disaster. >> donald says he knows more about isis than the generals. no, he doesn't. >> people like her, we have a divided nation. she has tremendous hate in her heart. >> right. as i recall, that was something i said about abraham lincoln. >> and she lied. now she's blaming the lie on the late great abraham lincoln. that's one that i haven't -- okay. honest abe. never lies. >> he wants to start, he can start. go ahead, donald. >> no. i'm a gentleman, hillary. go ahead. ♪ i feel terrible. was the debate last night? i thought it was tonight. >> brian is joking. he was texting throughout the debate saying what did you think of that and that? steve is live in st. louis covering from pa that perspective. >> that's right. the party is over. everybody is sleeping in except lee. we have one guy, lee. take a bow. only trump will beat isis. >> slow-building crowd. >> it's so funny when you're out there covering it the day of, there's tight security, the campus, all the kids are out there. all the college students. >> believe me, there is tight security. there are 75 guys looking at lee right now. >> afraid to pat him down. >> good to know. you can't get too close to steve doocy. >> we have so many different angles to talk about. >> what a show. the show. the 95-minute show, went a little bit over with two moderators, the town hall format. donald trump who had his pre-press conference with the four accusers of bill clinton there. the tension was extremely high. >> yes. the debate lasted seven minutes past the hour and a half it was supposed to last. many people weren't sure if donald trump could recover. personally, i thought he did a great job. what did you think, steve? >> well, i thought donald trump won. after he had a couple of bad weeks out and about and it didn't look that way going in, because if you noticed as soon as they met on the stage, they didn't really meet on the stage. they were just on the same stage. they never shook hands. you could tell the tension was absolutely there. because donald trump, everybody knew he was going to apologize. how big an apology was it going to be. not only did he apologize and address the issue about the hot mike with billy bush, who by the way, apparently has been suspended by nbc. he went on to talk about hillary clinton's husband who raped a woman. here's all that in 1:26. >> this was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i apologize to my family. i apologize to the american people. certainly, i'm not proud of it. but this is locker room talk. >> like everyone else, i spent a lot of time thinking over the last 48 hours about what we heard and saw. you know, with prior republican nominees for president, i disagreed with them on politics, policies, principles. but i never questioned their fitness to serve. donald trump is different. i said starting back in june that he was not fit to be president and commander in chief. >> if you look at bill clinton, far worse, minor words an his was action. his was what he's done to women. there's never been anybody in the history of politics and this nation that's been so abusive to women. so you can say anyway you want to say it, but bill clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton a takttacked th same women. four of them here tonight. i will tell you that when hillary brings up a point like that and she talks about words that i said 11 years ago, i think it's disgraceful and i think she should be ashamed of herself if you want to know the truth. >> that was the moment everyone was wondering how -- after the taped piece where he apologized how he was going to handle it. the moderators got to it right away. i thought he was calm. his delivery was even throughout the 95 minutes. i thought if you could handle that question, bring on taxes. that's pretty much made it clear, i think everybody else made it clear, he was not going to snap and implode. it was game on. steve, we also talked about the technique of taking a question in and then ending with how you wanted to end it. he also showed he had that skill. he didn't really demonstrate that at hofstra at all. he did it in the first question there. >> it was very good. he was listening to his debate coach and it sounds like he had a bunch of them. whatever the question was, he would answer it in 20 seconds and spend the next 1:40 redirecting to talk about something he wanted to talk about. >> he said right out of the gate, first question, i hope he apologizes and addresses that hot mike issue. he started, though, talking about policy and what he wants to do differently. he talked about obamacare the iran deal, trade, stronger borders, law and order. he said i want to make america great again. after that, that's when he apologized. he said it was wrong, it was locker room talk, we heard it. i apologize to my family. it's embarrassing. what was telling to me, they never brought it up again. it's almost like america has already moved on from this in many ways. i know it was an awful comment. all my women friends are appalled by that. maybe he can bounce back from this because it was very telling that they never brought it up again later in the debate. >> as long as there's no more tapes. any more tapes, there's rumors -- this was a rumor before it happened, ainsley. the other thing, the stuff that we're seeing about mark burnett saying anyone who says -- show me 8 million bucks. david brock saying i'll give you millions of dollars if you give us some of these tapes. so if there are more tapes or in howard stern shows, it will be a fascinating 29 days. i thought the moment that meant the most was after the debate when mike pence tweeted his full support. because you know the indiana newspaper had that story that he was ready to drop out. if he had dropped out, i don't care what happened in the debate. it was over. he'll be joining us later in the show. >> the abe lincoln comment, too, we haven't talked about that this morning. we'll be talking about that for the next three hours. she was pretty clever because that was not planned. he didn't know that. came back with abe lincoln was honest abe and you're lying. >> sure. listen, we've got two honest guys on the set with us. john roberts and mike emanuel. listen, it was tense with the trump people over the last couple of days. >> i'll tell you. >> how are they reacting? >> worst nightmare come true leading into this debate. you want bad information to get out there, damage a candidate, get it out there a couple of days before a very important debate. you wonder how the debate would have gone if that was not an issue. donald trump seemed far more, if not prepared, more ready to use his preparations on the debate stage. didn't miss many opportunities. maybe one when hillary clinton was talking about energy independence. he could have gone after her to say the reason why is because of the fracking revolution. you'd like to reign that back in. in the overall, once he got past that horribly messy beginning and all the questions that he needed to come up with an answer for, i thought he did much better here than back at hofstra. >> on the other side, hillary clinton did not have a good night. >> she was on the defensive for a lot of things. had to answer about obamacare. had the accusers, her husband's accusers in the audience and her campaign. i think that was designed to rattle her. they said it didn't rattle her. they were ready for that. she told reporters on the flight back to new york it was about what she expected in terms of the debate. she was asked about the roaming donald trump. there was a lot of buzz about that. she said it was a small stage. she was aware he was moving around. it was a challenging night. so you think her campaign is going to look ahead to the chris wallace debate to see if they can turn it around. >> you mentioned the buzz. did they talk about the fact that a fly landed on her head for a little bit? >> i saw that picture. i've not heard feedback about that. >> you've never had a fly land on your forehead? >> we're out in the woods for two days. i' there. ainsley and brian, you have questions for john and mike. >> i thought it was interesting before the debate, i got all these messages on my phone. fox news alert, donald trump was having a press conference with all the ladies accusing bill clinton. he did that to remind everyone who is watching that the open mike thing is one thing. these were women he paid one woman $850,000. kathleen wily was whether who he allegedly groped in the oval office and another one he who accused him of rape. she was ape raped at 12 years old and hillary clinton represented as a defense