What did you mean by that?

[Trump] Uh,

she doesn't have the look.

She doesn't have

the stamina.

[Clinton] This is a man

who has called women

"pigs," "slobs," and "dogs."

One of the worst things

he said was about

a woman in a beauty contest.

He called this woman

"Miss Piggy,"

then he called her

"Miss Housekeeping"

because she was Latina.

- Donald, she has a name.

- [Trump] Where did you find--

- Her name is Alicia Machado.

- Where did you find this?

- Where did you find it?

- And she has become

a U.S. citizen

and you can bet...

- [Trump] Oh, really?

- ...she's going to vote

- this November.

- [Trump] Okay, good.

[Holt] All right, well,

that is going to do it for us.

That concludes our debate

for this evening.

[applause]

That debate did not want

for electric moments.

That's for sure, Bret.

There's no--no one,

I believe, will judge this

as having been a loss

for Hillary Clinton.

This was clearly Hillary Clinton

on the attack,

issue after issue after issue.

She certainly

looked more presidential.

She showed much more

of a mastery of issues.

I think everybody

pretty much agrees

that Trump was just awful.

[Halperin] Follow me.

pensive music

Mr. Trump.

Mr. Trump.

How are you, sir?

Congratulations

on getting through

your first

presidential debate.

- I liked it.

- What'd you--what'd you think?

I thought it was great.

I really enjoyed it.

It's about making America

great again.

So I think it came out

very good, Mark.

Of the objectives you had

going in tonight,

which ones did you achieve?

Which ones did you fail

to achieve?

I think I achieved.

I mean, I'm looking

at all the online polls,

and we're doing very well.

We're really doing well.

Um, I think I achieved.

Now people are talking about

how you did, how she did.

What do you think the proper

role for the media is now

at this point,

and what will the role be?

All I wish the media would be

is fair.

Uh, you know, everyone's

saying I won the debate.

But hones--

I just want them to be fair.

That includes you.

[reporters all talking at once]

Hey, John,

throw it back to you.

Uh, Donald Trump continues

to walk the line,

and we're gonna go

chase after him.

[woman] Did he say, "Everyone

is saying I won the debate"?

[man] Well done, brother.

[crowd cheering]

an] Let me ask you a question.

Who thinks Trump won

the debate last night?

[crowd cheering]

brooding music

[Trump]

Last night was very exciting.

Winning the debate against

crooked Hillary Clinton,

big league.

Big league.

[crowd cheering]

The single weapon

that she's got is the media.

Without the mainstream media,

she wouldn't even

be here, folks.

That I can tell you.

She wouldn't even be here.

[crowd cheering]

[Tapper] There is

some breaking news right now.

David Fahrenthold

of The Washington Post

got his hands on a tape,

uh, from 2005

of Donald Trump.

[Trump] Took her out

furniture shopping.

She wanted to get

some furniture.

I said, "I'll show you where

they have some nice furniture."

[man] Whoa.

[man] That's huge news here.

[man laughing]

[Bush] Whatever you want.

[Bush snickering]

The Trump campaign

was already in free fall.

Ever since the last debate,

it's been

one self-inflicted wound

after another.

But this really takes it

to another level.

The worst October surprise

that any campaign

has ever suffered.

pensive rousing music

[man] I think there's

an acknowledgement

inside the Trump campaign

that they don't know

how their candidate

can survive this.

[man] They're in DEFCON 2

right now.

I've never said

I'm a perfect person

nor pretended to be

someone that I'm not.

I've said and done things

I regret.

And the words released today

on this more-than-a-decade-old

video are one of them.

Anyone who knows me

knows these words

don't reflect who I am.

I said it,

I was wrong,

and I apologize.

I've said some foolish things,

but there's 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.

That wasn't an apology.

That was like

the Pee-wee Herman defense:

"I know you are,

but what am I?"

[man] The party right now

is "flipping out."

[woman] A growing list

of congressional Republicans

withdrawing support.

Some are demanding that Trump

drop out of the race.

dark music

[woman] He's indicated

in the past,

"If the Republican Party

is not with me,

then they're against me."

And his base of support

is with him on that.

[man] Go ahead!

[crowd chanting]

USA! USA! USA! USA!

[man] On Twitter,

Trump said,

"I will never

drop out of the race.

Will never let

my supporters down."

[instrument blowing]

[woman] Whoo!

Donald J. Trump!

[crowd shouting]

We will discuss this more

in the coming days.

See you at the debate

on Sunday.

[indistinct chatter]

[McKinnon] Are we--

are we rolling?

[Blitzer] Just getting in

some videotape.

Uh, look at this.

These are women who have

made very strong accusations

against Bill Clinton.

There you see in the middle

of your screen Donald Trump...

Mr. Trump may have

said some bad words,

but Bill Clinton raped me.

And Hillary Clinton

threatened me.

[camera shutters clicking]

Donald Trump has just

put his finger

on the nuclear button

and pressed it.

brooding string music

[Cooper] Mr. Trump,

you bragged that

you have

sexually assaulted women.

Do you understand that?

No, I didn't say that at all.

I don't think you

understood what was said.

This was locker room talk.

Uh, I'm not proud of it.

I apologized to my family.

I have tremendous respect

for women.

[Cooper] Have you ever

done those things?

And women have respect for me.

And I will tell you--

no, I have not.

If guys are gonna say

they don't talk like that,

they're lying.

Did you ever get a group

of women ar--together?

They're worse than the men.

[man] He had the power.

He has the prestige.

Why wouldn't you take

a little advantage?

[woman]

I'm not voting for the pope.

I don't care

what he said 11 years ago.

[man] Claims that he

inappropriately

touched two women

in the past...

[woman] And his hands

started going up my skirt.

[woman] He just came

strolling right in.

Some girls were topless.

Other girls were naked.

[woman] A ninth woman

is now accusing Donald Trump

of sexual misconduct.

He gave me another embrace

and did

touch my vagina

through my underwear.

These vicious claims

about me

are totally

and absolutely false.

[crowd cheering]

They're taking

these unsubstantiated--

no witnesses--putting them on

the front pages of newspapers!

They're outright lies.

[crowd cheering]

[woman] She's got

the whole media behind her.

Everything's a setup.

[woman] This is about

the liberal media

trying to keep Trump

from becoming president.

Anyone who challenges

their control

is deemed a sexist,

a racist, a xenophobe.

Things that come out of Donald
