Donald Trump knows this election is over, except for a few demented people over at Breitbart News. But they're clinging to an alternative reality anyway, and it's depressing to be depressing, folks. This is a full-scale disaster, and Hillary Clinton's looking to exploit it, and Republicans are too short-sighted to stop it. But Trump is perfectly happy to watch Republicans and conservatives go down in fiery ruin, just so he can feel good about the size of his hands. And Hillary knows it, too. She thought she could draw Republicans to her side if she created an option to escape Trump. Now that she knows she's gonna win big, she's going in for the kill. She's linking all Republicans to Trump, hoping to win the House. Here's what she just tweeted this morning: "She's trying to tie them together. She wants to link them all together. That's why Paul Ryan got booed after refusing to invite Donald Trump to an event on Saturday. In theory, that's fine. In practice, it's going to be the equivalent of a Viking funeral. The Viking dies, the community insists that his widow climbs on the funeral pyre with him. And burn them all on the pyre." Trump's pride demands that if his candidacy is dead, everyone shall burn with him like the heathen kings of old, and burn they shall. That s why he probably doesn't think things will be that bad if Hillary and the Democrats are elected in November. And maybe you can vote for him. Let's be clear: Trump isn't a conservative. He's not a conservative, he's a racist, he s a racist and a misogynist, which means he s racist, which is a white guy who went easy on the KKK. And maybe that's a good thing. And he s not racist, right? And maybe he doesn't know the Bible is a bad thing? -- you can't be a racist? -- and maybe you should vote for Trump -- is that a point of view? . Or maybe you ve said it at least once, but it's possible you can be a Republican? And you veered off the rails and say it's not racist? You ve ve got a point about it. -- but you ve ve said so? -- is it possible you ve got it right? -- but it means you ve done it? -- or you ve s got a problem? -- right?
00:00:02.000According to a new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, Donald Trump is now collapsing.
00:00:06.000He's down 52% to 38% to Hillary Clinton in a two-way race.
00:00:11.000He's down 46% to 35% in a four-way race.
00:00:14.000In the generic congressional ballot, Democrats now outstrip Republicans by 49 to 42.
00:00:20.000Trump is not merely losing, he's dragging the entire GOP down with him, just in time to hand complete power to Hillary Clinton and her Democratic allies in the House and Senate.
00:01:48.000That's why Paul Ryan got booed after refusing to invite Donald Trump to an event on Saturday, the day after news of the blank tape broke.
00:01:57.000Here's Robert Costa of the Washington Post reporting just that.
00:02:06.000So, the hemorrhaging of Republicans away from Trump has stopped for the moment, even if some like Speaker of the House Paul Ryan are gradually attempting to edge away quietly like Homer Simpson into a bush.
00:02:54.000He probably doesn't think things will be that bad if Hillary and the Democrats are elected, which is why he gave money to them for 30 years.
00:02:59.000That's the sick joke of this election cycle.
00:03:01.000His supporters think it's the end of the world if Hillary and the Democrats take over, and they're pretty much close to right.
00:03:06.000But Trump is perfectly happy to watch Republicans and conservatives go down in fiery ruin just so he can feel good about the size of his hands.
00:03:42.000By forcing Republicans to lash themselves to the Trumpian Titanic as it takes on water, he's forced them to destroy their own arguments and their own cause.
00:03:50.000Republicans have spent decades fighting the leftist false narrative of a broad American war on women, and now they're spending all their time writing off talk of sexual assault as locker room talk.
00:03:59.000Republicans have spent decades telling voters character matters.
00:04:02.000And then when their candidate brags about attempting to F married women, they shrug it off by citing King David because apparently they don't know the Bible all that well.
00:04:09.000Republicans have said they're not racist and neither is America, which is true.
00:04:12.000And then they brush off the guy who went easy on the KKK and used textbook racism, in the words of Paul Ryan, against a judge of Mexican descent.
00:04:18.000They're giving Democrats all the fodder they'll need for decades more of crap and false arguments about the evils of Republicans and the American people.
00:04:32.000As I've said thousands of times at this point, it's possible to condemn in the strongest terms all of Trump's evils and still make a lesser of two evils choice.
00:04:40.000But many Republican leaders aren't capable of the cognitive dissonance.
00:04:44.000So instead, they make excuses for Trump, and they make light of his disgusting rhetoric and action, and they lose women, and they lose minorities, and they lose an entire generation of young voters in the process, not to mention their souls.
