i said it. i was wrong. and i apologize. >> a bombshell of a race for the white house. this is a political earthquake. >> it's inexcusable. >> i'm out. i can no longer, in good conscience endorse this person for president. >> any republican who has said they are for donald trump, do you still think he's qualified to be president of the united states? >> see you at the debate on sunday. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. well, you have made it to saturday. early, it's 6:00 a.m. for you. but we are always happy to see you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor black well. we are are tracking matthew. reporters on the southeastern coast. and first, we have to get to the bombshell in the trump campaign. the republican nominee making an unprecedented apology after that video from 2005 reveals him

using stunningly vulgar language that some say amounts to sexual assault. we're going to play the comments now. but we have to tell you they're graphic. >> i moved on her actually. she was down on palm beach. i'll admit it. i did try [ bleep ] she was married. oh, no. i moved on her very heavily. in fact, i took her out furniture shopping. she wanted to get furniture. i said i'll show you where they have nice furniture. i took her out. i moved on like [ bleep ] i couldn't get there and she was -- and now the big phone [ bleep ] and -- she's the girl, whoa, whoa, yes, the donald has scored. whoa, my man. [ bleep ] maybe it's a different one.

>> maybe it's a different one. it's better. i better use tic tacs in case i start kissing her. i'm automatically attracted. you can do anything. grab them by the [ bleep ] do anything. >> well, the woman trump is talking about, that nancy that he referenced at the top of that recording is nancy o'dell, the former co-host of "access hollywood." billy bush's former co-host. she's now a host of "entertainment tonight." cnn has reached out to her and they have not gotten back. the candidate issued this online 90-second apology. >> i've never said i'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone i'm not. i've said and done things i

regret. and the words released on this more than decade long 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 traveled the country talking about change for america but my travels have also changed me. i've spent time with grieving mothers who have lost their children. laid off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries. and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. i have gotten to know the great people of our country and i've been humbled by the faith they place in me. i pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down. let's be honest. we're living in the real world. this is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we're facing today. we are losing our jobs. we're less safe than we were eight years ago. and washington is totally broken. hillary clinton and her kind have run our country into the

ground. i've said some foolish things, put 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. we will discuss this more, the coming days. see you at the debate on sunday. >> so, that's the 90-second apology. you heard the hit there in the end for many in his party, this is enough. for paul ryan, disinviting the nominee from a campaign event today. and here was trump's own running mate. dodging reporters. we have the video here. yeah, dodging reporters at a photo op in ohio. they tried to shout out some questions there. he ignored them. this comes as insiders tell cnn this could be the death knell

for the trump campaign. you have heard that claim before. we'll see if it is. the clinton campaign took to twitter. tweeting, here's a quote, this is horrific. we cannot allow this man to become president. mrs. clinton's running mate, tim kaine sounding off, calling on republicans to rethink their donald trump endorsement. >> there's a couple things i think this suggests, and it's just so clear. first, any republican who has said they are for donald trump, they need to be asked, why the press and others and by const st constituents right now do you still think he's qualified to be president of the united states? >> overnight, mike lee one of few senate republicans who we should point out never endorsed trump is now calling on mr. trump to pull out. >> you, sir, is the distraction.

your conduct is the distraction, the distraction from the very principles that will help us win in november. >> manu raju is following the debate. people will be able to account questions of these two nominees. is there any indication how much this apology is going to be part of that conversation? >> well, you have to assume it's got to come up. the way this format, is exactly how you said. is that these voters who are at this town hall will actually be asking questions to the candidates, and the moderators, including our own anderson cooper. we'll have the opportunity to follow up and ask questions in regards to whatever topic comes up under the sun. so it remains to be seen what will be on voters minds, will they bring this up? will they not bring this up?

