copy right, rights. a lot depends on whether rally organizers paid licensing fees which we couldn't find out. it may be r.e.m.'s song, but it is not music to their ears when they hear it over the donald's face. jeanne moos, cnn. ♪ the end of the world >> reporter: new york. >> thank you for joining us. ac 360 starts right now. >> good evening. thank you for joining us. there is a lot going on tonight. breaking news -- how we begin. the moment that 16 republican presidential contenders, their campaigns and millions of voters have been waiting for has arrived. it was six days to go until we bring you the next republican debate. after crunching the latest polling numbers, some as recent as today we can tell you which candidates will be in the primetime event at reagan line braer here line -- library on cnn and who will take place earlier in the other debate. in a bruising brawling day within the gop field. first the debate lineup. chief national correspondent

john king has go out. he joins us now. so who is in, john? >> anderson, donald trump, the man in the middle driving the republican race. 11 candidates on stage for the debate. a week away. new face carly fiorina, the slingshot candidate from the early, single candidate lesser candidate debate. she will join. the man in the middle will be donald trump. dr. ben carson. jeb bush next to him. ted cruz and scott walker. texas senator, wisconsin governor. carly fiorina business woman. marco rubio the senator. governor huckabee, governor paul. governor kasich and chris christie. why? if you take a look at our late numbers releasing to day. look at that. the first time donald trump above 30%. he is far and away now the national front-runner in the race. ben carson, 19. jeb bush, 9%. scott walker, 5%. look at the lineup for the primetime debate. 11 candidates. donald trump still the front-runner in the middle.

carly fiorina the new face. the big primetime dynamic the show you quickly earlier debate, five candidates. governor rick perry of texas, senator santorum, jichltndal an pataki. struggling in the polls. our recent poll, anderson, santorum, 1, jindal at 1. at some point the field will slin sequeste shrink. >> as trump's support continues to increase do we know where it comes from? >> this is what makes the trump phenomenon, from summer into fall. fascinating first. raw numbers. 32%. first time he cracked 32% in the polling. ben carson at 19. governor bush at 9. ted cruz watch this as it plays out. bring the numbers in. donald trump is on the upswing. going the way you want to go as a political candidate from 12%, 24% 3, 2%. ben carson, 8, 9, 19%.

the man the front-runner in the spring. cut almost in half jeb bush down to 9%. ted cruz coming up a bit as we go into the debate. interesting to watch. appeals to evangelicals. keep the growth going. donald trump the man of the moment. why is that? take a look at support. 71% of those who support donald trump in the poll say they do so because of his positions on the issues. this will frustrate rivals? he wants to raise taxes? once pro-choice. he is for single payer health care plan. how can republican saz part hs . rivals will try to reveal that. and so broad. 31% of republican men. stunning. tripled from june. 11% of republican women in june. 33% of republican wicof women. 41% of tea party. 32%, are neutral on the tea party over trump. support getting bigger, wider. deeper. broader, anderson. >> switch in terms of which candidate, republicans believe will end up actually getting the

nomination? >> the more republicans hear from donald trump, the more republicans those who don't support him think he will be the republican nominee. 32% in our poll for support for the nomination. 41% of republicans, four in ten republicans believe donald trump will be their nominee for the general election in 2016. only 22% believe that about jeb bush now. that's down quite a bit. that is more than doubled what it was just a couple months ago. donald trump, likelihood, republicans thinking he is going to be their nominee. only caveat add to that. great number for donald trump. helps him, anderson. at this point. four years ago. same percentage. 41% of republicans said rick perry would be their nominee. didn't turn out that way. >> john, fascinating. look at the numbers. perspective from jeffrey lord, amanda carpenter, trump supporter and white house political director, former, and communications direct irfor ted cruz, and senior adviser for concerned american voters, a pro rand paul super pac.

