welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. thanks for sharing your time today. already an interesting day. america votes four weeks from today and donald trump, maybe you haven't been following his twitter feed. tweeting up a storm feeling unshackled and guess what? the campaign could get even more nasty. >> if they want to release more tapes, saying inappropriate things, we'll continue to talk about bill and hillary clinton, doing inappropriate things.

there's so many of them, folks. >> for her part, clinton seize a big surge in polls taking aim now at trump's outsider pitch. >> so when donald trump talks about what i've been doing for the last 30 years, i welcome that. i welcome it, because in the 1970s, i was working to end discrimination, and he was being sued by the justice department for racial discrimination. >> and the trump effect, well, tearing the republican party apart. the house speaker saying he can no longer defend the embattled nominee and many kancandidates key races say trump is a stain on the gop. >> when mr. trump attacks women and demeans the women in our nation and in our society, that is a point where i just have to part company. >> i worry about the future of the republican party. we're going to have a lot of work to do after this election is over.

>> boy, is that an understatement. with us to share their reporting and insights, abby phillips, "washington post," matt and politicos glenn rush, and unfair to hold him accountable, says donald trump, for the things he says and taking names. we'll get to his promise or threat against the clintons in a moment, but the most remarkable thing about this campaign at the moment, implosion in the republican party. trump is tanking in polls. tape about him groping women is the biggest, not the only reason why. top republicans fear getting flushed down the drain with their nominee. top of that long list, house speaker paul ryan and trump isn't happy about that. >> isn't it too bad that we don't have stronger leadership on both sides? on both sides? i mean, you know, you have people that can't fix a budget, but then they start talking about their nominee, but they can't fix the budget. isn't it really sad that we don't have stronger leadership, on both sides? but that will change if we win

on november 8th. >> so we're four weeks from today, people will be voting. some people are early voting, but counting votes, sdooidi inde election and all of you follow donald trump on twitter, i assume. weak paul ryan had a bad conference call. members wend wild. favorite, so nice the shackles are taken off me and i can now fight for america the way i want to, because he's been very revained up to this point. with the exception of cheating bernie out of the nomination, democrats proven more loyal than republicans. keep reading. remarkable. an implosion of the republican party four weeks before an election, actually a more dramatic story than trump versus clinton. >> look what you donald trump is trying to do. tap into the angst that propelled him to the republican nomination. virtually all the early states said that a lot of republican voters, a vast majority of

voters, felt betrayed by the republican party of leadership in washington. the challenge now is that he's not oning in a primary. he's running in a general election and needs the support of people who will help him win the election. that includes mainstream republican, moderates, independents and the like, develop a coalition. having, getting into a war with your party leadership and making that the dominant narrative this time out is just not, obviously, just not helpful. >> look, it beats telling miss universe she's fat. i mean, maybe -- >> glass half full guy. need one of those at the table. >> it is good. it is, maybe, perhaps a baby step. moving on from criticizing, you know, women's body image to going after somebody that can defend themselves in paul ryan. nothing convention's about this. you can conclude this is not politically strategic or tactical. the guy doesn't like to be criticized. say something nasty about donald trump, he's going scorched earth all the way. >> trailing in polls, a huge

margin, political poll has a smaller margin still a significant margin for hillary clinton nationally. see he's losing in the polls what? >> lash out. i should not still be struck by this, but that he still has his password to his twitter account. i talked to a republican consultant who had a similarly challenging candidate they were representing. went in and changed the password so that candidate couldn't get on. nobody has done that with donald trump donald trump and it's striking. >> kellyanne, are you listening? >> mitt romney22 people to proofread a tweet before it went out. remarkable he's still on twitter and lashing out on paul ryan. >> you can see why republicans are so freaked out, because he's right now encouraging a divorce between his supporters and the republican party. which means those down-ballot candidates, even if they thought they could get by, by disowning trump, the bottom is falling out of their support. all of these, this trump base, trump is telling them from the

podium, let these guys go. all you need is me. that's exactly a recipe for catastrophe. >> exactly why the republican senate candidates struggled with donald trump this entire cycle, because they realized they need those trump supporters and have done this delicate dance when they says controversial things. look what just happened in nevada, joe hack running for harry reid's seat will not support donald trump over the weekend. booed at the rally, attacked relentlessly by republicans that support donald trump. could have an impact in a close race. if a lot of republicans choose not to support him. >> having that problem in new hampshire, pick your state. rob portman in ohio, so on, so forth. the nbc "washington journal" poll, gop candidates should do what? 67% republicans, keep supporting trump.