attorney the rapist. they were all sitting in the debate hall watching this debate. then i -- the camera pans over, there's bill clinton and their daughter chelsea. that had to rattle her if she's up on stage and sees these women. >> not as much as it would have ainsley if the initial plan gone through. the initial plan was to seat them in the family box on the trump side of things. the folks who were in charge of the commission on presidential debates said that's not going to happen. they sat in the audience. you know, you got to wonder, how is this going to play with independent women. they look at this and say, you know what, donald trump is right. we should hold hillary clinton accountable for what her husband did in the '830s and '90s or will they say he overplayed his hand here. another cliche, that remains to be seen in the days ahead. >> whether or not it will work -- >> go ahead. >> uncomfortable moments for both families. you're hearing about his video with billy bush and so i'm sure that was uncomfortable for his daughter and for his wife. >> right. >> and then for former president clinton, it must have been very uncomfortable to see the women in the room. >> uh-oh. what are they doing here? >> the campaign did complain. you can't let them in the front row. oh, yeah, they were seated. >> they were initially going to try to shake bill clinton's hand when he came in. >> whoa, what a photo-op. >> we pretty much covered it. we'll change topics for the rest of the show. thanks a lot. >> all right. guys, stay right there. when we come back from st. louis and new york, let me tell you what's straight ahead. donald trump taking on hillary clinton last night over who needs to apologize more. and rattled not only hillary clinton but her staffers who took things a little too personally. wait until you see the tweet making headlines. >> oh, it's bad. >> tucker carlson weighs in. he's never heard words like this before. he might be rattled. what if one piece of kale could protect you from diabetes?

i'm representing the most qualified person ever to breathe air against mentally deficient fascist, why are we in the polls. they don't understand it's not about trump. it's about the frustrations of the american middle class. because they don't get it, it's inexplicab inexplicable. >> steve, and tucker, as you know, he quickly apologized saying that doesn't represent us, they apologized. the other question was, after donald trump tried to get past the hot mike moment, which i think he effectively did, could hillary get past the e-mail moment and would donald trump be prepared to take her on? i think the answer is yes. listen. >> the thing that you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 e-mails that you deleted. if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> pretty good at sniping. >> at that moment, they told tucker and everyone not to clap. the only time you could clap is when the candidates came out. the crowd went crazy. anderson cooper was like, stop yelling. they liked that comment. >> here's what you need to know. we went into the debate last night with the presumption that donald trump should be ashamed. his running mate and his wife among man others issued statements denouncing him. shouldn't hillary clinton be ashamed? the merits of it all, you can decide for yourself. he changed the topic of the debate. whenever you're in control of what we talk about, you are winning the conversation. period. so his campaign, which was supposed to end during the debate, is still going, it's a victory. >> going to vegas, he put all his chips on red. if he did a bad job yesterday, it was going to be -- >> it was over. >> it was over. even his campaign, even people who ho worked for him said this is the final stop of the trump train unless he can change -- >> tucker, what did he do differently in this debate that he didn't do in the first debate? >> he dominated it. he took a series of questions and answered them quite literally and got into the weeds. >> better preparation. >> but also mentally. leaving aside the details, he decided i'm going to talk about what i'm going to talk about. you win when you do that. >> tucker, before you leave, say goodbye to lee. >> lee and i are having a cup of coffee together. >> if it makes you feel any better, it's one more than we have. >> although, no one is about to get -- >> it's early. >> thanks, guys. the debate is done. let the spin begin. we sent pete hegseth through the crowd to see what both sides are saying. >> our assignment editor, ainsley. ♪ lots of vitamins a&c, and, only 50 calories a serving... good morning, indeed. v8. veggies for all. what's going on here?

>> i think he didn't move on from it. i think he could have dug himself further with independent voters and women by going after clinton on her husband's infidelities. many republicans didn't want him to go down that route. they wanted him to focus on issues. >> i thought he didn't put it behind him. but he effectively set it to the side. as i was watching, a friend of mine texted. it says, i feel i'm watching two angry parents arguing through a divorce. this is so uncomfortable. and they didn't love each other in the first place. for me, it was a draw between the two candidates. because at the end, you wanted to take a shower. >> at the end, they did shake hands and they did answer the question that we'll show later in the show that guy asked. can you say something positive about each other. >> shocking. >> they talked about some of the issues. they talked about foreign policy, the economy, health care. we'll show you sound bites of the topics and we'll discuss them one by one. take a listen. >> we're going to make sure that nobody, no corporation and no individual, can get away without paying his fair share. >> we're bringing the tax rate down from 35% to 15%. we're cutting taxes for the middle class. >> premiums have gotten too high, co-pays, prescription drug costs. i've laid out a series of actions to take to get the costs down. >> disastrous plan and it has to be repealed and replaced. >> we are not at war with islam. and it is a mistake and it plays into the hands of the terrorists to act as though we are. >> i will knock the hell out of isis. we're going to defeat isis. >> amy, i'll start on your end. first of all, what did you think of foreign policy? >> i thought there wasn't enough of it and we didn't get deep enough into it. both support a safe zone in syria. that means deeper military intervention. in a mush shan plane flies over, who will be shooting them down? the united states. i felt it was a little shallow. unfortunately, a lot of this campaign has been shallow and part of it is the media not asking really probing questions when it comes to foreign policy. >> who won on foreign policy? >> i prefer the more cons tich approach but i wanted to hear more. >> i thought it was important when it came to approaching isis and tackling syria, i thought it was a key moment of the campaign saying they haven't spoken about that policy and he disagrees. he was read a statement by mike pence. for that reason, i think clinton won that segment. >> i have to wonder, does mike pence know that -- >> apparently he does. he was tweeting last night that he's going back on the trail. he was proud of the top of the ticket. the rumors that they're breaking up -- >> economy. who won on the economy and why? >> on the economy, i think hillary won. i think that trump never really gives good explanations. he acts as if the president is a dictator which the president is not. the guy asked him a question. how is it that you're going to make it more fair for the middle income people? his argument to say cut taxes from 35% to 15% for everybody, that helps the upper class. doesn't answer questions. >> wants to increase taxes for anyone making $200,000 or more. is that the best plan? >> if you ask chuck schumer, no. when we looked at tax reform under bush, chuck schumer said in new york city, $200,000 a year while it is a lot for most americans is not a lot for new york city residents. getting back to your points when it came to asking, rather, answering questions about the economy, again, i just felt like the questions were shallow and we moved on too quickly so we couldn't learn more about what the two candidates want do as commander in chief. >> thank you guys so much. i did think it interesting on health care that hillary clinton said quote, if we could start over, maybe we could have come up with a better plan. talking about obamacare. thank you all for being with us. >> thank you, ainsley. who was the biggest star of the night?