00:05:13.000Okay, sorry for the depressing lead there, folks, but I just decided I would get the ugly stuff out of the way.
00:05:18.000So we'll talk about the debate last night, which went better for Trump than was expected.
00:05:21.000Of course, the expectations were that he would spontaneously combust, burst into a ball of flame, hurl himself on Hillary Clinton, and then they would both burn down to cinder.
00:05:30.000So we'll talk about that, and we'll talk about, you know, the fallout from that, the fallout for the Republican Party, because there's just a lot happened over the weekend.
00:05:36.000We did a Friday show, but it was too early in the day, so we missed all of the Trump
00:06:09.000Luxury sheets can cost up to $1,000 in the store, but Bowlin' Brand Sheets are only a couple of hundred bucks, so you get them for a good price.
00:06:15.000And if you think, oh, well, that sounds expensive for a set of sheets, remember, you're sleeping on these things every night, and they really do affect the quality of your sleep.
00:06:24.000They have thousands of five-star reviews, and I believe there are three former presidents who have slept on them, which means that three former presidents and not Hillary Clinton have slept on them, because Bill and Hillary have never actually shared a pair of sheets.
00:06:36.000Or if they did, it was many, many years ago, one time, and that's how Chelsea was born.
00:06:40.000In any case, Bull and Branch are the sheets, and they are fantastic.
00:06:43.000If you go to their website right now, bullandbranch.com, bullandbranch.com, B-U-L-L-A-N-B-R-A-N-C-H.com, use the promo code Ben,
00:08:36.000I mean, like, this is who Trump is, and he's always said this kind of stuff.
00:08:38.000I mean, in the same tape, he brags about trying to F a married woman, and that's been completely overlooked because of this particular comment.
00:08:45.000And Trump, of course, says that this is just locker room talk.
00:08:47.000So I want to break this down for a second, okay?
00:08:49.000Yes, it turns out that men talk dirty about women a lot.
00:08:53.000It turns out that we think women are sexual creatures, and we say things about their body parts, and welcome to the real world.
00:08:59.000By the way, I'm under the impression, according to Sex and the City, women do the same thing about men.
00:09:03.000So the idea that men and women don't talk about each other sexually is just silly talk.
00:09:08.000That said, there's actual bad stuff on this tape, okay?
00:09:10.000When you talk about wanting to eff married women,
00:09:13.000I don't want to hear anymore about how Donald Trump has repented and he's just like King David and he's just like Abraham and he's just like all of the founders of religion, that he's an adulterous cretin who's never apologized for anything and brags about having sex with married women, but he's just like all of the great men in the Bible.
00:09:36.000When he says, I just go up to women and I just kiss them and they don't do anything about it because I'm famous, that is called sexual assault.
00:09:45.000As someone who respects women, as someone who has a wife and three sisters and a daughter and a mother, as somebody who actually believes that women are to be treasured in terms of how you behave toward them, as someone who has never ever attempted to
00:10:18.000He really has attempted to kiss women without their permission, and he just does it randomly.
00:10:21.000I mean, the New York Times reported this back in May.
00:10:23.000They said that he used to go in the Miss Universe dressing rooms and just walk up to women and kiss them on the lips without any sort of forewarning, without even knowing them, just walk up to them.
00:10:32.000And the reason that Billy Bush is laughing, by the way, is not because Billy Bush is a uniquely bad guy.
00:10:36.000It's because everyone in Hollywood acts like this is OK.
00:10:39.000As somebody who lives in L.A., grew up in L.A., knows a lot of Hollywood people, when you say—when Hollywood and the media and the Democrats complain about Trump doing this, let's just be clear.
00:10:49.000Hollywood and the media and the Democrats all do this, okay?
00:10:51.000NBC knew he did all this crap for 20 years, and they put him on The Apprentice and left him there and talked him up as a great god-king genius.
00:10:58.000I mean, this tape was lying around the archives at Access Hollywood, and nobody bothered to turn that over to management?
00:11:41.000Understand, when you do that, you're handing the Democrats every single thing they want in life.
00:11:45.000All they want in life is for you to write off talk about sexual assault as no big deal while they're still trying to claim there's a culture of rape and war on women.
00:13:18.000Okay, so, what that formed up into over the weekend was a lot of people saying that Trump should drop out.
00:13:22.000One of the people saying Trump should drop out is Senator Mike Lee, who never endorsed Trump in the first place, and is one of the few honest people left in the United States Congress.
