anybody proved the Clinton Campaign was behind the latest video which we all agree has been pretty despicable and just totally beyond the pale, but it speaks to the candidate donald trump has been from the day he stepped in this race where he called mexicans rapie isists and attacks the ju because of his mexican heritage. He questioned whether barack obama has born in the united states. Its part of a pattern. This is who donald trump is, and i dont think that anybody who is out there who is thinking about who theyre going to support in this election thinks that thats the person they want to be commander in chief what would you advise tonight . If donald trump does come out and bring up things like bill clintons sexual past with Monica Lewinsky, the oval office, all of that stuff, juanita broderick, paula jones, what would you advise her to say . Secretary clinton will speak for herself. If donald trump wants to continue keeping his campaign in the gutter, thats up to him. I think secretary clinton will continue doing what shes been doing since day one, talking about issues, talking about solutions, speaking to the voters directly. Thats what a town hall format actually is perfect for, expressing your vision, expressing how youre going to govern and thats what the American People are going to respond to tonight. What about she talks about how you need to have two different personas. If everybodys watching all the back room discussion, then people get nervous to say the least. You need both a a public and a private position. I think her position, public an private, has been b one u and the same. You look at, shes been clear from day one, that we need to crack down on banking. Two wall street executives closing the loophole. Those are all things that you say in public and she said in private. Because thats what she believes and that, shes been consistent from day one of this campaign and also backs up what she said when she was in the u. S. Senate. So, i think shes going to continue talking about the issues and talking about the solutions that people want to hear. Doubt her positions on open borders, which was cited. Shes been very clear about her support for comprehensive immigration. Thank you. Great to have you. Well be right back with more. Man i accept im not the deep sea fisherman i was. I accept im not out on the ocean wrestling marlin. I even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But i wont go after anything with less than my best. So if i can go for Something Better than warfarin, ill do that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of strokerin, better than warfarin. Plus, it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. Thats what i wanted to know. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and, in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. I may not be going for the big one, but im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. There is something mr. Giuliani said that was significant, which is that Hillary Clinton is in fact a flawed candidate, a deeply flawed candidate. So flawed in fact that i think the Democratic Party ought to be taking steps to replace her. For whatever reason, theyve not. The Democratic Party has chosen to be the party of a personality cult. Hillary clinton needs to be b defeated. We need a candidate that can do that. I would like the see the Republican Party identify such a candidate and make that change. Thats mike lee, the republican governor in ut u ut wishing for a redo of 2016. Senator lee did not support donald trump. He is one of several sitting republican senators who say he should have dropped out of the race. He will not get his wish according to mr. Trump. Hell be there tonight. Plane just left about 30 minutes ago from laguardia. With him tonight will be his entire family based on the list of names that went out o. His wife will be b there after a statement saying that she was offended by it, but she hopes that the attention of the country can move forward, accept his apology and get back to the issues. A lot of republicans are saying something similar, indeluding giuliani. They are always with him at all of these events ch but i think their presence has never been more important than it will be tonight, so watch melania, iva ivanka. B obviously, the Clinton Family will be there, so any discussion that gets into unsavory areas, its going more difficult in that intimate room with those families sitting there facetoface. Much more of this when we come back. Certainly do. Remember when you said men are superior drivers . Yeah. Yeah, then howd i get this. Allstate safe driving bonus check .