amanda, the debate lineup, donald trump with the commanding lead. sparring not just with jeb bush as he has been. also dr. ben carson and carly fiorina. to say nothing of all the other candidates who want a piece of him to try to get some attention. does anything in recent memory compare to this political caldron? >> no. this is ash ash a unique debate. unique election. one of the things that is starting to settle in is the notion. we talked a lot on the program. why are trump and carson rising? they're not very much alike. but let me tell you why, why they are so similar. both are rebukes to the culture of political correctness. we don't have to explain that with donald trump. with ben carson. look at his breakout moment at national prayer breakfast where he controversially criticized president obama. his breakout loon wasine was i believe in political correctness. what candidates need to take from this, they cannot be afraid to speak boldly and clearly as what they intend to do as president p until they get the

message and push for big positive reforms they're not going to go of the in the polls. >> jeffrey, trump hitting back against ben carson, fallout from comments about carly fiorina all of which we will get to over the next two hours. a lot of new stuff on that tonight. do you see the next debate getting personal in a way that could have real consequences, better or worse, depending on your politics? >> well, i think he will be fine. what i took note of today was governor jindal, and his, you know, he went on this, you know incredible rant. governor jindal, in fact is at 1%. >> that seemed to me a desperate move to get some sort of attention. >> that's exactly where i am going. exactly right. anderson, it was desperation. and i do think that there is beginning to be, the sort of sml of desperation and panic with a number of campaigns they just scant make any progress here. and they're trying to figure out if there is anything they can do in the way of a hail mary pass at this debate. to sort of, you know stop this.

i'm not sure there is. there may be more than a few that will try. >> your candidate rand paul went after trump right out of the gate at the last debate doesn't necessarily seem to have helped him. how do you think candidates can go after donald trump if that's what they choose? is anything effective? >> well i think one of the lessons from the first debate is that donald trump is the jedi master of trolls. and the rule of trolling is you don't feed them. i think if everybody sort of sticks with their, their game plan, particularly rand paul who is a reformer, an authentic anti-establishment disrupter within the republican party, i think he needs to be himself and play his game and try as best you can to ignore the donald. because he will just suck up all of the oxygen. >> matt, i have to ask you. you a former tea party leader. when you see the numbers of tea party, people who say they're,

you know, tea party supporters, supporting trump, what do you make of that. i know you believe if you are a true tea party follower or believer, trump is not the person? >> yeah, i think donald trump is the anti-tea party. he is all about a -- a charismatic person that is going to take charge much look barack obama has. but i think what is going on here. this is a paradigm shift in american politic as way from the closed door sessions where the, the gop poobas would say, "jeb it is your turn." that is not going to happen this time. a lot of this, disruption. and also a repudiation of the gop establishment. they have trashed the republican brand, amongst republicans. and donald trump and ben carson and anybody that doesn't have an r next to their name is sort of exploiting that window of opportunity. >> and amanda, the one reliable ally that donald trump is going to have on the debate stage is your former boss, ted cruz,

everybody is acknowledging hoping to build off trump support. he even said, last debeet wate great. so many eyeballs were watching. if trump is in the debate. do you see senator cruz defending him. any risk in that? >> i think senator cruz will take mat's advice and not feed the troll. there are issues you can work with donald trump on. stopping illegal immigration. stopping this horrible iran deal that gop leadership in washington has surrendered on. if you can find things to work with other people on. that is a plus for everyone. and what i am looking for in this debate as well, is also, listen, there is other candidates who are essentially falling off the map. earlier debate, we might want to call it the 1% debate. these people can't break higher in the polls. where are those voters going to go? what point in time? i think senator krutz ccruz canp voters. scott walker continues to go down in the polls. i can see some of his supporters going to cruz.

i am interested in seeing how the field is going to change. where supporters from lower tier candidates are going to go. because this field has to consolidate at some point in time. if we have so many candidates going so far in this race, donald trump could take it with a quarter of the vote. dangerously close to wing the nomination with the very small percentage of voters. i do not think that is good for the republican party. >> the only group. that nobody wants to be a part of. >> go ahead, jeffrey. >> one of the things, anderson, i think we are beginning to see evolve is the possibility of a trump-cruz ticket. or, you know, if the carson thing settles down and trump-carson ticket. an outsider tech it here. to drive home the message. that would be a complete and total repudiation of the republican establishment, you look at the numbers, internals here, where the candidates are getting. 60% of the vote combined.