00:13:29.000I really like Mike Lee, like, personally, and also as a politician.
00:13:34.000Now, there is a way here for Mr. Trump to have a legacy in this election cycle, and for his supporters who are really energetic, who have done a whole lot of good as far as expanding the party, to have a lasting legacy that could mean something here, and that is for Donald Trump to step aside.
00:13:54.000Okay, so he says that we need to get rid of Donald Trump.
00:14:06.000Now, we'll talk about Trump's reaction, and we'll talk about all the rest of this, the debate, in just a second.
00:14:10.000I want to make a quick note, and then I have to take a break really quickly for another ad, but here's the quick note, okay folks?
00:14:16.000I know this isn't pleasant to talk about.
00:14:18.000You think that I'm sitting here, chortling over this?
00:14:22.000And I wish that none of this mattered.
00:14:23.000I wish that Donald Trump could say stuff like this, and, you know, it wouldn't make any difference.
00:14:28.000First of all, I don't wish he could say stuff like this.
00:14:30.000I don't think anyone should say stuff like this, because I don't.
00:14:32.000I believe I'm a gentleman, and I think that that matters to people.
00:14:35.000And all these people who think that it's being a pansy to be nice to women, and not say nasty things about women, I would just recommend they check their morals handbook again.
00:14:42.000I wish that we lived in a world where these weren't the candidates.
00:14:44.000I wish that Donald Trump were a better candidate.
00:14:46.000I wish that Republicans weren't blowing this.
00:14:48.000I wish that the polls didn't show what the polls show.
00:14:50.000If you come here, I'm not going to give you happy talk about what's going to happen in this election.
00:14:55.000I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear.
00:14:56.000If you want to hear what you want to hear, there are plenty of other places you can get it.
00:14:59.000If you want to hear this morning only about how Donald Trump is still going to win this election, and things are going to be grand and glorious, and he's going to appoint the ghost of Justice Scalia to the bench, and the Republicans are going to win 80 seats in the Senate.
00:15:09.000If you want to hear all that crap, there are plenty of places you can go, and those places will also tell you that people like me own it when things go bad.
00:15:15.000There are plenty of places for you to go for the happy talk.
00:15:18.000You're not going to get the happy talk here.
00:15:22.000And if you don't like it, well, tough.
00:15:24.000Because the fact is that my job is not to lie to you.
00:15:27.000And honestly, I don't think that it's worthwhile that any... I think the reason we got here is people lying to you.
00:15:31.000I think the reason that we got here is that there are a lot of people, Trump supporters included, who were lied to all through the primaries and all the way up to now, who were told that Donald Trump was not only a good conservative, but were also told that not only would he be the only one who could fight, but he would be the only one capable of winning, and that when he fought, he would win.
00:15:48.000And I don't think that was true at the time, and I don't think it's true now, and I'm telling you the poll numbers because numbers matter.
00:15:54.000And I want to hear about stupid online polls from Matt Drudge about 97% versus 3%.
00:15:57.000I love the Drudge report too, but online polls don't mean anything.
00:16:00.000I'm going to give you the poll results and I'm going to tell you, there's now a serious danger that Republicans lose everything to Hillary Clinton so long as they lash themselves to the mast of this Titanic.
00:16:09.000If you lash yourselves, I mean, Donald Trump is now in the midst of an electrical, a raging electrical fire.
00:16:14.000All that happened in that debate last night is that he gave cover to people who still want to stick with him on the Republican political side, or at least he pressured people to stick with him on the Republican political side.
00:16:23.000But the polls show that he is still in the middle of a raging electrical fire.
00:16:27.000Now if you want to vote for him, you can still vote for him.
00:16:31.000I don't think you're morally lesser for voting for Donald Trump if you think that he's worse, if you think he's better than Hillary Clinton.
00:16:42.000That said, I'm not going to lie to you about what's going to happen.
00:16:44.000I'm not going to pretend your vote is going to be the difference between Donald Trump winning and Donald Trump losing.
00:16:48.000I'm telling you, the only thing that's going to make a difference now, the only thing that's going to make a difference, is don't defend stupid, nasty things that people do and say.
00:16:55.000Don't defend evil things that people do and say.
00:16:58.000Stand up for principle, no matter who you're voting for, and then vote down ticket.
00:17:01.000Because I promise you, things are not going to be ugly, they're going to be horrendous, if Hillary Clinton is elected, and if there's no Republican Congress to stop her.
00:17:09.000Okay, that said, I want to say hello to our advertiser over at Birch Gold.