Com controversy rocking both of these president ial campaigns. Setting up an epic second show odown tonight between Hillary Clinton and donald trump in beautiful st. Louis. Welcome, everybody. Brandnew hour of americas news room. Live at the site of tonights debate at Washington University. Im in studio j in new york city. Good afternoon, everybody. Washington university is ready to go. It will be in National Spotlight tonight. Eight hours from now, in fact, the stage is set for the second face off. The second is of three. The next one will be las vegas on the 19th of october with Chris Wallace. It has been a wild 48 hours on the trail. That was yesterday in new york city outside of trump tower, where a defiant donald trump greeted supporters. He now faces a bitterly divided gop with many lawmakers who had come over to his side, now changing their tune after the lewd comments he made were revealed. They were made back in 2005. Former new york city mayor, rue di giuliani, says donald trump will weather this because he says he has to. Youre looking at a man thats gone through 14 months of running for president. Understands the weight on his shoulder of all these people who voted for him, whonl in him, who believe hes really has a movement to try to change this country. They have outsiders trying to take him back from the insiders who have been running it and in many case, ruining it for quite some time. The point we make is he has apologized for this and we believe he can get to the issues, b hes the candidate that is much better suited to run the country than Hillary Clinton. Brett is anchor of special report and will anchor our debate coverage. Good morning to you. Big night. Is the understatement of the day. Unbelievable. Over here at the debate hall, sorriry i konlt make it back. We had to go inside and get bethe scenes. This is the town hall format. Washington university has played host to the most debates of any other site. They have three president ials in the past and one Vice President ial debate. But arguably, they have never seen a debate like were going to see tonight. With the past 48 hours and all that has transpired, this is going to be fascinating to see how both candidates deal with the revelation, dont forget, there are other revelations that have come out about the wick ki leaks email, there have been tweets from donald trump linking to a very emotional interview with juanita broderick, whos accused bill clinton of sexually assaulting her years ago, but all of this is flying around, setting toup this debate and i just, you cant overstate how explosive that could be. Obviously, hes going to have to manage that issue. This videotape and in a way that allows him to address it more successfully perhaps than he did other night. People felt he wasnt contrite enough in the statement he made and didnt mention his wife for one thing. Shes going to be sit ng there today, but he has always been better when he makes it about the issues, the American People. About the country. About his vision for the future. So hes got to figure out a way to do that. That has been the challenge for donald trump. Is not to get drawn into the details of the defense, but he has to go down that road tonight after all of the reaction across the board. To that audio tape from access hollywood. Even his supporters who were not completely pleased with the apology that he issued on tape already. So, expect that to be a big part. The interesting thing will be how Hillary Clinton deals with it. And whether she brings it up, goes on the offense or stands back and lets you know, everything evolve. The x factor here is that this is a town hall and you have to interact with people and really connect oneonone. The best people at it. Former mr. Bill clinton was one of the best in this setting. Well see how these two do tonight with these extraordinary circumstances. And you saw the inside of the debate hall. It is very intimate in there. You think about the chairs of the 40 people. Now about half as many people sitting in the actual questioning area. When you think about how big and explosive the stories are were dealing with and imagine them reverberating against the people and walls of that small space, it is a fascinating political moment. And listen, its also the nonverbal exchanges that have happened in this have debate hall. The stuff caught on camera that affects a debate or the per sepg of it. Remember h. W bush looking at his watch, that was here. Where al gore walks across to then governor bush and gets in his face. That happened here. And so, the nonverbal camera shots and the reaction to what is going to be just, it has to be explosive talk on all sides. Because if donald trump is saying what hes going to do via twitter, which is go down the allegations and past of bill clinton and then Hillary Clinton, what she had said about those women who were making the allegations, this thing, who knows what happen, martha. It could go off the rails really quickly. Hes also going to have to be somewhat respectful of her. The damage thats been done with women voters could be refleck nd the way he treats her, so hes got to go after her, but make sure he doesnt lose anything in terms of how he looks at her or how he squawks at her. All that nonverbal stuff you see in the town hall environment is very powerful and i dont know as a brandnew politician relatively, thats something hes mastered. Right. That will be you know, part of the whole deal. Hes obviously been on tv a lot of his life, so he recognizes the camera and the reaction to it. You know, as we talk about many time, this position as a changed election. Look at the polls and antiestablishment, the feeling across the country and the ability to say were the candidate, the problem now is that whether donald trump can get over convincing people that he is that change. And he can actually be in the oval office. Its a much more uphill battle today than it was even two days ago where the polls before this moment were going the opposite direction for the Trump Campaign. Yes. When you think about the conversations we had going into the first debate, it was a completely different feeling. Sort of like the window was at his back, so we could be surprised tomorrow morning when we look back on tonight, but who knows. Its anybodys ball game, so well see. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing your reporting as youre anchoring this evening. The Hillary Clinton challenge in this, donald Trump Supporters encouraging their nominee to fight back against Hillary Clinton, saying keep the focus on her record. Well, a former adviser to bill clinton and katie pave lisch is the newed editor for townhall. Com. You how doing . Fine. Happenty sunday. To you as well shlgs my dear. Steven meisters writes on foxnews. Com. Trump needs to lay off the side showishes. No one cares about a former miss america or rosie odonnell. Those issues will escape voters minds faster than hillary can delete 30,000 emails. Move on, donald. Weve talked a lot about trump today. What does she need to do tonight . What is her mission . Well, we have new news that Hillary Clinton has two different personalities. So, again, here we are in another debate where Hillary Clinton is going to have to convince the American People that shes experienced, not an elitist or washington insider. I think thats going to be difficult pr for her. The other thing, too, this is a Town Hall Forum and in the past, weve seen Hillary Clinton get defensive when it comes to regular people asking her questions about her own behavior. For example, there was a navy veteran who questioned her previous town hall saying look, if i had done what i with my emails or any kind of class if fied information when i was in the navy without security clearance, i would be in prison. Why do you get a pass . I think Hillary Clinton has to do a good job of not getting defensive when it comes to questions about things she thinks should have been out of the news cycle a long time ago. Interesting. Doug, you know her well. What does she need to do . First thing is stay above the fray. There is no reason for her to get into any sort of salacious conversations with donald trump or the audience. She needs to talk about her vision for the future and she needs to talk about how she can connect with ordinary people. And why shes best suited to be president. The first rule do you agree with katies analysis there, that sometimes, she gets in trouble and goes on the defensive in these ive certainly seen it happen, bill. But given Donald Trumps own problems, i think secretary clintons advisers will tell her over and over, be effomp thetic warm, stick to the issues and do not, do not get into a gutter fight with donald trump. First rule of politics is when your adversary is selfdestruct, stay out of the way and that would be the advice i would give the secretary. Back to the quote i just read. Stop swallowing the bait. He took the bait at hofstra. She mentioned him by name three times in the first eight to ten minutes and she was effective in getting under his skin. Yeah. I think people say thaw, clearly. Donald trump certainly tonight has to pivot away from that. One of his greatest strengths is that he connects with every day people. We saw that as these rallies. So, instead of taking the bait and paying attention to how many times she brings him up in the attack shes going to lob against him in that town hall setting. He has to look the people in the eye, this is why i can help you and your family. Although the venue tonight in st. Louis is small, there will be millions of people again, hundreds maybe, 100 million when you add in the people watching online, watching thg debate, so he has to connect the regular person while he ignores what Hillary Clinton is saying. Its not about him. Its about what he can do for other people. He has you know, his son likes to call him the billion dollar blue collar billionaire. He does, doug, has that ability to relate to every day people. You can see him on the trail. When he does that. I can see it yesterday outside trump tower. He has a delicate challenge. Hes got to relate to every day people. Talk about the future. But hes got to be contrite. Because given what has come out, if he doesnt show some degree of understanding that this is unu palatable and unacceptable, there will be more defections and his candidacy will get more perilous. Talking about the high fives. Thank you both. Enjoy tonight. Thank you. Theyll analyze tomorrow. See you then. All right, more on Hillary Clintons latest challenge heading into tonights debate after the release of thousands more emails reveal excerpts of her paid speeches to wall street firms. Bernie sanders wanted to get a look at those. She talks about a public versus private position and why its important to have both. Something her Campaign Strongly denies. Theyre not opposed again, you could pull a few words out of con tek, but what she said on this Campaign Trial was she will be tough on wall street and thats exactly what shell do. His emails are the ones that have come out. Mike emanuel is here in st. Louis with us. So, mike, what are you hear frg the clinton camp about this . Well, seeb ynior clinton aid have said they want had had her first real reaction to be on the stage tonight with a huge audience watching to try and maximize the moment her Campaign Chairman was asked about the latest trump controversy on fx news sunday. Its disgusting and i think people saw in real life what weve been seeing for a long time, what hillary said as far back as june is hes unfit to be president of the united states. The clinton strategy this weekend has been allowing republicans to talk about donald trump for those who say they were no longer supporting him and to stay out of the way. Until tonight. So, what did clintons run mate say today about chashlgs hes been saying Different Things when behind closed doors. She took a lot of heat pr saying wall street would be best to regulate itself. Also, reportedly telling a Brazilian Bank she favors open trade and open borders and her running mate was asked about all that. Im glad you asked it that way because i dont think we can dignify documents dumped by wick leaks and assume theyre accurate and true. Anybody who hacks in to get documents is completely capable of manipulating they will. Clinton is due to land here any moment now. Expected to do more debate prep, relax and then the showdown here in the show me state. Thank you, mike. With all the controversy surrounding both campaign, tonights debate will be huge. And it could swing some of the more important swing states. Well take a look at the race to 270. Larry is crunching some numbers. Well talk to the good doctor in a moment about that. And i got a chance to speak with some students here on campus. What theyre saying about the election, about the debate and the race for the white house. But first, bill oreillys advice for donald trump from last nights show. Trump has got to be feisty, but not mean. He should have those two words. Feisty, but not mean because the folks are going to be survey rond iing him. Its different than the other ke bait. Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. Here you go. Picking up for kyle. You wouldnt put up with part of a pizza. Um. Something wrong . So when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day . You want the whole thing . Yes, yes live whole. Not part. Aleve. Drywall into my i cmercedesbenz metris. Of to get 60 sheets of drywall into my small van, i invented the foldomatic 5000. The new mercedesbenz metris worker. Hauls more. Stows more.