9% say they should -- say they can't. 14% call on trump to drop out. donald trump say nearly 7 in 10 support me. flip side. 30% of republicans are confused here, backing away from trump here. that's a problem. a giant problem. >> and he has nobody else to go. again, we're talking about a guy who existed in this narrow band. by the way, that band is dropping. he had been a 38% to 43% candidate. we have seen numbers in the nbc "washington journal" poll he's, what? 35% nationally? this is a national major party candidate. we have not seen numbers like that in a generation. >> so the big conversation, you heard john mccain, how speaker, won't defend him, although hasn't dropped his endorsement. chris christie still supports donald trump lectured him about what he said on the tape, about forcing himself on women and groping women. listen to chris christie, while still supporting mr. trump. >> i'm still supporting donald. you know, obviously, i was

disappointed by what happened, and you know, disappointed in some respects by the response initially, but i'm still supporting him. >> has it wavered at all? >> you certainly have to think about it. now, you know, i've known him a long time and i'm -- i'm really upset by what i heard, but in the end, this election is about bigger issues than just that. >> about bigger issues than just that. cnn's dana bash reporting that christie, part of the disappointment, wanted trump to just say i'm sorry and leave it there. no pivot into an attack on bill clinton. >> the centerkeys since then in the debate. having the women beforehand with trump, and i think that's concerned a lot of republicans too. that he's going down sort of a different path that they want. full contriteness and did not express that in this statement, in his videotape or at the debate. >> and, john, we're seeing the beginning of this blame game that's about to happen, or even if you call it

self-preservation. people, republican leaders and different people are trying to come out of this election unscathed. already starting to see the finger-pointing happening's if they lose, even more intense as they have to pick up the pieces. >> trump at rallies trashing the republican establishment he says is tim it and coward. trump supporters should funnish those republicans on the ballot in your state, vote for trump, not portman, and trump's support network, including sean hannity of fox news look at this election and say this -- >> finally we have a republican -- by the way, this better be the new republican party. these other guys like ryan, they're done. they don't flow it yet, but their days are over. these guys are just so bad. >> so sean hannity's preference is that republicans choose a guy who in the past 15 years has been pro-clinton, pro-choice and pro-groping, over paul ryan, over paul ryan, who maybe he

cuts deals, but he's been consistently pro-life and consistently saying we should balance the budget and consistently saying go into the african-american and inner city and find a conservative way to deal with poverty. that's the choice. really? >> the only way that argument can work is if donald trump wins in november. the point is, what he's doing is not a strategy for winning a national election. so if he's going to lose by doing it his way, then the only people left standing will be the paul ryans of the world, and that's why they're trying to get ahead of this. basically getting a head start on this process of backing away, and then rebuilding. >> getting had head start four weeks before an election. how do you tell people to knock on doors, turn out votes, to send in last-minute fund-raising. this is what year supposed to settle in the primary. don't get your way, hold your nose, get through november. >> so much of the ground game given to the rnc. people knocking on doors in nevada saying, trying to get out the vote for joe heck and donald

trump and joe heck is backing away from donald trump, creating awkward snare -- scenarios at the doorstep trying to get people to the polls. >> you're seeing very little loyalty to him within the party. i remember this. to me the most stunning interview he gave in this whole campaign was to the a.p. in may where he just basically processed a basic ig innerens about the tools of modern campaigning. didn't understand metrics or polling. one thing to be a beginner and to not want to know how it works. >> putting out press releases proving he had giant crowds. proving he will win the election. joint crowds are great but don't say who will win on election day. up next, look how hillary clinton is trying to take advantage.

what are you doing? getting your quarter back. fountains don't earn interest, david. you know i work at ally. i was being romantic. you know what i find romantic? a robust annual percentage yield that's what i find romantic. this is literally throwing your money away. i think it's over there. that way? yeah, a little further up. what year was that quarter? what year is that one? '98 that's the one. you got it! nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. ally. do it right. let's get out of that water. w...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered.