in some of the cases. that's pretty emphatic. and i think the message would be, if donald trump emerges as the nominee, is you know, don't pick some establishment, don't sort of do a unification thing, quote, unquote by picking jeb bush. stick with the outsiders. the ones who brought him to the dance thao the point, trump-cru trump-carson. couple weeks ago, a trump-fiorina ticket. that seems hard to imagine now that he has gone after her face. he claims he went after her persona. who noknows where two weeks fro now if the carson thing continues to be a back and forth. over their faith. they're both polling well with vote whurz call thrs who call t evangelicals. >> the game is for authentic outsiders, rand paul, ted cruz

to stay in the game. the assumption has to be that trump and cars s os o s os o se team. that has to be the focus. it's got to be a long term game for candidates like that. new rules of politic as law for candidates to stay in politics longer, raise money independently, and be able to reach their constituents. i don't think we should make any profound pronouncements of who might be the nominee. >> that's for sure. even people make pronouncements like the day before the election usually get it wrong. matt, good to have you. amanda, jeffrey as well. next hour, on for two hours tonight. our first look at new polling on the democratic side. what it says about how big a challenge hillary clinton faces. coming up next we touch on this in the conversation already. what donald trump said about carly fiorina, her face, and

talk to the reporter who broke the story and show you how mr. trump is now explaining today. >> also tonight breaking news on the flooding in japan where riot police are on patrol. new emergency warnings are up at the doorstep of the crippled nuclear power plants. take you there. show you some incredible rescue efforts. as the water just keeps on rising. energy. focus. help turn your potential... into reality. start every day with milk's 8 grams of high-quality protein. how will you milk life?

look at that face would any one vote for that. in a moment the rolling stone reporter who listened to donald trump say that about carly fiorina, the story broke last night. the controversy quickly grew. by this morning, talking to new day's chris cuomo, mr. trump is taking fresh shots at carly fiorina while trying to explain that the word "look at her face" didn't actually have anything to do with her face. >> but carly, talking about her persona. her persona is not -- she know it going to be president. she is terrible, terrible failed time. >> i don't know about that. i hear everything you are saying about the record. all legitimate bases for criticism you can level against your opponents. reading it for what it is. look at that face. why would anyone vote for that. can you imagine that is the face of our next president. she is not a woman. i am not supposed to say bad things. really, folks, are we serious?

>> i'm talking persona. >> where is persona in that? >> i know that is okay. because my hair, you know me well enough, it is my hair. but when somebody -- >> somebody comes on and says that he shouldn't be president because of his hair. i will tell them to shut up. >> you don't have to defend me. i'm not looking for anybody to defend me. >> when someone hits me, nobody comes to my defense. >> you come to your defense. >> terrible time in business. destroyed a company. you have to get the report from jeffrey sonenfield of yale, an expert on carly, and check out lucent beforehand. you have ben saying what he said. you have carly. these are two people that will not be president. >> just is a sample of chris cuomo's conversation. in the next hour we'll bring you the entire interview and get chris' impressions of that interview. it is fascinating.

first the author of the rolling stone cover story taking trump seriously on the trail with the gop's tough guy. he joins us. and thank you for being with us. the most obvious question, donald trump saying he was talking about his persona. is there anything that wasn't in the article that would indicate he was talking about her persona and what he said, her face. >> i don't know. i want to the yale school of drama. i thought i meant what persona meant. perhaps it has a broader application than they taught us in new haven. no, i was there. i was sitting across from, as he was finishing his meal. donald for all of his energy and way ward charm has a 12-14-year-old boy permanently affixed to his inner life. and in moments where he is sort of flush with success, we had come from this enormously