>> i feel great. i thought he was clear, he was concise and thorough. he didn't let anything slide at all. >> how does tonight's compare? >> it was epic theater. it really was. even if the first quarter of an hour was a little excruciating. >> donald trump showed he's ready to be commander in chief on day one. he took the case to hillary clinton and he showed that he's easily rattled, which is not a great quality for a president or a commander in chief. >> does this turn the page for you guys? >> it does. it's a quality for presidents also. you have to be resilient and nimble. you don't know what's coming your way as commander in chief, president of the united states. >> little crowded in here tonight. donald trump came in. tried to facebook town hall. trying to throw her off. he doesn't that. she came in with one clear mission, which was talk to those voters asking questions. >> i think he tried to rattle her with a desperate chief tactic before the debate began. but it didn't work. >> i don't think he did anything to reassure those people trun troubled by the audio that surfaced on friday. i think the other steps he took in the debate showed his own lack of term permt. made our argument for us about his lack of fitness. >> how do you think mr. trump handled the woman issue?

i don't need a win, all i need is to stay sed i because she feels she's won this already? play it safe. do you think that could have been the reason? >> yeah. i think she was trying to play it safe and play policy. instead, he went on the offensive and went with his gut and that gut resonates. benghazi, the e-mails. a lot of the issues that american people have been frustrated about with where he feels there's a double standard. he spoke to it powerfully. she was rattled. no doubt. even clinton folks realize that trump set the agenda. >> pete, thanks for going in. >> thanks for sending me. >> are you still spinning?

>> i would grade him as having done an excellent job because when you have real questions from real people, you get real answers. that's what donald trump delivered last night. hillary only had political answers, and you know what, brian, to use your analogy, i don't think that hillary clinton got the gloves on. she was on the defensive all night because she has no substance to talk about, so their whole strategy is attack, attack, attack. but when you have real people asking real questions, you get to hear the substance that donald trump represents. >> when that tape came out on friday, i was stunned by how many republicans jumped off the trump train maybe for probably for good from senator thume, senator kaine, some suspect paul ryan. the real donald trump tape was appalling, but it wasn't at all surprising. the shocked gop politicalco scrambling for cover looks ludicrous. your thoughts. >> i think the donald trump supporters understand the difference between somebody that says awful things. you can't defend what he said. he said some awful things. he said some thags tht liberals have tried to present as awful but saying awful things is different from someone doing awful things, where people died and people lied, and people took the fifth. so that, i think is the difference that a lot of people are starting to understand. the american people are not stupid. they see that difference. there's an old saying for some people, brian. they don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils. i've heard of that many times on my radio show and you probably heard it too. my pastor pointed out, don't commit the third evil and not vote. these are the voices that we have. you have someone who said awful things or do you want someone who did awful things?

here to weigh in is fox news contributor team bruce. what did you think? did he redeem himself? >> i think he did as much as he could. i was impressed. he said the campaign was making him a better man and as a feminist, someone who has been a working feminist for decades now, that's what we ask of men. we're all imperfect. every day we're each working to become better people. the fact he noted that is important. i think women's issues are everyone's issues, right. certainly there are certain dynamic issues they are concerned about, health care and education. men are concerned as well. we're also concerned about national security and the economy. are we going to be able to protect our family?

he was and he also prevailed. that's a signal about leadership and that's where she failed. they threw everything and the kitchen sink at him, there will likely be morning but americans at this point i would have to say don't care because what's at stake is even more serious. >> if that were the last debate, if we were going to the polls today, who would win? >> i think ultimately when people walk in and they realize what we've got, more terrorist attacks, the immigration issue, the economy, people will check for mr. trump. the independents went overwhelmingly for him last night and that's what we're looking at. we've got both parties are set, i think. it's awled baked in. the independents have responded very strongly for him. there's a reason for that. the target audience last night undecided voters. >> raise your hands if you walked in here leaning toward hillary clinton. raise your hands. okay, there's eight or nine of you. raise your hands if you walked in here leaning toward donald trump. once again, eight or nine of you. >> but one candidate really swayed them. results of our focus group done minutes after the debate with frank luntz and that is next. and the video is terrifying. a boat filled with people goes under. >> come on! get some more vests over there guys. >> there were women and children in that water. they were forced to tread water. the rescue caught on camera. ♪ shop like a pro at bass pro shops with trophy deals throughout the store. like men's long sleeve t's and henleys 2 for $25. plano sportsman's totes starting at just $10. and a masterbuilt bluetooth smoker bundle for under $300 until one of you clips a food truck. then your rates go through the roof. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance. would either of you name one positive thing that you respect in one another?