and that's really, unfortunately as i said, we don't know the impact that this video and donald trump's apology is going to have on the election. we don't know how it's going to affect voters. there's been a lot of controversies over the years. this one feels a lot different because donald trump was forced to apologize, something he's not done in past controversies. republican after republican really going after donald trump in a way we have not seen before. christi, i want to read to you a couple of things that leaders of congress have said about donald trump's statements. including reince priebus, the republican national committee chairman. said no woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner ever. and paul ryan, the house speaker who you mentioned, victor mentioned, actually disinvited donald trump from this event in

wisconsin today said he is sickened by what i heard today. women are to be championed and revered, not objectified. i hope mr. trump treatments this situation with the seriousness it deserves and looks to demonstrate to the country that he has greater respect for women. than this clip suggests. and jason chaffetz of utah going further, rescinding his endorsement. >> i'm out. i can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. it's some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments as i can imagine. my wife and i, we have a 15-year-old daughter, if i can look her in the eye and tell her these things, i can't endorse this person. i'm out of the endorsement here. i don't know who i'm going to vote for. i'm not going to vote for hillary clinton. there's no way under no

scenario, but i cannot offer an endorsement for whatever that means, about donald trump. >> so, christi, the question is how many more republicans will join jason chaffetz. particularly in very difficult senate races. they do need "triumph" supporters to help keep the congressional majority for the republicans. at the same time, they don't want him anywhere near this reddic that could put off women voters. >> manu raju, appreciate it so much, sir. thank you. to add to that now with mitt romney piling on twitter. quote, hitting on married women? condoning assault? such vile degradations demean our wives and daughters and corrupt america's face to the world. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so what we're seeing is not

just from the never-trumpers here, when you have jason chaffetz. an david fahrenthold who was going to. >> i think this period of time was absolutely crucial for the trump campaign. there's no question in my mind that more and more republicans are seriously evaluating whether they want to stick with donald trump it's not just about the vile comments. it's just about pure politics at this point. people have to make a decision about whether politically it makes sense to align with this guy, given what we've seen that more might be on the way. include the political calculus comes forward as well. >> let's talk about the people that manu just talked about paul ryan and reince priebus. he said what he was saying was the definition of racism, but

still, he endorsed drmonald tru now, he's talking about being sick about the comments, disinviting him, still endorsing donald trump. how long can paul ryan still hold on to that large majority in the house and continue to endorse donald trump? >> paul ryan's in a very difficult position. on the one hand, he clearly has to lead his conference in the house. he has to think of the electoral ramifications potentially stepping away from trump. personally, it's got to be difficult to hear these remarks given the person that donald trump it has to sicken him. as he said yesterday. he will probably have to make a firm decision at some point whether he continues to stick with trump. obviously, this kind of stuff, i don't believe, is going away. >> as we're going into the debate. it seems as if, as we talked with eugene scott, that donald

trump was telegraphing punches ahead of this town hall debate as he claimed he would go after the clinton's marriage. is that an effective strategy considering what the country is learning about this recording from 11 years ago? >> i don't think so. i really have questions about that kind of strategy. now, it's consistent with how donald trump has conducted his campaign to date. he's most comfortable in attack mode. so it doesn't surprise me at all that's where his apology/nonapology went last night. and that's where he wants to go for the debate. the best debate was, quite frankly, when he stuck to the issues. that's really what he needs to do. the more he attacks personally, i think the harder it's going to be for him to move on. >> no question, this is going to come up in the town debate either by one of the moderators or one of the voters in the hall. the question will be, what will be his dournts punch?

his surrogates said he's a strong counterpuncher. what will that be. thank you for helping us. >> thank you. >> debate begins 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. big question this morning, could the fallout be fatal, though, for the trump campaign? that discussion is straight ahead. a view from south carolina, as we track the latest on hurricane matthew moving up the coast. lashing right now georgia and south carolina after it drenched and flooded florida. four people have died already. we're going to bring you more of this -- straight ahead. stay close. ♪

all right. the fallout has been fast and furious. and it's still happening. republicans and democrats condemning donald trump's vulgar and sexually aggressive remarks from 2005. trump was compelled to apologize, for the first time, for really anything since he entered this presidential race. to say friday was a bad day for his campaign, that was a gross understatement. let's talk now with the executive editor of cnn politics, mark preston, he's in st. louis ahead of tomorrow night's debate which suddenly has a whole new direction. also joining us cnn political analyst ron brownstein. good to have both of you with us. i want to start with the apology. not the is statement that came out earlier in the day. but the 90-second apology.