impactful and successful rally, 2,500 people in a tiny little school. he was positively floating. he was feeling loose and playing to the room. the six or seven people. >> for the record, he was not talking about her persona. >> he was not talking about his persona. >> of the six or seven people. they were sort of trump people in the room. how did, was it received? did anybody. sometimes the handler will sort of, give some sort of indication like, ooh, that, my candidate shouldn't have said that. was there any of that? >> you do that with donald trump at your own physical peril. nobody shuts up donald. >> so yes men around him. or yes women or yes people. >> yes. yes. in a word. yes. there's this quality of a kind of mobile echo chamber around

donald. but you know there is a certain kind of brilliance to that. this is a game who has attacked and won, attacked and won, ever since he left military academy at the age of 18. and you know the idea that he suddenly now in his late 60s going to start taking life instruction from, you know, some hack political operative, he hasn't hired that guy. he has hired functionaries, those are people who surround himself with, not strategists. >> that's interesting. one wonders if his campaign is a reflection of huh ow he would govern. if that is the way he would govern, that's something voters may want to think about. >> if voters are dying to have folks like henry kravis and carl icahn run the defense department, the state department, u.s. department of treasury, you know, then by all means, step forward and, you

know put your thumb print on the ballot. but, to, the extent of my experience around donald there isn't a serious wise man in the room with him. >> and his organization is actually pretty small, isn't it? >> it is tiny. one of the questions i asked him, after we had got done gallivanting around. here we are, late august, early cement, and you are way out in the lead. a, did you expect to be here? b, what provisions have you made? what contingencies have you built in to mount a national campaign competitive in 50 snats a states? >> we hired people quickly now. seven people in new hampshire. bunch of people in iowa. but there is 50 states to contend for. and as you know, this is a particularly front loaded cycle. so, you know once -- >> he is sort of rewriting the rules. the rules in the past you have to be on the ground in iowa, new

hampshire all the time. doing a lot of stuff out of new york and seems to be working for him. i have got to ask you about what he said on cnn today to chris. he said that you called him and said that you were upset with the article. they added a lot of garish stuff and the publisher of "rolling stone" screwed it up. did you, did you call him, is that true? >> i speoke to donald the last time, ten days ago. >> before the article. >> way before the article. >> article came out, leaked, or released last night? >> right. the article publishes tomorrow. so a post publication phone call between me and donald would have been impossible according to the laws of science we currently live by. i did call him eight, ten days ago, at jan's insistence to get further lifestyle detail. and ask a couple of questions. >> when donald trump says you called him, said you were upset with the article, there was

garish stuff, that jan winter screwed it up in your word that didn't happen? >> no, what happened was i told donald that jan took him seriously enough to edit the story himself. which he hasn't done in many years. and that he was being very tough diligent editor of this piece. and then i asked him the questions that jan had asked me to ask him. and, you know, some of them involved the layout of the plane, this kind of rich guy stuff. and donald didn't like that. but, you know, that's -- those were my marching orders. the rest is donald being donald. >> you worked for rolling stone for 20 years. broken huge stories. interviewed tonsf people. just as an experience. you spent a lot of time with him on and off for some ten days. what is he, how did you find him? >> so i found donald to be two people. i found him first of all to be an extraordinarily shrewd

predator. someone who as i describe in the piece, is a top of the food chain killer. he is a guy with two extraordinary senses. one is something i call clairvoyance, the ability to read a market way before it is formed and get there first. the second is clairaudience, hear what is in people's hearts and minds. >> clairaudience. >> there is donald on the 26th floor of his massive office in the trump tower, and somehow he read and saw and heard into the hearts of disaffected underemployed white people in coatsville, pennsylvania, in, west virginia, in ohio, and not only was he able to hear that seething rage, he was able to read it back to them word for word in ways that no republican has ever done before. >> that came from him. that wasn't some clever adviser.