00:17:12.000So, Birch Gold Group, if you're worried about the future of the country, and I certainly am, you may want to look into investing in precious metals.
00:17:18.000Birch Gold Group are the people who I would trust to do that.
00:17:20.000They have a longstanding track record of great success, thousands of satisfied clients, countless five-star reviews, an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
00:17:28.000They have a 16-page kit that reveals how gold and silver can protect your savings and also how you can move your money from 401k or stock option and the stock market into the precious metals IRA.
00:17:40.000To get that kit, you can call Birchgold Group at 800-496-6663.
00:18:53.000We're talking about McGovern-type numbers.
00:18:55.000We're talking about Walter Mondale-type numbers.
00:18:58.000It's going to be very, very, very ugly.
00:19:01.000And the worst part is, he's now going to drag other people down with him.
00:19:04.000Because here's the other thing that he tweeted.
00:19:06.000Quote, so many self-righteous hypocrites watch their poll numbers and elections go down.
00:19:11.000I remember, I'm old enough to remember when Donald Trump said we all had to vote for Donald Trump because he was going to save the Supreme Court.
00:19:17.000Let's say that Trump were by some miracle to get elected.
00:19:19.000Let's say that he were to win for some reason.
00:19:21.000Okay, something were to happen and it were to come out that Hillary Clinton once had sex with a Russian horse or something and it came out in the emails released by the Russians.
00:19:50.000I'll still vote for him, but I'm not going to campaign or defend Trump, because I'm not going to get burned and burn all the members of the House having to defend all of Trump's horrible statements that are going to come out.
00:19:58.000By the way, if you think that the only shoe to drop is this P-word video, get ready, gang.
00:20:02.000It's going to be 12 days of Christmas for the media, because this is just—there's going to be a gift every single day, and I'll tell you what the next gifts are going to be in just a minute, because it was perfectly set up last night, and Trump fell right into it.
00:20:13.000Okay, Trump's response to Paul Ryan was, Speaker Ryan should go back to being crappy at his job, basically.
00:20:21.000This is the guy running for president on the Republican ticket.
00:20:23.000Quote, Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs, and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee.
00:20:31.000That's what Trump is tweeting out at his own Speaker of the House.
00:20:34.000Yeah, clearly this is a guy who cares deeply about what happens to the Republican Party.
00:20:38.000He doesn't care about the Republican Party.
00:20:39.000He has no interest in what happens here.
00:22:30.000Most people have been very nice to Kellyanne Conway because they've said, what a wonderful job she's done containing Trump for most of this.
00:22:37.000And then up until the last couple of weeks, that was true.
00:22:39.000And then the monster escaped the basement, as I like to say.
00:22:42.000He broke free of his chains and decided to assault a small child.
00:22:45.000So Kellyanne Conway has been sort of the bright spot in this campaign.
00:24:13.000And the only way to escape the wrath of Kellyanne Conway going on national TV and suggesting that you're groping up the interns is for you to vote for Donald Trump?
00:24:32.000When you have a member of your own party accusing members of your own party, without evidence and without names, of sexually assaulting women.
00:24:39.000First of all, if she wants to protect other women, wouldn't you assume she'd name them?
00:25:41.000I believe that this is not the man that we're talking about today.
00:25:45.000Okay, so he refuses to answer the question whether he's talked like that.
00:25:48.000Okay, so I'll be straight with you, okay?
00:25:49.000I'm not somebody who fancies hanging out in locker rooms.
00:25:52.000I'm not that interested in looking at other sweaty, naked male dudes, okay?
00:25:55.000That's not something I'm interested in.
00:25:56.000My goal in the locker room is to get dressed and get out of there as quickly as possible before I see some 60-year-old walking through hanging.
00:29:26.000Or the wife coming up later and patting her hand and saying, thank you for everything you do for us, which is what she said to Juanita Broderick, allegedly.
00:29:34.000Or saying that Kathleen Willey was some bimbo or floozy.
00:29:37.000Which do you think that women think is worse?
00:29:39.000The sexual assault and the guy bragging about it, or the lady who's sort of covering for it later?
00:30:09.000And making some moves and doing his best to attempt to avoid stepping in the bear trap.
00:30:16.000And so, I'll say up front, I mean, I said at the top of the show, I think Trump won the debate in the sense that Trump's goal here was to survive.
00:30:36.000All of the other Republicans back into the train with him, which is good for him and very bad for the Republican Party.
