>> well i think what donald trump is talking about is frankly what appears to be the monolithic support of the national media for hillary clinton's campaign. their willful ignorance about the avalanche of hard evidence, not allegations, john, but hard evidence, now coming out in these e-mails of collusion and pay for play politics and the american people are just tired of it. we'll respect the outcome of this election, john. let me be very clear. donald trump said in the first debate, that we'll respect the will of the american people in this election. the peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of, of american history. but, the american people are getting awful tired of this, this two on one fight with, many of you in the national media doing half of hillary clinton's work for her every day. all we're asking for, whatever you want to report about our campaign. let's get out there. let the facts speak for themselves. let's get before the american people this avalanche of e-mails that is confirming pay to play politics, outright corruption during the clinton years. >> governor, let me ask you a ti when donald trump talks about a rigged election here's the way one of his supporters hears that. a quote from the "boston globe" trump supporter. talking about being at polling places, donald trump encouraged supporters to watch the polling places. that's the way they're hearing talk about rigged elections. do you condone that kind of behavior? >> well, certainly not. other american nervous in the exercise of their, of their franchise to vote. look, the states like my state of indiana, manage our election process. poll watching is a part of that process. it's a message that i delivered around the country. people that are concerned about this election. about us preserving the one person, one vote at the very center of our american democracy, should become involved. should volunteer at their neighborhood polling place. that's how we ensure the accountability. frankly that's how we protect the integrity of the vote for republicans, democrats, independents, everyone across the spectrum is served when we ensure that we have free and honest elections. >> instead of making weird claims our election is rigged and challenging the integrity of the electoral process he should be standing up against people who are trying to destabilize our election. >> the clinton campaign is saying the trump campaign is doing something wrong talking if that's the case were you wrong to be talking about his leaked tax returns? >> no. i am not saying trump is wrong to be talking about this. that's not me. i don't know that we are really saying that. donald trump made a promise to the voters in 2014 if i run i will release my tax returns. secondly as you know that is the precedent for all in the modern era to release them. "the new york times" has a story th donald trump's taxes. and we think the information, essentially confirms what donald trump himself said on a debate stage. when hillary clinton said you probably don't pay taxes. donald trump said, yeah, that makes me smart. hey, a whole lot of us out here who pay taxes to support our military and to support our veterans we don't like being called stupid by a guy like donald trump who brags about, not paying taxes and stiffing our troops and stiffing veterans. >> with respect to donald trump and these accusations about his that's what democrats defended against with bill clinton in 1992. republicans say allegations represent a pattern of behavior shouldn't be president. if it was good enough to defend bill clinton, there was a separation, why not good enough for donald trump? >> bill clinton is not on the ballot. this is a race between donald trump and hillary clinton. second, i don't reach a conclusion about any particular allegation, but you do have to look at donald trump's own word and actions. the tape, that came out two fridays that created this bombshell was not somebody else saying something about donald trump. it was donald trump telling everybody this is the way i treat women. and then in the debate stage last sunday he was asked point-blank, did you act in accord with what you said. he didn't want to answer that question. he tried to avoid it a couple times. anderson cooper pinned him down. he looked at the camera, he said no, i never acted that way. i talked about it. well, you know when you look america in the face and say that.

>> will i can say that. because all of the surveys indicate it. if you had 13 mass shootings isn't that evidence? 70% fall in the gun related suicide rates in that evidence? are we expected to believe that was all magically going to happen?