then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

four weeks from today -- four weeks from today -- this starts to fill in. red states, blue states. we count votes. election day, four weeks from today. one of the reasons republicans are so nervous because's this. an nbc news "washington journal" poll released yesterday. hillary clinton with a lead. donald trump at 35%. a major party candidate getting just over one-third of the vote. not the only reason republicans are nervous. look at state polls. recent day, clinton leading in florida, clinton leading in ohio, clinton leading in nevada, i could go on and on and on, clinton leading in battleground states. why does this matter? this is the math that matters election day. we all believe secretary clinton would win and cross that threshold today. at the moment, the most in the

toss-up states, the goal, clinton's leading, clinton's leading, clinton's leading, clinton's leading. republicans think she could be on a path to electoral college blowout, bigger than barack obama in 2012. donald trump gets it. i get it uphill. i'm going to work until the very end. >> were she 28 days. november 8th is the big day. we're going to get out, we're going to win. i'm going to make three, four, five stops a day. i may be limping across that finish line, but we're going to get across that finish line. >> three, four, five stops a day. at some point, talking about the metrics of the campaign. it gets hard. you can focus on one state and turn a state. if you have to turn florida, very different from nevada, very different from pennsylvania, which is very different from pick another one, if you've got to cha g to change different states, gets really hard, because each has its own economy, own demographic, own political structure.

>> and if your ground game is not nearly at superior as your opponent's, a big problem, too. in the national party decides it's time to go a different way and help your down-ticket candidates instead, save congress, that is a big problem, too. of course, as we know, the races are about momentum. there have been momentum shifts through the course of this campaign. that poll, nbc news "washington journal" poll came in the heat of the release of the video. so perhaps there's some -- we have not seen the full breadth of polling postdebate. we'll see the impact that the -- the lasting impact on the electorate. the last we'll chance donald trump has is the last debate in las vegas to change momentum. you're right. downstream momentum, your party jumps ship. >> a bigger problem than that. his attacking the clintons as a response to this tape is precisely the wrong thing to do. what he needed to do, what bill clinton did in 1992. pivot to a message not about him

but about the american people. he did that, most effective in the first debate talking about the -- hillary clinton's 30 years and quite effective in the latter parts of the second debate talking aboutish us like trade. the dude has got to stop talking about sex and he's got to start talking about the economy and the thing that got him into the race in the first place. which was this appeal to people's sense the future is declining. >> it's so true. she goes after him, he goes after her. speaker says something, he goes after him. not talking about issues. hillary clinton believes this tape helps her a lot and wants to keep it in the news. donald trump says locker room talk. most say talking about sexual assault. hillary clinton says this -- >> a lot of athletes and coaches from the nba, from major league baseball, from the nfl and more have been coming forward, tweeting. they've been saying, no.

that's not what happens in our locker rooms. >> she clearly thinks this is to her advantage. i think hillary clinton talking sports is -- >> yeah. >> but she clearly thinks don't let donald trump change the subject. >> yeah. it's part of the whole message of donald trump is out of control. he doesn't have the ability to police himself and is disqualified. this fits like a glove into this message that the campaign has been trying to build for months and for moss and for months. they're happy to talk about it. they will talk about it forever and always, but you know, i think it's not enough. i think they realize that it's not enough. if your opponent's will fall into a ditch, might as well give him a little shove. >> also tacit recognition perhaps didn't talk enough about that video in the debate. a lot of people, concerned democrats, she let him off the hook essentially after the first part of the debate focused on that. the rest got into the other

issues, perhaps trump didn't as badly as people thought he would because he didn't have to answer a lot of questions about it and clearly she wants to keep this issue alive. >> look at the map. not only the presidential race, a superpac aligned, spending money on senate campaigns. you saw mccain, other republicans running away, maybe opportunities if trump is dragging the part down to go late into a race you didn't think two weeks ago had a prayer of winning and hillary clinton doing something interesting. listen to this ad. hillary clinton thinks lift that of republican saying, hmm, after listening to that. they're trying this. >> i cast my first vote for president as a college kid at the university of iowa. i voted republican then, and i have ever since. but i cannot vote for donald trump. so i'm putting party aside and voting for hillary clinton. >> i don't know how successful it will be but a smart pitch. especially in tighter swing states. >> it's a permission slip. republicans by and large, give them a permission slip to say