>> i was born in mexico and one of things that mostly instilled toward trump, most of my people don't, the fact that the talk has been happening since 1988 and none of my people have gotten that amnesty that everyone talks about. >> so what is it about the latino population that almost 80% are supporting hillary clinton? >> well, she's promise pg the same thing that everyone promises and nothing happens. trump talks about a wall and stuff like that, but congress ultimately is the one that has the word to say. >> let me ask you as a way to close this. are there anyone here who at this point will not vote for president that you don't like either candidate? there are few of you. what is it? what's the problem? daniel. >> i feel like if we're going to vote for a candidate, if we vote for someone who represents america. we have much better choices. trump is not a conservative. i'm conservative. i want a conservative president. i want conservative policies. he gets elected, we're not getting a conservative for a while. >> mike, you are still none of the above. tell me why. >> i'm kind of a bleeding heart conservative and i'm not sure if i've found what i'm looking for yet. >> this debate to me was fascinating because donald trump started off so strong as he did in the first debate, but he didn't weaken and there were moments in here where they all thought that he was really outperforming hillary clinton. did it change any minds? raise your hands if you are walking out of here a trump voter. yes, it did. back to you. unbelievable. >> and you really couldn't see how many hands there were, but a majority of the people said after they had been evenly split, the majority said they were thinking about voting for donald trump. given that guy who was at the debate stage behind me last night as opposed to to the guy who was at the debate two weeks earlier. >> we've been breaking this down and we will for the next 90 minutes. we understand we'll probably have kellyanne conway on as well as mike pence. when we get the polls, this is the most impactful poll ever from the friday tape revelation to the sunday debate conclusion. when we get a poll on thursday, we don't have any idea what it's going to say because we can't gauge the impact yet, correct, steve? >> well, from the focus group watching them for 100 minutes, what it seems like, everybody going in, you know, didn't know what to think about how donald trump was going to explain remorsefully what happened on that bus with billy bush. but after they heard what he said, okay, move on. >> uh-huh. i think the one word he said when he said it's embarrassing. i think that's when it might have turned a little bit. i think women -- because you kind of feel sorry for someone that's embarrassed and you glad to see them being remorseful, especially after those comments. 20 minutes before the top of the hour, straight ahead, vice presidential nominee mike pence joins us live. does he still see eye-to-eye with donald trump. after all, he disagreed with mike pence's policy on the stage last night p. >> it was one of donald trump's best jabs the night. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you would be in jail. >> secretary clinton -- >> are the honesty attacks working?

>> it was the line obviously of the election, the debate process. it goes to shows there's two sets of lies. one for clinton and one for everybody else. people in the military have done much less. they have lost their stripes and there are people in jail for what she's done and it was a home run. i thought he won the debate. >> we just saw a couple of cadets run by. he hears the american people say lock her up. the clinton double standard is done and if i'm president i'm going to uphold the law so it applies to everybody and it's not two sets of standards. >> apparently you and james comey don't agree. after the last debate, donald trump went on line, did some tweeting, and then that led to this exchange about the 3:00 a.m. call and benghazi. >> by the way, just so you understand, when she said 3:00 in the morning, take a look at benghazi. she said who is is going to answer the call at 3:00 in the morning? guess what. she didn't answer because when ambassador stephens -- >> wait a minute. >> 600 mimes where she said she was awake at 3:00 in the morning and she also sent out a tweet out at 3:00 in the morning. she said she will be awake. we're going to aps our call at 3:00 in the morning. approximate guess what happened. ambassador stephens sent 600 requests for help, and the only one she talked to was sydney bloomenthal who is her friend and not a good guy, by the way. she shouldn't be talking about that. >> so scott, he turned around the fact that she had hit him on tweeting out about miss universe at 3:00 in the morning into a very effective argument. >> and that's what he did not do the last debate. he had many, many soft balls where he could have hit it out of the park and twisted it, hit and moved on and attack her and shows the comparison and differences. if you know donald trump, which many of the viewers could, the guy doesn't sleep. he's a work aalcoholic. 3:00 for him is 3:00 is 7:00 for others. should he be tweeting about miss america? i don't think so. >> it was a stand and clap moment. i think a lot of us were waiting for benghazi coming up in the debate. he did a nice job. then the other disasters, libya, syria. he did a great job too with borders and refugees. if these folks don't have an allegiance to our country, why are we letting them? you tie that to benghazi. >> she has a very tough time supporting and sticking up for obama and her foreign policy which is a disaster. people see it. they are smarter than they are giving them credit for. >> thanks for coming to st. louis. we'll see you in vegas. >> rough duty. >> someone has got to do it. >> straight ahead, a big part of the sun showdown was about your money. >> everybody's taxes massive. >> everything you heard just now from donald is not true. i'm sorry i have to keep saying this, but he lives in an alternative reality. >> okay. well, let's talk about reality. whose tax plan is better for the economy. we're going to talk to scott -- stuart varney a little bit but the woodhouse brothers are going to talk about the big debate last night. dallas and brad live from their respective cities. when you're on hold, your business is on hold. that's why comcast business doesn't leave you there. when you call, a small business expert will answer you in about 30 seconds. no annoying hold music. just a real person, real fast. whenever you need them. great, that's what i said. so your business can get back to business. sounds like my ride's ready. don't get stuck on hold. reach an expert fast. comcast business. built for business. comcast business. did you know your business doesn't have to suffer from slow internet?