Communication. Like centurylinks Broadband Network that gives 35,000 fans a cutting edge game experience. Or the network that keeps a leading hotel chains guests connected at work, and at play. Or the it platform that powers millions of ecards every day for one of the largest greeting card companies. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. Today is the day. Were in the final countdown now to the second president ial debate, which happens here in st. Louis, so, what do some of the students here think about donald trump and Hillary Clinton and the controversy of the election season. I found out when i talked to them yesterday. My take on that is that theres always going to be shady things that happen in politics and you cant really ever escape it. Whether its someone saying negative b about women or someone not their taxes. Always some sort of secrecy because everyone has secrets. No one is perfect. At the same time, thats not necessarily something that should stop you from electing someone to be president. Theres one thats apologized and i think for most people, we see donald trump has not acknowledged his mistakes. He has not gave a a very sincere apology. Look at the one last night. It was immediately p pushing the blame on to someone else and that means a lot to us. Those two young women are hillary supporters, although the one on the left said she had been on the fence for a long time, but some of this sort of pushed her over towards hillarys side. They run a business here on campus. Very bright young women. A lot of hillary support in general, but it is a little depress ng a way to hear all of these young people saying yeah, thats just the way politics is. We dont really expect much more than that from politicses. We have on the battleground states now, weve allocated votes to Hillary Clinton. 270 is the mark you need to get to. See a rot of states in yellow the director of virginias center for politics. I was on your website, the crystal ball. You are more aggressive than we are. Youve got her well above 300. How come . That is correct. Hes at 315 and frankly, the way this videotape controversy is playing out, shes probably going to go higher than that. At least for the temporary period of time until these things wear off, in f they do. Okay, you want to have some fun . Pardon me . Want to have some fun . Sure. Im always up for fun with maps. Youve got 30 day, right . Some of this can change. Some battlegrounds are still tight. You were right though, that all the scenarios that are laid out, she has an easier path to 270. You agree with that, right in. Much easier. So, what does trump do . You study georgia. If he can win there. Out here in arizona perhaps. Up until about a week ago right, he had a lead in nevada. I dont think you would dispute u that. Probably also in the state of iowa as well. Then you come back to the east coast and you know, if he has a chance of filling in the map, there is a scenario where he could do that and it would be not an easy order here. It would be florida. Ohio. Now, youre at 250, so hes got 20 more to go, so where would he pick those up . Maybe North Carolina stays republican. If it does, hes, its just about five away, so this is a little bit of the balance were going to try to figure out. How do you see that thousand . Yeah, you can do it in a very simple way if you want. You can say since obama carried ohio, florida and pennsylvania, three really big states, if he keeps all the romney states, that includes North Carolina and flips those three big states, florida, ohio, pennsylvania, boom. Hes at 273. He can do it another way. Hes got a rust belt strategy. Got a lot of support among blue collar workers, disproportionately concentrated in the rust belt. So, ohio, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. And say he loses one of those states. Well, there are some small states that could combine to help him. I agree with you. Hes ahead in iowa, nevada is very close. And there was one poll that had clinton up only three in New Hampshire. So, you know, you can construct all these things yourn map or in my head and we enjoy doing it, but of course, the reality sometimes is very different. Last point here, you noticed a shift after the first debate, did you not . Very much. What did you come up with after that . Well, essentially, it pushed clinton from a a minimum. We had her at 273. Over the 300 mark. We had her at 315. Lets see what happens tonight. You know, the pressures really on truch. The act of contrition and then taking the case to hillary just to keep party stable. Doesnt want any more defections. Maybe he does. This debate almost never the second debate attracts more people than the first. Well, this year has been an exception to every rule. We may be on the verge of another rule breaking. May get more people tonight than for the first one. Zpl wow, that would be north of 85 million. Correct. Possible. I think the its possible. Absolutely think its b possible. Thank you, larry. Nice to have you. Thank you, bill. Back the to st. Louis and martha. Got his work cut out for him as he prepares to go to battle. Yes, hes been preparing and all this recent developments has got to have broken the plans of that he had to focus on certain other issues, so its going to be an interesting evening. Hes going to have a very difficult challenge, but the man is tall epted and strong, courageous. One of his biggest supporter, Jeff Sessions. What will he say, how will he tackle the issue . It could be the very first question out of the the gate tonight. Now the debate just hours away. Washington university in st. Louis.