i'm leaving, this one time, even just this one time and going towards her, but you know, i mean -- the thing is, there's a lot of questions about whether this is actually a great strategy. i mean, republicans who are most amenable to this message are probably already thinking about leaving, at this late stage or four weeks to the election. i think those folks already know that they're on the cusp. this continues that messaging, but it doesn't kind of, like, really get them over the finish line and that's going to be about her. it has to be hillary clinton, can they vote for this woman otherwise might stay home when the campaign is okay with as well. >> and name john smith, incli-- inclined to do it, but her name is hillary clinton. >> it is striking that's the dynamic in this race where clinton, you know -- the republicans have loved to hate her for so long with the benghazi e-mails and the dbengh

situation, the e-mails and all of those things. now we're in a scenario because of how distasteful donald trump is for many republicans they're listening to john mccain or -- >> republicans are feeling better, republicans may vote for hillary clinton but doesn't mean voting demonstrate ticket. a lot of those republicans will vote for republican senate candidate or house member, doing what they've been doing their whole lives. >> aimed as democrats as well as republicans. trump saw an ierosion in independents. >> trump riding high into the first debate, leading among independents. that's going away. whoosh. we'll see. up next, the kellyanne/megyn attack.

code. back then as in nearly 4,000 years ago an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. here's trump's internet age adaptation. >> if they want to release more tapes saying inappropriate th g things, we'll continue to talk about bill and hillary clinton doing inappropriate things. there's so many of them, folks. i decided we would expose the hypocrisy of the clintons and the media and our politics to the entire world. as i outlined last night, bill clinton was the worst abuser of women ever to sit in the oval office. >> there's a case you can make against bill clinton, and his conduct while president, but i love that donald trump is exposing hypocrisy of everybody else. but those are his words on that tape. are they not? his pictures too, on that tape talking about forcing himself op women, having a tic tac first

and grabbing them in places i won't say on television. >> and to win an election, burn the whole place down. look at the best part of his campaign so far, it was right before that first debate when he was going around the country delivering focus speeches, attacking clinton as part of the establishment. saying the outsiders, agents of change, issued-specific speeches. these are not that. relitigating old scandals and controversies from the past. how does that make people vote for him instead? it's a confusing strategy. >> interesting. isn't obama supposed to be the lame duck? who has his bucket list, or something that rhymes with bucket list? remember made that quote at the dinner this year? seems he's behaving like a lame duck candidate. decided this is the result and take the whole thing down with him. >> do we think that's the case, or--"" n we" not us at the tabl

but everybody. trump this morning, show this again. priceless. so nice that shackles have been taken off me and i can now fight for america the way i want to. one example of this, the shackles are off, because so restrained and guarded in the past, at the israelis, a chant heard at the convention, lock her up, lock her up, trump at the advice of advisors say, better vote. not anymore. >> hillary clinton, oh, she's crooked, folks. she's crooked as a $3 billion. a $3 bill. okay. here's one. just came out. lock her up is right. >> oh. during the debate he said he's going to have a special prosecutor. snarky, but said you belong in jail. >> hatred in her heart. >> yeah. people are really not -- this is not kosher. for i think a lot of americans. there's a basic premise what we

are versus what sort of non-democratic countries are, and it's that we don't lock people up because we oppose them politically. and even while people, voters, might not trust hillary clinton, i think it goes a little too far to really buy into that. and not to mention the fact it just makes people cringe, and people don't want to cringe when they think about this election. and that's another reason why this whole monica lewinsky, paula jones strategy is questionable. because it makes people feel really depressed about this election. not a great way to get them willing to vote for you, even if you're tearing someone else down. there is a sort of overwhelming pessimism about this election that i think it's a miscalculation for trump to play into that, even further. >> that's why republicans, like paul ryan, back to the first part of the show, can't defend donald trump. because they can't -- they don't want to say that hillary clinton deserves to go to jail or they don't want to talk about bill

clinton's sex scandals. look, where is mitch mcconnell? senate majority leader is nowhere to be found. when asked a couple weeks ago at a press conference, why don't you talk about donald trump? he said, i choose not to. the party is hiding because of all of these things he's saying. >> reading this morning on a flight back from boston to here he said in a speech, home state of kentucky, i have nothing to discuss or report. >> he said you can lead, expecting moo e to talk about the presidential race. >> he's the senate majority leader, whose title is at stake in this election and won't talk about the candidate for president. donald trump doesn't have the money hillary clinton has heading into the election. a controversy he could race more. with money he does have he's on television with this -- >> announcer: hillary clinton failed every single time as secretary of state. now she wants to be president. hillary clinton doesn't have the fortitude, strength or stamina to lead in our world. she failed as secretary of state. don't let her fail us again.