>> absolutely not. >> these polls show this. which is what happens with a lot of politicians. >> but he doesn't have those people. so trump does not the formal apparatus around him. nor would he trust it for a second. what he has always relied on, and has always been borne out by are this sense of smell and his taste for the kill. and he is unfailingly shrewd about being on the attack at all times. i have never seen a candidate on his toes rather than on his heels. every second of the day. the second guy in the room with us, was this guys w whose emotil development stopped at 13 or 14. the kid that made the crack about carly. the guy who made the crack about his daughter. the guy who tossed out of the posh prep schools in queens and sent to a military academy upstate where no son of a rich man ever wind up unless he

really deserves to be there. >> fascinating piece. it publishes tomorrow. thank you so much. >> my great pleasure. >> more perspective. three prominent women, hillary clinton's former adviser, and leading republican strategist on what donald trump said, what he is saying about what he said, and what it could mean if he wins the gop nomination?

at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda.

the drought is affecting at pg&e we've definitely put a focus on helping our agricultural customers through the drought. when they do an energy efficiency project and save that money they feel it right in their pocket book. it's exciting to help a customer with an energy efficiency project because not only are they saving energy but they are saving water. we have a lot of projects at pg&e that can help them with that and that's extremely important while we're in a drought. it's a win for the customer and it's a win for california. together, we're building a better california. woman: when a student understands a concept for the first time. man: when the students get it. man: their eyes get big, the lightbulb pops on. woman: "i got it, i think i got it!" they light up. it's like magic. woman: this is not just a job. woman: the rewards i get are... priceless. man: we help kids grow, and that's part of the rush of teaching. narrator: the california teachers association.

educators who know quality public schools make a better california for all of us. talking about something donald trump said not surprising. what is surprising in the context of every modern presidential campaign up until now is how nothing he said so far has put a dent in his support of republicans. on the can traer ontrary it has stronger. this time, carly fiorina's face, or as he tried to explain on "new day" this morning her persona. he had another chance to explain tonight on fox news. >> i am talking persona. we were watching television. her persona is all tied up when you think about it. she had a tremendous failed business. look at hewlett-packard, lucent before hewlett-packard.

she hasn't done well. the reason i bring it up, frankly she picked me, attacked me. i therefore have to respond. and i have responded. and we're really talking about not a physical thing. we are talking about the persona. this is a woman that gets tremendous publicity mostly on fox to be honest with you, i don't know why. because i guess in the poll that you quoted she is at a very low number. she gets tremendous amounts of publicity. her past doesn't go along with the publicity she is getting. so she mentions something about me. she knocks me. and, when somebody knocks me look jeb bush or anybody else, i at laeast decide it is appropriate to fight back. talking only about her persona. >> i don't want to beat a dead horse. i'm on the record. i don't think you are a first time offender making a personal crack at a woman. the first thing. the second thing is, the remark was about her face and not about her persona. it all goes hand in hand. and much, many of the

statements. you notice i am leading with women. >> greata pushing back. >> and donald trump a short time ago. tonight, gloria borger, patty soleis doyle, and margaret ho hoover. margaret, donald trump who calls, sees himself as the tell it like it is guy not politically correct guy, says what is on his mind. for a guy who is portraying himself as that, when he, when he he says something like this, he sure does seem to try to make everybody else sound stupid by thinking he actually said what he said. what he said was, about her face, the idea that he was talking about her persona is frankly, it's a lie. it's just not true. he can try to, shine bright objects and make people distracted and stuff t if he was really a stand up guy he would say that's what i said that's what i think. that's what i said.

i went too far. instead, he tries to act as if, we're all stupid. >> and continues to repeat what he wants-up to believe that he actually intended which then becomes the story. now it is clearly all about her persona, right, not her face. he is the only person in american politics who can spin his way out of controversy without having to say he is sorry. hillary rodham clinton, just has to say she is sorry. jeb bush has to say he is scary for whatever he said about -- everything. everything. everybody has to say that they're sorry. except donald trump. and it's, what's remarkable is that he is actually crafted this image of himself more than being a businessman. a marketer. right? he crafted this image of himself he is this straight talker who is going to be the honest guy. the honest broker. he doesn't speak in a polished way. like ordinary folks. he went on the view today and said he would defund planned