here's a debate two people often disagree, two brothers, brad and dallas. dallas, for the most part, i think we can all agree that donald trump was actually fighting for his oppose candidacy, his own legitimacy last night. did he save it? >> i think he did. i think he passed the test of answering for some salty language and boarish behavior caught on videotape in a private moment and i think he did something that was very important last night. he shifted the topics of the debate to the major issues of our time. the ones that really affect people. national security, the economy, that was a public service to the people of america. and to ms. clinton who deserves to have the major issues of our time debated and one of those major issues is her and her fit for office after doing what she did to her emails. >> brad. >> i just feel like i'm living in an alternative reality listening to some of your guests and listening to dallas. every scientific poll shows that hillary clinton crushed donald trump last night and cnn poll says she won by 23 points. >> you actually think that? >> of course, i do. i mean thrk guy ploded around the stage. he interrupted her 18 times. i whined to the moderators. he didn't look the least bit presidential. i know if you think that emails and benghazi are the most important questions in the world, you think -- >> you do realize -- [ multiple people speaking ] >> let's move on to donald trump's salty language never killed anybody. [ multiple people speaking ] >> it wasn't salty language, dallas. he said he sexually assaulted women. he grabbed them and kissed them forcibly. dallas, he seems to have done much better this time, correct? >> yeah, i think so. people know that donald trump is rich, and this they know he has built an entire private enterprise. >> he is rich and pays no federal income taxes, dallas. he's rich and -- [ multiple people speaking ] >> gorgeous soros and warren buffett. >> they are not running for president. >> they are billionaires and can explain so much. >> mike pence and kellyanne conway are coming up next. that's exactly what they look like. i'm everything. i'm from all nations. i would look at forms now and wonder what do i mark? because i'm everything. and i marked other. discover the story only your dna can tell. order your kit now at ancestrydna.com. but there's so much more to it. here's how benefiber® works. inside each of us are trillions of good microflora that support good digestive health. the prebiotic fiber in benefiber® nourishes them so they can thrive. and what helps them, helps you and me every day. clear, taste-free, all natural benefiber®. nourish the goodness inside. also try benefiber® healthy shape. it's proven to keep you feeling fuller longer. audi pilotless vehicles have conquered highways, mountains, and racetracks. and now much of that same advanced technology is found in the audi a4. with one notable difference... ♪ the highly advanced audi a4, with available traffic jam assist. ♪ let's just get a sandwich or something.

>> well, two things. one can we just say that it was a little surreal the whole thing, 90 minutes. it started without the handshake. it was very tense. in that room, you could cut the tension with a knife and when the first question came out, you knew it was going to have to deal with that audiotape and the fact that it turned quickly to bill clinton and the accusers of sexual assault and rape that donald trump met with just beforehand, it was surreal. here's what happened. donald trump landed some restorery cal punches d rhetorical punches. he had some funny moments. he showed he could be somewhat knowledgeable on topic that he presented throughout the 90 minutes and for his supporters, i think he stopped the bleeding of what was a really tough 48 hours. now, did he cross the bar? did he change the dynamic in this race? we'll have to see. there's still a conference call at 11:00 today with house gop members, and there are still people who are calling for him to get aside. i don't think that those calls are going to happen because he is going to feel emboldened after this performance. >> i'm looking at this and what a lot of people are saying a perfect scenario for many republicans since obviously the 26 that decide they can't support donald trump anymore would be for him to do terrible and make it so obvious that they had to get another candidate, that they would get somebody new in there. instead, the weekly writes trump does well enough to doom republicans on november 8th. as you talk to other republicans, do they sense that they wanted donald trump out at this point or are they hoping for him to do this well? >> that's a great question, brian. i think there's a definite split in the republican party as there was at the beginning of his candidacy. to have him succeed or fail spectacularly, i think that for the 30 people who have walked away from him, they were hoping that he imploded. it didn't happen. so this candidacy goes on and for his supporters, they feel emboldened that the anti-establishment, anti-elittist message is resonating throughout the country. the question is before that tape came out, donald trump was having a hard time in the polls anyway with the swing states, with women particularly. then the tape comes out. we haven't really seen any polling after that. i'm not sure that that moves the needle tremendously, but it clearly changes the crisis dynamic that he was dealing with coming into the debate. >> this is the cover of the post this morning. it says jail to the chief. instead of hail to the chief. there was a lot of mud slinging. it was a tense debate. it started that way out of the gate because they didn't shake hands. listen to the mud slinging and we'll talk about it. >> teachers and parents are calling it to the trump effect. bullying is up. >> bernie sanders, i was so surprised to see him sign on with the devil. >> everything he just said is absolutely false. >> she has tremendous hate in her heart. >> when they go low, you go high. >> she's got bad judgment and i think so bad that she should never be president of the united states. >> he never apologizes for anything to anyone. >> honest abe never lied. that's the big difference between abraham lincoln and you. >> that's the bizarre nature of what happened last night. >> that jail comment and the abe lincoln comment, those were off the cuff. he didn't know she was going to talk about abe lincoln, when he came back with that remark back, it was pretty clever. >> it was. he had the moments that were like the funny qips, the ones that made the room kind of laugh. there were a couple applause moments. she had a couple. that's the other thing, the live audience for the debate, for all the admonishment from time to time, they still factor in, occasionally weighing in with their applause or laughter or something else. afterwar afterwards, i think donald trump supporters felt emboldened. democrats felt it definitely wasn't a knock-out punch, but they feel strong in their positioning. i think the real question today is where the rest of the republican party sorts out and whether they sign on or whether they continue to push for him to step aside. that's not going to happen, clearly, but there will be an element of the republican party that's pushing for that. >> sure. bret, you mentioned the moderators. on line, there are a lot of people furious. they crossed the line. they weren't not fair and balanced and scolded trump repeatedly far more times than her. there's 52 seconds of that and having moderated things yourself, we would love to hear your point of view. watch this. >> she campaigned where the -- >> mr. trump, mr. trump, i want to get to audience questions and on line questions. >> she's allowed to do that but i'm not allowed -- >> you are going to get to respond right now. >> sounds fair. >> we turned over 35,000. >> oh, yeah. what about the other 15,000? >> please allow her to respond. she didn't talk while you talked. >> hillary clinton wants to allow -- >> why did it morph into