>> i'm donald trump, and i approve this message. >> in the debate, what does he admire about hillary clinton? hi response, her toughness. fights, never gives up. >> what i admire about donald -- >> they're going to cut that -- >> what i admire about donald trump. subtlety. >> the clinton campaign will cut that moment from the debate and put it in an ad. that's literally what they've been saying all along and donald trump just said it. but his campaign, with this ad, is going down a completely different path. and it's also -- kind of like a swift boat, sort of ad, not the kind of thing you would normally expect from a campaign, rather from the sort of outside agents working on their behalf. >> like breitbart. >> yeah, or any of the number super pacs out there. it's surprising to see this kind of ad. i think the reason why campaigns usually don't do it, though, is because it's extremely risky. it can backfire. so we will see. >> and head scratching a lot of

republicans, so much ammunition to use against hillary clinton. time as secretary of state, private e-mail server, benghazi, you name it. to chao to go after that, just -- seems like there are plenty of other things to do than rattle, unify republicans that can actually score political points. >> interesting moment. listen to mike pence a second. interesting box at the moment. he says he chastised trump privately and has publicly for comments on that tape. how mike pence describes it on the campaign trail. >> -- because i believe in grace. i've received it. i believe in it. i believe in forgiveness. and we're called to forgive as we have been forgiven. my running mate, he showed the american people what was in his heart. he showed humility to the american people. >> where was the humility? >> what movie is mike pence watching?

really? does he have, like, the google glasses seeing this entirely different donald trump than anyone else? >> what is he supposed to do, the question? a lot of republicans, republicans that don't like clear, be clear, don't like trump, said mike pence should leave the ticket to send his displeasure. he's not doing that. made crystal clearly won't. >> and leading up to sunday, a sense he may. that would have been the death blow to trump's campaign. it reminds you of an excruciating process vice-presidents have to go through. submitting tax returns, these things. not similar for the vice presidential candidate to vet the presidential one. and there's a sense that mike pence is learning things along with the rest of us about donald trump's taxes, this tape. learns things from news reports and not trump. >> new rule? might be a new rule for the next campaign. do it the first way. up next, return of al gore. right. plus 450,000 reasons we can't be

welcome back again. four weeks from today is officially election day when wei get to get the results and fill this in. red states, blue states, see who wins the presidency. for many, already been election day. early voting is common. by election day, 40% of americans will side, roughly 40% decide to vote before so they don't have to turn out that tuesday. more than 450,000 ballots cast already. 190,000 from the critical battleground states, plus the district of columbia offering some early voting. a glimpse of what's happening. bump this up. the states voting now. early voting open now including in battleground iowa. not to insult the others, don't tend to swing presidential elections. starting tomorrow, more states kick in. move out to the mountain west, up here and then next week, by next week, a whole lot more including critical state like north carolina.

can clinton move the dial in a place like georgia? look at early voting number there's to test it. this is why, because so many americans can vote now, that just about every event, every interview, listen to hillary clinton. not just a candidate. she's an organizer. >> this is a critical choice, and it's a particularly critical choice for african-americans. my opponent has insulted e everybody. he's insulted women. he's insulted, you know, african-americans, and latino, and immigrants and people with disabilities, and p.o.w.s and muslims. i mean, he's insulted everyone. so people need to understand what's at stake in this election. that's why it's so important, if you're registered to vote that you're registered to vote and your information is up to date. >> in many ways the defining test. talk about what candidates say, but how their operations work were. president obama, including senator obama, lost both times on election day. he won the presidency in two landslides because of early voting. >> right. the clock has already run out. there is no more time left.