Hes going to apologize for what he did and count on the fact that the American People are fair and decent people and when someone asks for forgiveness, they usually give it and reality is this is not the man then. This is not the man that ran for president for a year and a half and has learned the tremendous concern it is the American People have. That is donald trump adviser, former new york city mayor, Rudy Giuliani. The leaked video will likely come up in first question. The moderators deciding how to go there, it has to be handled and clinton will get the first question. So, howard kurtz, welcome. What do you think about that . I think its the only journalistic decision because otherwise, it will hang like a shadow over the debate. It also means once donald trump steps up to address it, this whole debate could be decided in those first few minutes. How he handles that. Can he get beyond it as they will inevitably turn to more serious issues, but its going to be a huge tonight because no in addition to the donald trump reality show and people want to see him face up against Hillary Clinton, also got sex and videotapes and all that. So, you know, for the moderators, who are moderators and not questioners, if he say you know, look, it was a onetime thing. Is is it t incumbent on them to is it . Are there more things out there . Do they need to go there or no . Theres a balancing act here because you dont, you have to danger of overkill. Especially were two days out from the stuff on Hillary Clinton that has a lot of stunning stuff about what she said to these wall street firms, they cant appear only to be asking aggressive questions donald trump. At the same time, its not a onequestion thing. There has to be some follow ups and its probably good for trump to be able to take this on head on. Before the debate, but clearly, when you read the headlines tomorrow, this is going to dominate. Do you think mediawise, it would have been wise to do something yesterday to diffuse the attention and address it in a sitdown interview or short speech . He didnt decide to take that opportunity and there are indications there are some in his camp who wanted him to do that yesterday. The staff was divided on this and it would have been a risk had donald trump pulled that off, he would have taken some of the edge off and it would be easier into tonight here. On oh hand, if he made it worse, it could have made the situation worse, so i guess cautious approach. Lets go to the bigger media picture here. These tapes and perhaps more to come. From the apprentice from what were hearing. News organizations. Perhaps having these tapes or knowing about these tapes and deciding to drop them at certain moments. The ethics of that. Well, nbc had a lot of explaining to do. Nbc news will say look, we didnt control the inventory of the tapes for the apprentice. Access hollywood is part of the entertainment division, fine, but how is it we look through this campaign r for nearly a year and a half, they knew there were events like this. Some convince coincidence this surfaces now. The original access hollywood plan was to deal with it on monday because theres no weekend show. Somebody, whoever the anonymous source is, didnt want to wait. I can only surmise wanted the timing to be before the debate and therefore, drop the, giving that footage to the washington post, so a lot of questionable motivations here and billy bush, cohost of the today show, apologizing, looking very bad for the way he played along. Theres a lot swirling around, not just trump, not just clinton, but nbc and bush as well. Indeed, there is. The people will be asking questions to you to be the, so, in terms of the moderator, they have to sort of walk that line. Do they interject, follow up on someones question from the audience . Right. Before all this exploded, Hillary Clinton has a little bit of an advantage because she has more experience. You have to really kind of feel and address peoples concerns and look them in the eye. At the same time, its probably the hardest kind of debate to moderate because youve got a whole list of questions you want to get to and people ask about issues and how they affect a their lives. Theres opportunity for the moderator to follow up, but you dont want to do that too often. Thank you very much. Well watch with great interest tonight and talk to you about it tomorrow. Thank you. Back to you in new york. Thank you, martha. This is the issue, downgraded, but still dangerous. Hurricane