00:30:42.000The best thing that might have been able to happen for the Republican Party is if the dudes toast anyway, have him utterly blow up last night, and then everyone sort of leaves, and then the Senate and House races become completely separate from Trump.
00:30:52.000But he was good enough last night to rope them back on.
00:30:55.000And so instead of it just being a giant party implosion right now, October 10th, it's going to be a slow rolling implosion all the way up to November 8th, which is probably worst case scenario.
00:31:03.000Since everything has gone as badly as it possibly could go in 2016, of course that's how this goes.
00:31:09.000So Trump starts off the debate and the first question, and I will say the moderators were awful, the questions were awful, Martha Raddatz
00:31:38.000The last presidential debate could have been rated as M.A., Mature Audiences per TV Parental Guidelines.
00:31:46.000Knowing the educators assigned viewing the presidential debate to students' homework, do you feel you are modeling appropriate and positive behavior for today's youth?
00:31:58.000Yes, I think that that's a very good question because I've heard from lots of teachers and parents about some of their concerns about some of the things that are being said and done in this campaign.
00:32:12.000And I think it is very important for us to make clear to our children that our country really is great because we're good.
00:32:22.000So I just want to point out, she's paraphrasing Alexis de Tocqueville, who's a French philosopher who visited the United States around 1830.
00:32:28.000Of course, she won't cite the rest of the quote.
00:32:29.000The rest of the quote is that he looked for the goodness of America in her harbors, and he looked for the goodness of America in her Constitution, which is wonderful, and in the Declaration, and he found it in her churches.
00:32:39.000He found the goodness of America in her churches.
00:32:41.000The greatness of America was in the fire from the pulpit.
00:32:44.000Which is, of course, all the stuff that she opposes.
00:32:46.000But she says, America, if we're good, then we'll be great.
00:32:50.000And you can see Trump is in the background just growling because this question was absolutely designed as, OK, Hillary, hit him across the face as hard as you possibly can.
00:33:37.000Okay, so all of this is going well so far.
00:33:39.000At this juncture, we have to play Good Trump, Bad Trump, simply because Lindsey's here and she's never—Lindsey's the creator of Good Trump, Bad Trump, by the way.
00:33:46.000She created—actually, did I create the concept of Good Trump, Bad Trump, and then you created the heads, or did you actually create Good Trump, Bad Trump out of— You said, this is a good example of Trump being good.
00:33:57.000And then we— Oh, that's— You walked in one day and I had put the heads on six— That's exactly—
00:34:02.000It was a coordinated effort, and Lindsey sings to inanimate objects, and that's how we came up with Good Trump, Bad Trump, so we have to play the theme because she's never seen it.
00:35:46.000And we should get on to much more important things and much bigger things.
00:35:50.000Just for the record, though, are you saying that what you said on that bus 11 years ago, that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent?
00:36:22.000Secretary Clinton, do you want to respond?
00:36:25.000Well, like everyone else, I've spent a lot of time thinking over the last 48 hours about what we heard and saw.
00:36:34.000You know, with prior Republican nominees for president, I disagreed with them on politics, policies, principles, but I never questioned their fitness to serve.
00:38:09.000The first two times, Trump shies away.
00:38:11.000The third time, Trump says, no, I have not.
00:38:14.000That is going to be the clip that they play a thousand times because the fact is that what you're now going to see for a week, I promise you this, you're going to see for at least a week a bunch of women, beautiful young women, come out and say Donald Trump did exactly what he talked about to me.
00:38:28.000Because the New York Times is reporting this back in May.
00:38:30.000The New York Times is reporting all the way back in May that there were women at the Miss Universe pageant who said that Donald Trump approached them and then would just kiss them without permission.
00:38:44.000I mean, what you do is you push and you push until you get an answer that you're looking for, and then that's the baton that you wield against people, right?
00:38:50.000Anybody who's ever questioned anybody as a prosecutor, as a lawyer, or as a journalist knows how to do this.
00:39:03.000So, big mistake by Trump there, because that was the entire purpose of this line of questioning.
00:39:07.000Here's the quote, by the way, from the New York Times, May 15, 2016, quote, Temple Taggart, the 21-year-old Miss Utah, was startled by how forward he was with young contestants like her in 1997, his first year as the owner of Miss USA.
00:39:18.000As she recalls it, he introduced himself in an unusually intimate manner, quote,
00:42:44.000He had to pay an $850,000 fine to one of the women, Paula Jones, who's also here tonight.