that? no, answer the question. do you still believe -- >> why don't you interrupt her? you interrupt me all the time. >> what does that mean? >> i'll tell you what it means. >> there's been lots of fact checking on that. i would like to to move to an on line question. >> anderson, why aren't you bringing up the emails? >> you brought the emails. >> kim has a question. >> it's nice. one on three. >> one on three. bret, we had john roberts on a little while ago, he said he felt after having seen a million of these, he fell that martha was argumentative. what did you think? >> well, let me put a caveat on there, that anderson cooper and martha are friends of mine. i respect their work and what they do. clearly the trump campaign felt like they were on the other side of the debate moderating, the interruptions happened more times on his side than her side. the questions, however, you know, hillary clinton had to deal with and was on her heels on the email question for martha and trump said why don't you bring up the email question. it hasn't been brought up. i think there's a legitimate argument to make that -- and he clearly makes it about the moderating in these debates. he wanted to mention that going in, and, you know the balance between the two, i think that's the big question there. i can tell you one thing. chris wallace is going to kill it in las vegas. >> absolutely. >> i think we can all be proud about that. >> i actually felt they did a pretty good job. i thought they made it substantive and it's hard working with somebody else too from another network. bret, thank you very much. i know you got to run. >> all right. we'll see you. >> chris wallace gets to work by himself in las vegas. >> we'll all be watching and we'll be talking about it too. >> we say good-bye to bret and we're bring to in judge jeanine pirro. >> ainsley a moment ago, held up the newspaper, the cover of the new york post deaf and it says -- new york post today and it says jail to the chief and that headline came from this sound byte. watch. >> the thing that you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 emails that you deleted. if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you would be in jail. >> whoa! >> judge. >> well, there's no question that donald trump is speaking to an issue that americans are frustrated about. hillary clinton has corrupted the department of state. she has corrupted the justice department, and now the fbi. and when donald trump talks about the thousands of americans that he talks to, the woman has done a -- she's destroyed evidence. she has obstructed justice. she's perjured herself, she has left our state secrets on a unsecured server less secure than g mail. >> other than that. >> other than that, let's talk about the foundation, let's talk about why she put that server together. >> yeah, but other than that. >> other than that, let's talk about all the things she's done to those victims and by the way she was rattled when she came into that debate. she saw those women. bill clinton saw those women and i'm telling you if you caught that one clip of bill clinton, he's saying to himself am i the next bill cosby? these women are still here and i'm here as well. you've got hillary clinton's business, her life's mission has been to get to the white house. no matter who she has to run over to get there. you know what, donald trump is right. we need to get someone who will objectively look at this case. the statute of limitations has not run. there is evidence still to be found there. the fbi can destroy the laptops of cheryl mills and all those people they want to cover up and i am ashamed what they have done. i've spent 30 years in law enforcement and what i want to do is just make sure that justice is done and that she doesn't have a better system than regular people. >> judge, i wanted to ask you, what did you think about his response to the hot mike? as a woman. >> you know, as a woman -- first of all, let me say this, i know donald trump for 30 years. we've socialized with him. i have been involved in a million situations with him, with him and his children. he has always been a gentleman. i didn't meet him once or twice. i know the man, and i can speak as a woman who was fought for battered women. i have crusaded for women my whole career for a level playing field for women who were victims of crime, and i can tell you unequivocally that whatever that locker room talk was, whatever that frat house lapping was, honestly, most americans get it. women talk about things and men talk about things, and you know what, it's a shame that it's out there and if there's more to come, i wouldn't be surprised. i got to say one thing to those politically -- >> what?

. good morning. it's now 24 minutes after the hour. quick headlines to bring you. breaking overnight, u.s. under attack, possibly yet again by iran in international waters. two missiles nearly taking out the uss mason in the red sea. the navy saying both missiles were fired from rebel-held areas in yemen but missed their intended targets. those groups are backed by iran and denied carrying out a missile attack. it may be the latest form of attempted intimidation by iran following this embarrassing incident when they forced our sailors to their knees before making them apologize. then you will recall this recently from august. their ships, rawbian -- iranian ships coming dangerously close to our american ships. a international terror plot targeting a busy airport attacked with travelers -- pack with travelers. german authorities arrested this syrian refugee. police raided his apartment and found deadly explosives and links to isis. matthew is out to sea but that's wreaking havoc along the southeast coast of our country. 18 people killed in the united states as life-threatening flooding remains a major threat. hundreds of rescues stwifg for people -- intensifying for people still stranded this morning. like this man. you can't see the ground. it is all water there. scenes like this are common from central florida through virginia as matthew leaves behind a trail of destruction. those are your headlines. steve is out there in st. louis, and there was a big debate last night, as you are well aware of, and i understand kellyanne conway is out there with you, steve. >> actually, i believe she's in new york city at trump tower. >> you are already back, kellyanne, thanks for join ug. >> they have a jet. >> it's called one hour sleep and it looks that way. >> i don't think so. kellyanne, let me ask you real quick. what was the mood like when you got on the plane with donald trump, leaving for new york, anybody who would believe that the future of the campaign was in the balance, describe that plane ride. >> i will tell you how it was right after he got the stage, i took a different plane back. donald trump was ebullient. he knew he made the case for benghazi and emails. to syria and her plan to get 550% increase in refugees here. he took her to task on her emails and she said she was sorry but she's really just sorry for getting caught. took her to task on this private versus public position that you have to have as recently revealed over the weekend and they couldn't answer those questions. i took her to task on obamacare, something that his running mate governor pence mentioned masterfully in his debate against tim kaine. my husband clarified it. he didn't think it's the craziest thing ever. yes, he does, and he's right. i think it was a great night. a great choice between past and future. a successful businessman and a failed politician. >> everyone was watching last night to see what his response is was going to be about the open mike, especially women. that tape was released on friday. the debate was on sunday. what was your advice to him? >> i will first tell you that my reaction was a combination of what governor pence and melania trump and donald trump has said about his comments. i too found them to be unacceptable and offensive. nobody is here to defend them, including donald trump. he