mark, i want to start with you. the decision to include the clintons again after the backlash from that three-sentence apology that came out later in the day. whoever wrote this, decided to stick with that. is that a strategy that we heard throughout the day? >> a couple things, one is, once the story broke, it took them several hours, the trump campaign, to try to get their arms around it. now, that statement. that video statement that was put out wasn't put null until a little after midnight eastern time. so they were clearly trying to figure out how they were going to deal with it. a lot of people were saying leading up to that is that the only way donald trump is going to survive this is if he shows real remorse. we didn't see that. he upped the antsty. he pointed to bill clinton at the end. he had this are ominous tone and

said i'll see you sunday night at the debate which led us to believe that donald trump is going to head into the hall and go directly at hillary clinton. a debate that you specifically think we would be talking about policy issues and now potentially could be talking about personalities and private lives of both candidates. >> raurngs there doesn't seem to be a precedent for sincere remorse. at least in this campaign for donald trump. i'm wondering why we got a recorded statement, instead of a news conference. possibly because of the uncontrollable nature of a news controllable. even more uncontrollable tomorrow night. >> even megyn kelly knows it's been a long time that's been less search gettic to him than sean hannity. this wouldn't be the hour to call it. the principal obstacle that donald trump faces. yes, there are controversies about many of his policies but the principal obstacles are the

assessments of his personal qualities. head into the debate you had roughly 60% of americans saying they do not believe he's qualified to be president. they do not believe he has the temperament to be president and he was biased against women in those debates. nothing that's happened since then have gotten better. they're likely to have gotten worse. donald trump's popularity has stuck in the low 40s. all of these stories that pile one on another from the taxes to cuba embargo to this really just add more barriers to him growing, and what he has is not enough to win at this point. >> and those are all topics, mark, that his running mate, mike pence has either defended him against those attacks. or deflected as we saw tuesday night during the debate. the associated press reporting that mike pence was beside

himself. his wife karen pence furious after hearing this. any indication of what we'll see moving forward from his running mate? >> i'm not sure what we'll see from mike pence. let me tell you it's unprecedented that we have jason chaffetz, a republican leader who has spent the last years going directly after hillary clinton, investigating hillary clinton coming on cnn last night, withdrawing his endorsement of donald trump saying he can no longer look at his 15-year-old daughter in the eye and explain to her donald trump. this comes as we've seen other republicans last night come out, not only condemn him, but several of them also withdraw their endorsement. the next 24 hoyer, specifically, the next five or six hours, victor, we'll see how many republicans are going to come out and try to distance themselves from donald trump. at this point, it's survival for them. every member of the house of representatives is running for re-election. those republicans concerned

about being re-elected and tied to donald trump have got to distance themselves from donald trump. and you have many senators in precarious positions. right now you have the republican party in disarray. you have donald trump's campaign in crisis. literally, victor, they need to survive themselves. >> every ballot has to speak about this. it's the question that ever republican in "the spin room" tomorrow night has got to respond to. mark, paul, thank you very much. we have to get back to this story. they're starting to feel the wrath of matthew in charleston. nick valencia is live there right now. good morning, nick. >> reporter: hey, good morning, christi. this is it. we just got off the phone with the cnn weather department. they tell us we are currently getting battered with what is left of the eye of hurricane matthew. we could really tell. over the last hour, these conditions have deteriorated.

i don't know how much it translates over the camera. the rain is coming down and wind starting to blow. and the cameraman, if he wants to pan over to this banner. people page attention to evacuations, mandatory, that's get thing. the concern, though, going forward agency the storm continues to hammer us here is flooding. this area is a bad place for a normal storm. hurricane matthew is delivering what we expected it to. christi. >> nick, thank you so much.