00:42:52.000And 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.
00:43:10.000I will point out here that he misses the knockout punch, which is, if you're going to hit her with this, you hit her with Juanita Broderick.
00:43:16.000I mean, your husband raped somebody, and then you intimidated her.
00:43:19.000And then what you should have said is, Hillary Clinton, Juanita Broderick is here with us tonight.
00:43:22.000Do you have any words that you want to say to Juanita Broderick?
00:43:23.000Would you like to apologize to Juanita Broderick?
00:43:26.000You force her into the corner if you really want to deliver the knockout blow.
00:43:34.000Well, you owe the president an apology because, as you know very well, your campaign— Sorry, I'll pause it for one second.
00:43:41.000She says, first, let me say so much of what he said is not right, but he gets to run his campaign any way he chooses.
00:43:46.000And then she says, when they go low, you go high.
00:43:48.000So she tries to pretend that none of this ever happened, or she just acts like it never happened, and she just kind of glosses right over it.
00:44:02.000It doesn't stick to her quite as much as the comments stick to him because they're all allegations and because they're not on tape and they can't replay the tape every five seconds on the news as they will all day today and as they have.
00:44:14.000This is the turning point in the debate.
00:44:15.000This is when Trump goes on offense, and he stays on offense basically the rest of the debate.
00:44:18.000And this is why he does well in the debate.
00:44:20.000He does better than he's supposed to in the debate, because Donald Trump's goal in this debate is basically to keep her on the defensive and also not to die.
00:44:29.000I mean, that's basically his goal, is not to watch his campaign completely fall apart.
00:44:33.000OK, got to take a quick break here for another advertiser, NatureBox.
00:44:37.000So, people around the office have told me that the stuff in this is really, really good.
00:44:41.000You go to naturebox.com slash ben, and you can pick snacks and they send them to your house, they send them to your office, and instead of eating chips and cookies and junk, they actually send you stuff that people in the office, they say it tastes delicious, they have a hundred snacks to choose from, from healthy to indulgent, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors or sweeteners.
00:45:00.000So you go there, you pick your snacks, and you enjoy, and they have this tremendous variety, you can pick whichever snacks you want in this box, and they're offering you two free snacks when you go to naturebox.com slash ben, which is pretty cool, because they're, you know, the snacks are great.
00:45:11.000Avoid the guilt, go to naturebox.com slash ben, you get two delicious snacks for free, and it's naturebox.com slash ben, and they have a list, I mean a really long list here, of what these treats are.
00:45:23.000And I mean, they range from things like vanilla bean wafers, down to fruit stars, and I mean,
00:45:28.000Everybody in the office, all the people in the office eat them and they say that they're absolutely wonderful.
00:46:14.000I was so surprised to see him sign on with the devil.
00:46:18.000But when you talk about apology, I think the one that you should really be apologizing for and the thing that you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 emails that you deleted and that you acid washed.
00:46:32.000And then the two boxes of emails and other things last week that were taken from an office and are now missing.
00:46:41.000I didn't think I'd say this, but I'm going to say it.
00:46:44.000And I hate to say it, but if I win, I am going to instruct my Attorney General to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there has never been so many lies, so much deception.
00:47:00.000There has never been anything like it.
00:47:02.000And we're going to have a special prosecutor.
00:47:07.000The people of this country are furious.
00:47:10.000In my opinion, the people that have been long-term workers at the FBI are furious.
00:47:15.000There has never been anything like this, where emails, and you get a subpoena, you get a subpoena, and after getting the subpoena, you delete 33,000 emails.
00:47:26.000And then you acid-wash them, or bleach them, as you would say.
00:47:30.000Okay, by the way, just in breaking news, Katrina Pearson is now tweeting that, quote, I can't keep my phone charged due to the mass volume of texts from people all over the country who will vote Trump but not down-ballot.
00:47:41.000So, again, now his entire campaign team is trying to actively sabotage Republican chances.
00:48:24.000Last time, at the first debate, we had millions of people fact-checking, so I expect we'll have millions more fact-checking because, you know, it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.
00:49:32.000Second of all, when he says that you'd be in jail, he means because you're guilty and I would appoint a special prosecutor to look into your guilt, not I'm going to unilaterally grab you and throw you into a prison like a Ukrainian dictator, right?
00:49:46.000So she's now on the ropes and she continues to be on the ropes because whenever he's attacking her, and I've been saying this the entire election cycle,
00:49:54.000When she attacks him, she's 100% right.
