mattering, but i do think that she is able to reveal a side of him or talk about a side of him that most people don t see and the line she had about how she sometimes says she has two sons at home, i think for people who are just making up their mind for those undecideds who are especially, you know, suburban moderate women, they might find that appealing. alice, based on what you saw today, do you wish she had been out there earlier? again, i think she s a very effective spokesperson. i think she s a very credible spokesperson. she softens him up quite a bit. she s looking at that tape, you can see, she s very strong, yet she brings on a softer side to donald trump. she s able to put a face on this story that he s not able to do. i think one thing i think i would have cautioned her when she talks about it s boy talk and he says it s locker room talk. well, this was a grown man in a professional situation. i think the best thing that she said was saying that he has apologized to me
comments caught on tape. they were kind of boy talk and he was led on, egged on from the host to say dirty and bad stuff. we ll have more on melania trump s interview in just a minute. let s begin with cnn s senior political reporter manu raju. good morning. reporter: good morning, carol. donald trump attacking paul ryan renewing those attacks against the house speaker saying that the house speaker actually may be motivated against him to preserve his own political future. this is all part of donald trump s efforts to paint the political establishment and the rules of the election against him saying that he is a victim of an unfair system. they even want to try to rig the election at the polling booths. people that have died ten years ago are still voting.
some of these politicians? while the candidate was bashing the mainstream media for rigging the election, the wife giving interviews to the mainstream media. addressing the 2005 access hollywood tape publicly for the very first time. wonder if they even knew that the mike was on because they were kind of a boy talk and he was led on, like egg on from the host to say dirty and bad stuff. and breaking this morning, releasing new e-mails from inside the clinton campaign. we re getting our first look at just who else secretary clinton was considering for vice president. it s a list of three dozen names including many who have never been in government. nbc s katy tur joins me on the phone now from colorado. nbc s jacob rascon is in colorado springs as well.
inappropriate. it s not acceptable. and i was surprised because that is not the man that i know. and as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on, it was only a mike. and i wonder if they even knew that the mike was on because they were kind of boy talk and he was lead on, like egged on from the host to say dirty and bad stuff. you feel the host, billy bush, was egging him on? yes. yes. is that language you had heard him use before? no. no. that s why i was surprised, because i said, like i don t know that person that would talk that way. he described it as locker
wouldn t be in this position today. but instead, he went on the national debate and he basically called, you know, himself a liar saying, no, i never did this to any woman. and now we have, you know, depending on whose count it is, 9, 12, who knows how many women out there. it is hard to keep count of them who have come forward to say, yes, in fact, he did act this way. and frankly, i find melania s saying that this is all boy talk and that she blames billy bush and she blames howard stern, i m sorry, melania was on the howard stern show with donald trump in 1999 telling mr. stern that she was wearing almost nothing and then bragging about how many times a day she and donald have sex. so, you know, this idea that she is this paragon of rectitude and would never want her husband to be doing these things flies in