matthew, now a Tropical Cyclone headed back out into the atlantic ocean, the storm leaving at least 15 dead here in the u. S. And hundreds in haiti. Amid the devastation, officials are urging people to remain cautious on the roads and around their homes if you see water on the road, understand we dont know if theres powerlines under there. We dont know whether that, the road has fallen underneath. We dont know if its going to sweep you away, but please, please take caution. We dont want to keep seeing senseless fatal tas. Thats nickty hailey, the republican governor of South Carolina. Rob, youre at a scene thats very familiar with savannah. How does it look . Yeah, especially this kind of scene behind me, more common as you get closer to the water further east of downtown savannah. This is a tree, there are huge trees like this all over. Theyre beautiful here in georgia and South Carolina, but they have a very weak root system and in category 2 hurricane, a lot of these game down. It took the power pole and lines with it. This neighborhood is in the dark. There are about 200,000 customers in georgia who are in the dark as well. And just up the road, about 20 miles from here is hilton head, South Carolina. Right across the border. Right across the savannah river. We tried to go there today because hilton head took the eye of this storm. We just got sideswiped. Couldnt get in, but found hundreds of people on the side of the highway waiting to get into hilton head. Some have been there for 24 hours. Just sitting on the side of the road waiting for police and officials to let them finally go back home after the storm. You know, rob, there are four dead in georgia. And i understand youre at the scene of one of those deaths last night. What did you see . Well, that was a really heartbreaking story. Went into this neighborhood, really great people in this neighborhood and they told us a gentleman had stayed back his family had evacuated. Two little kids and wife had taken off. He stayed with the house and a massive pine tree. Show you the picture. Trunk of this tree was how so huge, came right down on the house and landed on the master bedroom, killing that man. Somewhere in his 40s. His neighbors talked about getting a phone call from this wife that morning they found him telling him, hey, go check on the house. I havent heard from my husband. I was on the phone with jc. And i saw a tree on house and i told her that, theres a tree on your house. Doesnt look bad. And then i walked around the corner and i could tell, i told her wed have to call her back. He was a really great father. Spent a lot of time with his kids take iing them up and downe street, going to the pool all the time. Really just a sad story and really indicates how much you need to take these warnings seriously when these evacuation orders go into ekt. That storm brought in fierce winds and record storm surges. Were hearing tonight theyre going to let people come back into savannah around 5 00 p. M. Its tough for a home own owner to get up and leave. Thank you. Back to st. Louis now. Thats an awful, awful story. So, we are here live in st. Louis at Washington University and it is countdown time to clinton versus trump in what may be the most important moment of this campaign yet, the battle thats about to get underway. Donald trump has a lot on his plate tonight as he tries to turn the ship around amid growing controversy. So, what does he need to do here tonight at Washington University . To accomplish that. Well talk to a trump supporter, but first, here is bill oreilly. Its a different kind of dynamic. Youre talking to a camera than a human being. So, hes got to show charm, some personality. But hes got to be tough. With the right steps, 80 of recurrent ischemic strokes could be prevented. And im doing all i can to help prevent another one. A bayer aspirin regimen is one of those steps in helping prevent another stroke. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Ive never been 1 in anything until i put these babies on. Now were on a winning streak and im never taking them off. Do i know where im going . Absolutely. Were going to the playoff. Allstate guarantees your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Starting the day you sign up. So get accident forgiveness from allstate. And be better protected from mayhem, like me. Cartels, militias, terrorist groups. They all need a place to park their cash and cherna is their dirty little piggy bank. Were going to insert into the country while nobody is looking. Were going to steal their money, sir . No, we are going to destroy it. Were going to finish this mission. Anything we find is ours. Do you want to trust a bunch of black water marks . I mean the rush, ive never felt anything like it. If we stay here were going to die. Then we die. One of many pieces in my i havlife. Hma. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for 12 months free at mybreo. Com. President ial debate number two is at this site. Just over about seven hour frts now. It will get underway after a tumt couple of days for donald trump. What does he need to do to get ahead of this 2005 leaked video . Here is former governor, mike huckabee. What he said he did 11 years ago, its deplorable, but unlike Hillary Clinton who thinks people are deplorable, its what we do, it doesnt mean people are or are ir redeemable. He needs to say look, i did a terrible thing, it was inexcuse bable and it was and then take that off the table. A trump support e radio talk show host and conservative columnist. Good to have you with us today. What do you think he needs to do tonight . Just really level with the American People. Be really honest. Speak from his heart. My background is in psychology, i think everybody in their life has done something they regret. Talks about what hes gone through through and has shaped him as a candidate because having been a candidate myself and having gone through elections with my husband with my husband, who was a senator here in missouri, i know that campaigns teach you a lot about yourself and some is not very pretty. It can be humbling and i think if he answers questions like that, he can tap that part of america that loves to forgive. Whats your sense you know as someone who speaks for the campaign, of whats going on inside the campaign . There are a lot of stories this morning, a lot of disagreement that hes depressed one of them said. You know, any credence in those and whats your experience . My experience is that this is his sweet spot. When he is down, weve seen it how much times has everyone said hes done and when hes down, this is when he comes back. He blazes back. I fully expect him to be at his absolute best tonight and not only think, this may have been a tactful error on the part of the clintons. Not sure they wanted all of the things that happened with bill and all of the cover ups and really desecration of the women he abused in the clinton administration. Not sure hillary wanted to talk about that. And mr. Trump didnt bring it up. Shes left him with no choice now. You think he should go there tonight . You know, i would defer to him on that. I think hell make the right choice on this. If he does, i think hell talk about the fact that look at the women whthat hillary never defended. The 12yearold rape victim, defended the child sexual predator. Said terrible things about this poor woman whos still out there. Then you take all of the women that bill clinton assaulted in various ways and the fact Hillary Clintons spent 100,000 of real money trying to dig up dirt on these women just to make their lives more horrible than they were. You look at that and think there are words and anchors and which is more damaging. It comes down to the issues. She wants open borders. Wants open trade. She said that to goldman sachs. Admitted, you wont believe the things, what i really need is what im saying to you now. You know, from a campaign perspective, a lot probably makes good sense. But the women who flif the suburbs in philadelphia, cincinnati, these are the women frankly, people like you and me. Theyre mom, educated and many are independent voters who have been on the fence and theyve gone back and forth a few times in the polls. Thats who he needs to convince. So when you look at the content, he has to get past that moment. If he can. And what he talks about in it. Some people are calling that that hes condoning assaults. So, what does he need to say about the words he uses and vulgarity of the comments in order to put those women in those areas at ease . I think those women are probably concerned about the sam things you and i are concerned about. Theyre worried about the College Graduates going to be able to get a job. That open borders mean someone in their family dieded. Theyre worried about the tragedy going on overseas that Hillary Clinton had facilitated, taking hundreds of millions of dollars from the clints foundation from fovr governments that are very hostile was. Those kinds of things as a mother, hes and no one sighed. The president hes going to be he can articulate those thoughts, maybe hell do well tonight, so as a supporter, im sure hes listening. Thank you very much. Good to have you with us today. You bet, 1 00 there in st. Louis, our showdown tonight, only seven hours away.

Ted cruz, a former rival tweeted this out. Nbc had this tape 11 years, the apprentice producer says they have more and worse. Why not release in 2015 or march. Why wait until october. Mainstreambias. He starts to right the ship if he has a good night. You can hear a lot about this coming from politicians on the right from the Republican Party. Youre absolutely right. We talked with hallie about that. If there was at any point a decision to sit on any i of the video and not release it until a certain moment in the campaign, you have the possibility that certain outlets may have tried to manipulate voter p minds by releasing it at a certain moment, so it is a question and it is out there and as you say, ted cruz raised it in the tweet and something that i think people will want to know the answer to.