00:49:56.000When they defend themselves, they are lying 100% of the time.
00:49:59.000So here is Donald Trump, and this is Hillary Clinton saying that she takes classified materials seriously, and Donald Trump slamming the living crap out of her.
00:50:06.000I take classified materials very seriously, and always have.
00:50:10.000When I was on the Senate Armed Services Committee, I was privy to a lot of classified material.
00:50:16.000Obviously, as Secretary of State, I had some of the
00:50:20.000And yet, she didn't know the letter C on a document.
00:51:47.000I didn't in the first debate, and I'm going to try not to in this debate, because I'd like to get to the questions that the people have brought here tonight to talk to us about.
00:52:12.000She's trying to get off the question, and he's right that she's trying to get off the question, and she's right that he's also trying to get off his campaign.
00:52:18.000So again, anything they say about each other is 100% true.
00:52:20.000Everything else they say is almost always a lie.
00:52:24.000Okay, so finally they get to some real questions, and they talk about Obamacare, and he's good, and she's not.
00:52:29.000And then they talk about Muslims, and this is the point where
00:52:34.000There are 3.3 million Muslims in the United States, and I'm one of them.
00:52:47.000You've mentioned working with Muslim nations, but with Islamophobia on the rise, how will you help people like me deal with the consequences of being labeled as a threat to the country after the election is over?
00:53:37.000Muslims have to report the problems when they see them.
00:53:44.000You know, there's always a reason for everything.
00:53:47.000If they don't do that, it's a very difficult situation for our country.
00:53:52.000Because you look at Orlando, and you look at San Bernardino, and you look at the World Trade Center, go outside, you look at Paris, look at that horrible... These are radical Islamic terrorists.
00:54:02.000He said—and this is Trump's stump speech—all of which would be effective and bracing and somewhat refreshing about, yes, Islamophobia is a problem when it occurs, but we're significantly more worried about Islamic terrorism than people saying mean things about radical Islamic terrorism.
00:54:18.000That would all be fine and good, except that it's coming from Donald Trump, except that it's coming from Donald Trump.
00:55:35.000Convincing other people, he used other arguments.
00:55:37.000That was a great, I thought, a great display of presidential leadership.
00:55:45.000Okay, so she blames the movie Lincoln for her saying that she lies to people, basically, and Trump hits her on it, and this was Trump's—this really was Trump's high point of the night.
00:55:52.000Again, there were a bunch of high points for Trump, but it's too late.
00:55:55.000I mean, so I'll tell you what the impact of this debate is in a second, but here's Donald Trump hitting her over the Lincoln comments, and this was—you know, people were saying this is a high point for him.
00:56:02.000I think it was very funny, but it's—but he didn't mean it to be funny because—just watch it.
00:56:46.000You can see how upset she is because, like, the reason that I find this clip so amusing is because when he says the late, great Abraham Lincoln, he's not even sure he's joking until he gets to the end of the phrase.
00:57:59.000What would you do about Syria and the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo?
00:58:04.000And I want to remind you what your running mate said.
00:58:08.000He said provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength and that if Russia continues to be involved in airstrikes along with the Syrian government forces of Assad, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike the military targets of the Assad regime.
00:58:27.000He and I haven't spoken, and I disagree.
00:58:39.000Syria is Russia, and it's Iran, who she made strong, and Kerry, and Obama, made into a very powerful nation, and a very rich nation, very, very quickly.
00:58:52.000Okay, so he dumps Mike Pence right under the bus, and Mike Pence sits—after this debate, before this debate, by the way, there were rumors that Mike Pence was going to drop out of the race, that he was so upset with the tape on Friday and Trump's handling of it, that he was going to dump out.
00:59:05.000And then after the debate, he congratulated Donald Trump on his big win from his kennel in the basement of Winterfell.
01:00:29.000And now all that's happened is that a lot of people are going to be—now the divisions in the Republican Party have actually been accentuated, because a lot of people are now going to try to force people into the car with Donald Trump.
01:00:39.000There's a big protest as we sit here right now.
01:00:42.000There's a very large protest, apparently, happening outside the headquarters of the Republican National Committee, trying to pressure them into extending more support for Trump, even as he collapses.
01:00:51.000And there are signs there saying things like, better to—better to grab a P-word than to be one.
01:00:58.000Meaning that you're pansying out if you don't back Donald Trump.
01:01:08.000This is about the Senate and the House.