well, a deadly hurricane has been sweeping the southeast coast for several days now. >> yeah, unleashing 100-plus-mile-per-hour winds. you just saw it there with our own nick valencia in charleston who is in the eye of this thing right now. look at the waves coming up to the road there. battering charleston harbor is where that is. the storm left four people dead, though, in florida. >> look at these people on their porch just watching the waves and water go by. power is knocked out to more than 1 million people in florida. you see what it's done to the streets there. the damage from the water, the high winds. that won't be fully known yet until the sun rises today. these some are of the pictures of what it's done thus far. we want to get more information for what's coming from the storm. let's go to chad myers in the

severe weather center. we heard nick talking about he's in the eye of this thing now. once that eye hits what does that mean for charleston and the trajectory after that? >> well, that means we're going to set a significant surge in charlton after the high tide. a few hours away. the high tide surge in st. augustine created deadly flooding. same tour tybee, and now it's moved away from savannah. into hilton head. into ed distoe island. into folly beach. charleston, we're expecting a big surge from you, especially at that high tide. over six feet. we had almost seven feet in savannah and tybee. we know there's damage there, we don't know how much just yet. we also know there's going to be fresh water. rain falling, 10 inches of water

falling ever where you see purple. here goes the storm over charleston, myrtle and into wilmington before it pulls out of the ocean. a big storm. this is the radar animation in the future. this is what we expect it to look like as we move into charleston, wilmington, even heavy rain fall into raleigh, north carolina. here are some pictures here. we're just seeing the live shots. you can see the palm trees bending in the wind. this is wsoc from myrtle beach. with wind gusts now, in the eye wall, you're in the eye wall, south carolina. those winds will gust 100 plus miles per hour. this is what we expected in florida. it's happened 200 miles to the north. a dangerous storm for the carolinas. there still could be more

fatalities, you need to be out of the way or at least hunkered down, guys. >> quickly, chad do you still anticipate it could loop back around and hit southern florida again? >> that still is the forecast for many of these computer models. at that point in time there's so much shear i don't think it's a cat 2 or 3. we'll have to see. it's warm water. we're still in the peak of hurricane season. >> chad myers, thank you. the same storm spanning the southeast really took a destructive path over haiti. we that number is expected to rise even more once crews are able to get access to some of those remote areas that are so isolated by washed out bridges. the hurricane hit as haiti was starting to recover from that devastating earthquake still six years ago which killed about 200,000 people. plus donald trump apologizes for the new scandal rocking his

latest lewd comments and the latest threat to his campaign. >> he forced -- to issue an apology, some say it was forced. did so this morning. the defiant tone, though, seems to add to this morning's squeamishness among republicans. all before this town hall debate which happens with hillary clinton tomorrow night. which will be different because you, voters, who will be in the audience will be able to ask-those questions. >> indeed. manu raju is in st. louis, the site of tomorrow night's showdown. manu, undoubtedly, this will come out whether anderson or martha there asks the questions. or voters there ask the question. if not, it may be the only question people ask in the spin room after the debate? >> yeah, that's absolutely right. donald trump has not answered questions about this, about why he made these comments about whether he still believes some of those things and what he meant by a lot of those things.

so we'll have to hear what he says in the coming days. we've seen him rebound controversy after controversy throughout the campaign. this one seemed different. one reason why, he was actually forced to apologize. >> donald trump apologizing overnight. hoping to tamp down the controversy that's threatening to derail his campaign. >> i've said and done things i regret. and the words released today in this morning 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. >> but also taking a swipe at bill clinton. >> bill clinton has actually abused women. and hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated those women. >> reporter: the republican nominee making lewd comments on tape. >> i did [ bleep ].

>> reporter: trump bragging about trying to grope, kiss and trying to have sex with woman in a 2005 woman. >> and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them by the [ bleep ] -- do anything. >> reporter: trump caught in an off-camera conversation during a taping of "access hollywood" heard talking about the pursuit of a married woman. it was obtained by "the washington post." >> and i moved on her heavily. i took her out furniture shopping. she wanted to get furniture. i said i'll show you where they have nice furniture. i moved on like [ bleep ] and she's married. all of a sudden, she's got big pho phony [ bleep ]. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan revoking an invitation for trump to appear with him later in wisconsin saying i am sickened by what i heard today.

