Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time Page #11

Trump's mouth are disgusting.

They will attack you.

Deplorable and awful.

They will slander you.

- Creepy.

- They will lie.

Donald Trump is going

to lose this election.

- Lie.

- The race is over.

They're horrible,

horrible liars.

[crowd cheering]

It's a rigged system.

It's a rigged election.

It's not coincidence

that these attacks

come at the exact same moment

as WikiLeaks

releases documents

exposing the massive

international corruption

of the Clinton machine.

[crowd chanting] Lock her up!

Lock her up! Lock her up!

Lock her up! Lock her up!

So true.

dramatic music

[woman] The Clinton

presidential campaign

is facing more problems

over emails today...

[woman] A steady stream

of leaked emails

keep coming from WikiLeaks.

U.S. intelligence officials say

the hacks came from Russia.

[Clinton] What's really

important about WikiLeaks

is that the Russian government

has engaged in espionage

against Americans

in an effort

to influence our election.

Look, Putin...

[Chris Wallace] Oh, but-wait--

[Trump]

...from everything I see,

has no respect

for this person.

Well, that's because

he'd rather have a puppet

as president of

the United States.

No puppet.

No puppet.

- And it's pretty clear--

- You're the puppet.

[Clinton] It's pretty clear

you won't admit that...

[Trump] No, you're the puppet.

..the Russians have engaged

in cyber attacks against

the United States of America

because he has a very clear

favorite in this race.

[Wallace] Mr. Trump,

you have been warning

at rallies recently

that this election is rigged.

Do you make the commitment

that you will absolutely--

sir--that you will

absolutely accept

the result of this election?

I will look at it at the time.

- [man groans]

- [Wallace] Are you saying

you're not prepared now

to commit to that principle?

What I'm saying is that

I will tell you at the time.

I'll keep you in suspense.

[Nicole Wallace] It is

a disqualifying comment to say

you will not accept the results

of American democracy,

the beacon of democracy

the world over.

Lights-out moment for him.

This is very sad night

for the country.

Um, you can't polish this turd.

[indistinct chatter]

There's Kellyanne.

How's it going?

Oh, great!

How are you?

Was that the answer he was

supposed to give

on that question?

He had a lot

of great answers tonight.

That one that everybody's

paying attention to.

- When--and he said--

- Why-why--how does that happen?

I'm just curious,

'cause I'm not a reporter.

- [sighs]

- How does it happen that

everybody hears

the same 90-minute debate

and everybody obsesses

over the one thing he says--

Because we've never had

a major party nominee

who says, "I may not

accept the results."

Well, sure you did.

You had Al Gore.

That was after the election.

Well, but that's--maybe

that's his entire point, Mark.

But earlier today, you,

Mike Pence, and Ivanka Trump

all said, "Of course

he'll accept the results."

So that's different

than the answer he gave.

We all said

absent widespread irregularities

or evidence of fraud or abuse.

[indistinct chatter]

And rolling now.

pensive music

We all agreed he had

to do something big tonight.

Does anybody here

think he did that?

No.

I think, if anything,

just the opposite.

The WikiLeaks disclosures

from the Podesta emails

have been going around now

for over a week.

And we still don't know--

and there's mixed opinion

about this--

the people who are

releasing these,

trying to win the election

for Trump

or they're just trying

to create chaos.

[Heilemann]

Yeah, chaos and discord.

The irony is, if the election

is undermined,

at this point, the chances

are more--are better

that it's by Russia

than by anybody else.

[laughs]

soft suspenseful music

[Heilemann] So Donald Trump,

last night,

he-he brought up

a number of things

that have been revealed

by the WikiLeaks,

uh, email hacking.

Yes. Yes.

You, Roger Stone, have said,

I believe, on multiple

occasions publicly,

that you have back channel

to Assange.

- Correct?

- Mm-hmm.

We just happen to have

a mutual friend who--

You "happen to have"

a mutual friend?

Yes, who supported Assange

and has some connection to him.

But how aware of all this

is Trump?

Have you discussed

WikiLeaks with him?

- I have not.

- Not once?

- Not once.

- Never?

In any of your private

conversations, not once?

- Not once. Not once.

- You have no idea.

So the U.S.

intelligence community

"is confident that

the Russian government

directed the recent

compromises of emails

from U.S. persons

and institutions,

including from U.S.

political organizations."

- So I--

- Show us the proof.

You don't believe it?

No, I don't believe it.

Why does Donald Trump

suck up to Putin so much?

Because he favors a period--

Why does he do--

why does he do that?

Because he favors

a period of dtente.

If Nixon and Brezhnev

can make a deal,

then perhaps Trump

and Putin can make a deal

You-your view

is that American voters,

when Trump sucks up to Putin,

they think, "Yeah, we like that.

That's good."

I think they like

peace over war.

So Trump is not only

the candidate

of the silent majority,

the forgotten Americans,

the candidate of law and order,

but he is also

the candidate of peace.

So at this moment,

it's October 20th...

Yes.

What needs to happen for

Donald Trump to be president?

I would concede

that, in my belief,

Mrs. Clinton is probably

slightly ahead.

But Trump is Trump.

He's good in the clutch,

and he could still

eke this out

under the right sequence

of events.

Trump may need some brakes,

but to say that he's out of it?

Over?

Did you say over?

Right. Right.

Nothing's over

till we say it is.

Okay.

This has been excellent.

You'll edit out

all the good sh*t.

Come on, dude, you think

I'm in charge of that?

Some other liberal is.

For you, Roger,

f***in' Attila the Hun

is liberal.

True.

dramatic music

[Blitzer] We've got

some breaking news

I want to bring

to our viewers right now.

A new possible investigation

by the FBI

into Hillary Clinton's emails.

[man] In a letter

to members of Congress,

Director Comey said the FBI

has learned

of the existence of emails

that appear

to be pertinent

to the investigation.

[camera shutters clicking]

The director himself has said

he doesn't know

whether the emails

referenced in his letter

are significant or not.

[Halperin] He has--

this is not the way

the Justice Department

is supposed to work.

This is a case of great

public interest, I get that.

But you're not supposed to be

trying cases in public

like this.

So irresponsible.

[Halperin] Eleven days

before the election.

[Heilemann] So irresponsible.

[Halperin]

The question to me now...

[exhales]

Just this morning,

I was saying that

it would take some

catastrophic external event

to change the trajectory

of this race.

This could be it.