01:01:10.000And Donald Trump is now actively in the act of sabotaging his own party in order to assure that he only loses by 7 as opposed to losing by 10.
01:01:17.000Or in order to assure that they can't walk away from him and smack him on the way out.
01:01:20.000We're all going to have to burn on this pyre with him, and the debate actually in some ways hurts the Republican Party more than helping them, because it provides this thread of logic that allows them to maintain their ties to Trump.
01:01:31.000It almost would have been better, as I said at the very beginning, almost would have been better for the Republican Party, now that it's clear that Trump is toast.
01:01:37.000It might have been better for them if he had gone out and absolutely made a fool of himself.
01:01:41.000He didn't, and that's just going to prolong the agony.
01:01:43.000So now all that's happening is that his campaign is in hospice.
01:01:47.000When they say he stopped the bleeding,
01:01:49.000That's true in the same sense that you stop the bleeding from somebody who's already bled out.
01:01:53.000There's not a lot more blood to give here.
01:01:55.000Or maybe there is, and we'll find out what it is.
01:01:57.000I don't know how you go lower than 38% in a national poll, but we may find new lows here.
01:02:19.000I thought that Trump reflected a lot of that agenda.
01:02:21.000I thought he was going to poison the Republican base and the Republican Party.
01:02:24.000I thought he was going to demonstrate to the electorate that Republicans should never have power.
01:02:29.000And he's been doing that, four square.
01:02:31.000The only way to stop this right now is for people to quietly distance themselves from Trump and just take the hit from his supporters, because this is, you know,
01:02:50.000Not stupid online polls that don't mean anything.
01:02:53.000Please, for the love of God, live in the real world.
01:02:55.000Then we can have a conversation if you live in the real world.
01:02:57.000We can't have a conversation if you're going to live in a fantasy world where I am the only thing standing between Donald Trump and victory.
01:03:03.000The thing standing between Donald Trump and victory is, was, and always has been Donald Trump.
01:04:04.000And I'm a believer in the theory of evolution, by the way, and it's a fascinating book and uncovers some aspects of the theory of evolution that really have been ignored for too long.
01:04:14.000Now, something else that I like, and I liked it more, I think, you know, before Kellyanne Conway decided that it was more important for her to be a Donald Trump surrogate than a good person.
01:04:24.000But Saturday Night Live did a bit on Kellyanne Conway and what her day is like lately, and this is what her day off looks like.
01:04:31.000SNL is very rarely funny, and we'll hit them again in a second, but this is actually quite funny.
01:05:05.000Breaking news, Donald Trump has tweeted yet again that Hillary Clinton cheated on her husband.
01:05:10.000Kellyanne, how do you defend this tweet?
01:05:12.000Jake, that's unfair, because what Mr. Trump was getting at here clearly is not that Hillary cheated on Bill, but that she's been cheating the American people for decades.
01:05:36.000It's her exercising, folks, and then her phone rings, and naturally... Okay, Jake, so this tweet is actually taken out of context.
01:05:44.000Of course Mr. Trump thinks that Mexicans can read, and actually, what he wants them to read the most is Hillary Clinton's 33,000 missing emails.
01:06:11.000Mr. Trump did the deaf voice at his rally this morning so that deaf people could hear him, too.
01:06:20.000Okay, so yes, Mr. Trump did challenge Obama to a penis-off, and if the president would simply produce his penis, we could get back to talking about what's really important, which is jobs.
01:06:39.000Yes, he did say that it is gross to watch gay people eat pasta because he wants them to eat healthy foods.
01:07:59.000Yeah, I had a really nice olive suit that I love a great deal, and my mother would have been very proud to see me wearing on television.
01:08:06.000But apparently I've gained about 30 pounds, and when I went to get in my car the morning of the debate, I split the seat of my pants all the way open.
01:08:13.000So the red sweater is plan B. I'm glad it worked out.
01:08:17.000See, that's why people love you on the internet, because you're refreshingly honest.
01:09:40.000Mr. Trump, this leaked audio showed you saying, you know, I can't quite say it on live television, but basically you said you wanted to grab them by the...
01:10:19.000What I am doing is apologizing to all the people who were offended by my statements, but more importantly, to the people who were turned on by them.
01:12:13.000Go listen to Clavin's show or go over to Breitbart where they have Fantasyland Trump and he's winning by 13 points and the skies are all blue and everything is wonderful.
01:12:22.000So, OK, we will be back tomorrow and hopefully we'll have less depressing news for you then.