"and this from priebus. >> no woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner, ever. >> i'm out, i can't endorse donald trump for president. there's no possible way i'd vote for hillary clinton. >> reporter: hillary clinton hitting trump on her twitter account saying this is horrific. we cannot allow this man to become president. and sparking a quick rebuke from democratic vice presidential nominee tim kaine. >> it's just -- i mean, it makes me sick to my stomach. i don't like to even say the words that he's used in the past

when he calls women pigs, dogs and slobs. i didn't mind saying it on stage with my mom and wife sitting in the front row. this is outrageous. >> reporter: even close adviser, admitting that this is devastating. one calling his remarks flat out pawling. and telling cnn that they don't know that trump is recover. the tape made while billy bush and trump visited the set of a soap opera where they were greeted with access aryan zucker. >> i'm going to use tic tacs in case i start kissing her. i'm automatically attracted to beautiful women. it's like a magnet. >> a republican not endorsing donald trump actually calling on donald trump to step down as the nominee. we'll see if more republicans start to do that today.

>> manu, errol louis, political anchor. i want to play one other excerpt from this apology overnight and talk to you. >> anyone who knows me, knows these words don't reflect who i am. i said, i was wrong and i apologize. i travel the country talking about change for america. but my travels have also changed me. >> all right. errol, he said the right things there, did he not? that he was wrong, that he apologizes. do people believe, however, that he has changed? >> no. i got to disagree with you. i don't know that he said the right things. the way an apology works, the way i was taught and the way i try to teach my son is that you have to be specific. you acknowledge that you hurt somebody. you say exactly what you did.

you offer a true apology, saying that you're not going to do it again. but also ask for forgiveness. it's very specific. and who was he apologizing to? was it to aryan zucker. she certainly deserves an apology. it's not just the words, it's the actual conduct that she has done. all of this raises more questions, who else was on that bus? is this the way he normally talks to people? is there another tape that's going to come out? there are a lot of questions that are still out there, as well as sort of a nonapology that's hanging out there. so, i don't think he's done himself very much good. it took him ten hours to come up with this strategy. they probably should have spent at least 11 hours to try to think it through more thoroughly. >> that brings me to the next question, nancy o'dell, it's been revealed that's the woman

he was referring to i would think deserves an apology as well. manu, who has his ear behind the scenes here? do we have any indication of who slipped this and how willing donald trump was to shoot this apology? >> we know that the trump team and trump himself really huddled behind closed doors for several hours. they were in crisis mode. having a number of conversations with republican party officials. with reince priebus. the republican party chairman. also, i'm told one person he did not speak with was house speaker paul ryan. paul ryan did not have a conversation with donald trump yesterday. all of the discussions happened, among -- on the staff level, when paul ryan actually disinviting donald trump from coming to an event today where they were supposed to appear together. this is -- by the trump campaign, how to figure out what

tone to set. at the beginning of that tape you just clipped showing some contrition. but at the end, some defiance by attacking bill clinton. he's saying we're going to talk more about that in the coming days. it sounds as if donald trump may be doubling down even though he's apologizing. a bit of a mixed message from him, something that republicans don't want to hear right now. >> errol, i wanted to talk about that and just to reiterate. he said i said foolish things. there's a big difference between the wording and actions of other people. goes on to say bill clinton actually abused women. and hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed his women. when we look at this in the coming days and voters will be able to ask their own questions, how do you think we can explain, that voters should dismiss what

he said 11 years ago, but not dismiss the past-bill clint jn. >> well, this is the problem. he's going to try to equate two very different situations. he's going to try to take people back 20 years to the clinton scandals. he's also going to try to drag into the mainstream debate. something that is largely only in right wing circle which is is an assumption that there have been multiple instances of criminal sexual assault by bill clinton. now, this has never been proved in a court of law. these are facts sort of in evidence as the lawyers would put it. he's going to put it out there and make the additional leap to say that hillary clinton was a part of it at the same time. it is a tremendous burden to try and drag all of these cases into a public debate. and try and use that as an excuse for his own conduct that we just saw on videotape for the first time. >> right. >> it's a very, very hazardous

strategy. >> we don't have time to talk about it at the moment, we will talk about it later this morning. but we would be remiss in not putting out there are these hacks of clinton e-mails that have come out as well. just last night. that surely will be part of the conversation as well at tomorrow's debate. and we'll talk more about that later. errol louis, manu raju, thiank you both. a lot of people wonder where did the bombshell come from? why did it drop now? we'll have more on that -- ahead.

well, a tape that had been