parenthood and have joy behar invite him back to talk in person. >> if you are going to be the straight talk guy. be the straight talk guy. don't pretend as if everybody is stupid for understanding what you actually say. if you say, you're saying to your cronies and according to the reporter, yes men, talking about her face. just own up to it. >> yeah, but he know the consequences of owning of to it, perhaps, right? look, he can say he is doing really well with republican women. which he is. but if you look at the poll numbers of women overall, favorable, unfavorable, he has got a 58% unfavorable. he is underwater by 27 points with women overall including democrats. but also, independent women. so he is smart. he knows the consequences of what he says. so he has to try and spin his way out of it. i don't think he expects any one to believe it.

it's clear you don't believe it. i dent belieon't believe it. greta didn't believe it. chris cuomo of course this morning, didn't believe it. but he still insists on doing it. because, he feels he has to. >> patty, in the new cnn poll. glor y he wins big among republican voters, up 13%. not only does he have a lot of support from republican women that support is growing. >> right. i have to till you, anderson in all honesty. i just don't get it. this is a guy who refers to women as dogs and pigs. this is a guy who because megyn kelly asked some pointed tough question in a debate which is her job to do by the way, he assumed, it was because he was menstruating. this is a guy who in a legal deposition, you know, told the opposing female attorney, that sunny was disgusting because she needed to take a break in order to pump her breast milk. i mean, i just don't understand

who these 33% of republican women are who are supporting a man who is clearly sexist and not only sexist but misogynistic. >> is it possible the women who are supporting him just feel, well he is that way with everybody. this is just part of his persona. it's not, he is not politically correct. and they sort of spin tat hat t something they like and they like his other policies. >> look, 33% isn't a majority. keep in mind this is look that mean that 67% don't like him. also be clear. he has the highest negative and, the highest, people say they will never vote for donald trump. is higher than anybody else in the republican feed. so he has polarized the debate though he continues to lead. there are 16 other people on the stage. and heap is the celebrity. the one that everybody knows. not just republican voter. nationally. people know him. they know the apprentice. they know trump buildings. trump golf courses. this branding, marketing empire

he created. he is at this point, with 17 people on the stage. still an id name game. >> you don't really buy the polls in a way. you are saying a lot of it, you believe sort of celebrity driven when push comes to shove, and people actually are in the voting booth. >> you are right. here is what i buy. i buy what i know about iowa and new hampshire voters. which is you have to go and visit with them and talk to them over and over again. you can't phone in. you can't parachute into the iowa state fair. you have to get to know the folks. >> that's what people have always said. yet, gloria, leading in the polls, a lot from new york. >> he is. interesting numbers in our recent polls. recent poll in iowa, was there are 66% undecided voters. okay. so people are window shopping right now. they're looking around. donald trump voices their anger. which is really widespread. people, men, women believe he speaks truth. and they kind of look thike tha. an outsider.

hasn't been involved in leelecte office. a celebrity right. you put that all together. he has high name recognition. are these commitments? i am not so sure at this point. they just have off to see who else is on the stage with him. you know. they want some one who will win. >> and my point is i just don't understand if you are selling yourself as the the straight talking guy, why, why you don't just say, you know what, yeah, i said it. you know what, some times i talk off the, off the top of my head. and i say things i don't really mean. but you know what i am telling it like it is and owning up to it. a big difference between that and saying, no i was talking about her persona, or, i don't know, or -- >> have you heard him apologize during this campaign psychle? never, not once. >> no, i don't think it is a question. there is apologies. there is also just saying, just admitting what you said as opposed to pretend like we are all idiots. people actually do understand what you said. it's not that we misunderstood it. we actually understood it.

gloria, good to have you on. patty, margaret, thank you. just ahead. breaking news in the investigation of the killing of an illinois police officer, new details about the shots fired at him. breaking news in arizona, police are scrambling to figure out who is shooting vehicles in phoenix. two more incidents reported to day. when i started at the shelter,