apologized on friday in a video post that everybody can see. those are his words and he repeated that last night. said that he hated it. he was embarrassed. he apologized for it and then he also said the difference between words and actions, and talked about that very important distinction. the other thing i think is incredibly important, ainsley, in this conversation is when anderson cooper pressed mr. trump on sexual assault, donald trump shot back and said this is not what this is. these are words. this term "sexual assault" has been bandied about, and i'll tell you as somebody that's worked with victims of sexual assault, it demeans that when somebody exploits this for political purposes. what was the strategy from having the four accusers of bill clinton who say they are the victims of bill clinton's sexual assaults? having them do that little press event and then go into the town hall last night. what was the strategy behind doing that? >> well, these women want to be heard, steve. and they will come on your show any time you will have them, i'm sure, each of them. i thought they were profiles in courage for showing up last night at the debate. they want to be sheer. kathy shelton was 12 years old when she was raped. that was not in doubt. she was raped by a man over 40 years old who none other than hillary clinton defended, and she got him a plea barringen and a year later she was caught on tape laughing about the process. i want to tell the viewers that this rape happened in arkansas two years before the rape shield laws went into effect. that was a horrible time when people could sort of shame the victims. this girl was 12 years old and hillary clinton did exactly that. and the issues about hillary clinton, her campaign knows she was rattled and way off message last night for whatever reason. i would be too if i had to defend that unremarkable senate record and really irresponsible, unsuccessful record of hillary clinton as secretary of state. "the new york times" laid it out last week in vivid detail, she would try to ruin them and it was always their fault. >> do you think hillary was a little rattled because those women were there? >> she was rattled and off message for some reason. she had a much stronger performance in her first debate. i don't think the town hall format is really for her well, because you have to go and talk to people. she doesn't do that very often, unless you are a donor behind some gated manage at a fund-raiser. you don't get to see her up close and personal. and if you are at chipirani, where you are calling people deplorable. i'm sure she was uncomfortable. she also never answered donald trump's questions about those four women. she just blew them off completely. >> she said they are inaccurate and kept moving on. something struck me about what you said to megyn last night. let's play the clip and i want to get you to elaborate if you would. >> let me tell you something, there are members of congress and former who have rubbed up against women and who put their tongues in their mouths uninvited. maybe when i was younger and prettier, that may have happened to me. people on their high horses are accusing him of being this awful person and really the words i think were most harmful is when everybody is running around saying he's condoning sexual assault. no, he's not. >> he said i grab them by the genitals. >> those are guys talking. i think it's horrible talk. >> not every guy talk like that. you know that. >> they were two guys talking. we know who they were. he didn't mean it. he's sorry for it. he's a changed man. >> you were talking about congress and he was referring to how many people have jumped off the trump train after those comments came out on friday. who are you referring to when you said they are hypocrits? are you talking about republicans, democrats? >> oh, that's a bipartisan problem in washington, d.c., and i won't go any further into it, but they know who they are, and i just wanted to make the point very simply that people do get on their high horses. they do cast that first stone and they ought to really reflect. they ought to look inside and think about what their conduct and words have been over the years, and it sounds like megyn either agreed or at least sympathize with the point being made. >> kellyanne did you ever consider dropping out after those comments were made? >> i did not and there was horrible reporting from a different network that was called to task for reporting it that i was dropping out, and mike pence, and donald trump was jumping off trump tower. i think if they want skin at this late -- they don't need to make stuff up. i will tell you that privately i had a conversation with mr. trump about his comments, and i -- again, i will repeat, i'm a combination of mike pence and melania and donald trump on the way i feel about these comments and also the way i feel about the contrition and the apology that donald trump has expressed privately and publicly. >> he did say to ben carson there could be more tapes to come. >> i would know nothing about that. >> thank, so much. >> our next guest you know pretty well. do you want to see mike pence? >> drum roll please for the next vice president of the united states, mike pence. >> we wanted you to say hello because i don't want you to face time on yourism phones later. >> good morning, kelly anne. >> governor, if i could start with the headlines and the daily mail and your newspaper in indianapolis. it says mike pence will await the outcome of the debate before deciding whether to jump or not. is that true? >> that was absolutely false. it's like kellyanne just said. these rumors just furl around presidential campaigns. this is the first time i've ever been at this level. it's remarkable. the real story this morning is donald trump stepped up and won the debate last night that seemed to be against all odds. he stepped up. he showed humility, he showed strength, expressed genuine contrition for the words that he had used on the video that became public and then he moved directly into the choice of the american people are facing and it is such a dramatic choice and i thought before the end of that 90 minutes, the american people could see the opportunity that we really have to change the direction of this country and donald trump, you'll have a stronger america at home and abroad, a more prosperous america. real change to washington, d.c. you'll have a president that will uphold our constitution and appointments to the supreme court and hillary clinton you just heard more of the same. more of the same failed policies that have weakened america's place in the world. stifled our economy and continued to drive liberal policies in our judiciary, and i'm just proud of the job he did. proud of my running mate and looking forward to being on the campaign trail today heading to nrk. >> i was reading your tweets. you said you were praying. you and your wife were praying for donald trump and you were glad that he came out and apologized. so what was your advice to him from a christian perspective? because i know you are an evangelical. >> well, thanks. i mean, obviously, i'll always keep my advice privately, but i encouraged him, as i said in my statement on saturday, i encouraged him to express what i believe is his sincere personal remorse and he did that friday night, but i wanted to give him time to show his heart on sunday night, and i thought he did that, expressing the fact that he was embarrassed, not proud of it. you know, that kind of vulnerability, and transparency, i think is very moving to millions of americans, and i know for a fact that donald trump, you know, is, you know, deeply sorry. he's expressed his apology, but what i think people saw last night was someone who said, look, i'm not a perfect person. i've made mistakes. i'm not proud of these things. i've expressed an apology, but, you know, this election is not about any one individual. it's really about the future of the country and i couldn't have been more proud of the way that he focused last night on the choice the american people face and really and truly, i'm proud of the job at that he did and proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him. >> steve. >> governor, i was reading on line that donald trump threw you under the bus because you and donald trump have different takes on what should be done regarding isis and syria because last week at your debate you said you were talking about safe zones and donald trump had a different point of view last night. so i'm sure you talked to him about that or you thought about it. what's going on between the two of you on that topic? >> well, i think martha just mischaracterized the statement that i made in my debate a week ago. i was asked a question about aleppo. donald trump and i both know when hillary clinton said her number one diplomatic priority was a reset with russia, which obviously is a complete disaster. after the reset by hillary clinton, the russians invaded ukraine and they have created this renewed alliance with assad and they brought bar bearic violence there. the question had to do with the humanitarian crisis in aleppo, i said that we need to establish safe zoens and secure those safe zones and if necessary to use military force to allow the hundreds of thousands of people trapped in aleppo, including 100,000 children to be able to escape. last night, martha conflated those about a larger question about russian provocation and aggression. i didn't begrudge him at all saying we didn't discuss it. make no mistake, in donald trump and i you'll have a different kind of leadership relative to syria. his folk as he made clear is on hunting down and destroying isis within syria but establishing and securing safe zones has been a policy of the team and the administration going forward. >> he's wrong, russia is not targeting isis directly and neither is assad. that's not their priority. but moving on, governor, i understand house leaders will be on a conference call at 11:00 a.m. today and number one, will you be on that conference call, what is your mench to so many g gop-ers who jumped off the trump train? >> no. i'm going to be campaigning in north carolina today and iowa later this week. looking forward to be back on the campaign trail. this is a choice between two candidates and a choice between two futures. >> but they know that. >> they still -- -- >> they listened friday and they said i'm out of here. i can't support him. >> i know people said that. you know, what i had encouraged donald trump to do, because, look, i had said before i was offended by what i saw on that video, said that i didn't condone it, couldn't defend him. urged him to show his heart to the american people on sunday night. i think he's done that. my hope is that people across the country, including elected officials believe in redemption as much as i do and second chances as i do. someone in an 11-year-old video made comments that he regrets and apologized for. in hillary clinton and donald trump have two people who will take this country in dramatically different directions. my mope is people will see that. we have four short weeks to take the taste to the american people. one of things that donald trump said to me, he said it is not about him, not us, it's about the country, the future. seven out of ten americans know this country is headed in the wrong direction. donald trump and i want to take it to a direction of stronger military, lower taxes, repeal obamacare. end the war on cole. what we need to have is to have people to stand with us. >> are you going pick up the phone and call these leaders like paul ryan? >> i'm happy to talk to any of my friends in leadership. this election is in the hands of the american people, and, you know, at the end of the day, in the next four weeks, the american people are going to be making a choice that will culminate when the polls all close on november 8th and i truly do believe that as you look at the policies of this administration, hillary clinton essentially wants to continue the policies that have weakened america's place in the world, stifled our economy, walked away from our most cherished institutions like the second amendment. donald trump and i want to go back in the direction of a higher -- stronger america at home and abroad and uphold the highest standards of integrity in the highest office in the land. for those reasons, i like our chances come on november 8th. still ahead, hillary clinton tries to use abraham lincoln to explain her latest wickly -- wikileaks bombshell. debate reaction from two men who know presidential politics more than most. he goes by the name karl rove, the other by joe trippi. together, they are driving in golf carts, which is rented. please be careful. you're not a cook, if you don't cook. you're not a firefighter, if you don't fight fires. or a coach, if you don't coach. and you can't be our leader, if you don't lead. our next president needs to take action on social security, or future generations could lose up to $10,000 a year. we're working hard, what about you?

>> he lives to fight another day. expectations helped him. everybody expected after the friday barrage that it might collapse. expectations were too high for her. he came out and handled everything well. >> joe. >> i think he stop the bleeding with his supporters. i don't think you are going to see a stampede. in the end, i didn't see him make a whole lot of progress to reaching forward, that's now what he's got to do the rest of the way. >> he began that process last night. both of them got to further their message. his message, much better than the first one was. i'm change. i'm changed when it comes to obamacare. i'm change when it comes to foreign policy and she got to further her message which is i'm the person you can trust with the temperament and qawchingsesive qualifications and he's not. >> a lot of republicans heard donald trump say things directly to a clinton that they have wanted to say directly to a clinton for years. >> right. the key question is going to be is republicans wanted to hear that, his core supporters wanted to hear that. the question is who are the undecided who will settle it, the people who will close the gap. undecided suburban voters, is that what they wanted? >> that was his problem also night. >> it was both positive for him and part of the problem is, yeah, a lot of things he was saying i'm convinced that a lot of republicans wanted to hear him say those things to the clintons. the problem is when you get back to the swing states, to the suburban areas, to the college-educated whites that he needs to reach out to, i'm not sure that they are listening to that stuff. that's -- when he did turn to policy, that's where he's got to keep it the next 30 days and the question is does he really have the discipline to do that for 30 days? >> okay. >> so also night -- >> i agree with karl, he did well enough to live to fight another day. the question is can he move the ball forward from here? >> what happened to hillary? >> look, i think she did what she needed to do. >> which was what? play it safe? >> i don't know. playing is safe, but i think a lot of it was, look, as long as he's talking to his supporters, i think the clinton campaign, there's not enough of them for him to win. if he wants to make those kind of attacks, let him go. when i start seeing him reaching out to those suburban and college educated whites, that's when -- >> her comments were to a narrow group. at the end, remember how many times she sprinkled with all the bipartisan things she's claimed to have done. the republican in the i-4 corridor. he was looking at this core group over here and -- >> they both may have won with the groups that they were reaching out to. and so what we see now is sort of her playing it safe. no, it wasn't. she was going for a very specific piece of the will electorate. >> the tiebreaker is going to be vegas. >> chris wallace. >> thank you very much. >> we want better transport in vegas. can you work on that?