iowa starts early voting tomorrow. next week, people are voting in person in north carol killkarca nevada. the ball game, people are going out casting ballots and there is no time to build and argument or to make up lost ground. every day people are taking what they have understood from the election the last six months, going out and casting a ballot, and so even if the republican party decided today or yesterday or the day before yesterday to cut trump loose, in some cases it is already too late. >> that's why the clinton camp is pushing hard, for specifically the voting block they've struggled with, millennials. trying to get them to vote early. a big focus on college campuses. >> al gore out today. >> exactly. all part of that effort, bank those millennial votes early, because they may not show up on election day. >> interesting a great organizational test. say you're a republican, early voted for trump and then voted

for trump. can't get it back. offends you, it's too late. a democrat already vote ford clinton, reading things hacked from john pa teodespodesto's e-. about what a that? >> and kellyanne conway mostly on television at this point and clinton robby mook, lead oe organizer, esler essentially the guy that won them ohio. what did she win ohio by? 0.2%? a victory. that was a victory of field organizing against a chooandida very unpopular. the untold story of this campaign, the thing we don't talk about, able to talk about people making statements, able to talk about trump. the real story of this campaign comes out later. the 150 people working in brooklyn doing met tricrics. >> look at 2012's election. the nuts and bolts.

organizing, including early voting. to the wikileaks point made. bernie sanders, why didn't somebody release clinton's e-mails a long time ago? dough to the drugg report, hillary clinton hates everyday americans. say it, right here in an e-mail from the campaign chairman. tough to see on the little screen. i know she's gown hate everyday americans but i think we should use it. >> john podesta didn't put quotes, but hillary clinton wanted something else to say in her speeches. it's there in john po tedestpod e-mails. it's right there. >> the frustration. donald trump is not hammering this done in a way it's effective. >> they're using that. trust me. >> also, the release of the speeches to banks last week. that came out, unfortunately,

for the trump campaign, the day the video came out and had her talking about open borders, and contradicting what she said publicly, and you know, if trump doesn't hammer home this message, and focuses on her stamina and health, et cetera, he may lose a key argument against her. >> he's his own worst enemy in ways. that is his voice on the tape. wants to counterpunch against bill clinton whb there's a treasure-trove that maybe hillary clinton can explain it, but a good campaign would make her. >> in the debate, trump did not seize on some of the things that came out late in the week. so much of the discussion on other things and responding to the tape, rather than sort of on the offense on some of the damaging things that in any other campaign would sort of really stick to hillary clinton. >> for the record, i hated every day americans, too. >> you meant that in quotes. right? >> everyday americans? what does that mean? >> every other day americans. i love every other day americans. >> john podesto, put you on the air anytime.

and jennifer paulmary. send skippy quotation marks. you don't see it unless you hang out with an organizer. the fact she'll have al gore with millennials talking about climate change, the first lady out for her, the president, sanders, warren, biden. that many people to go to the states to drum that message. donald trump has mike pence. >> i mean, we talk about how much do surrogates matter? that's where they matter. you know, even though, you know, trump have scored a lot of points with his base, attacking the party. having those people out in the field at this point is crucial. amplifies the message, helps with early voting and registration. fires up key elements of the base. he has mike pence, himself and nobody having rallies around the country. >> and the worry, democrats see 11-point lead in the polls. she doesn't need me.

i was voting against trump rather than for hillary clinton. >> the way trump's campaign does not you saw it yesterday with a huge crowd at ohio state where i think clinton will try and sort of bank those votes now. you know, for that very reason. >> better bank as many as she can. look at the last two elections. democrats need to get them in early. up next, one topic you'll hear from hillary clinton from now all the way through election day.

remember when you said men are supeyeah...ivers? yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands.

around the "inside politics" table, out front of the political news around the country. >> chaos is swirls around the campaign. the republican party in crisis. wikileaks, e-mails, scandals of the '90s back. but the clinton campaign is determined to stay focused on one issue. the economy. because wishy-washy republican

voters and independents kind of flailing back and forth throughout this election need to be locked down, and they need to do that with something to vote for. not just against. so they've been putting out new tax cuts. going see her talking more to this sort of, like, middle america group. they need to lock this down so they can move on and try to expand the map. they will only do that if they feel more comfortable about where they are with moderates and independentsants policy. policy? really? policy. okay. matt? >> the election's not over but already a lot of conversations about the aftermath and one relationship to watch is elizabeth warren and hillary clinton. we -- my colleague dug through these john podesto e-mails and found a lot of angst over elizabeth warren in those within the clinton campaign. thinking at one point changing clinton's policy on banking reg laces to appease elizabeth warren. some of this was good primary politics. but also sort of showed the degree to which the clintons

were nervous about warren, and i think in the aftermath of this, warren could be a voice in opposition to hillary clinton, and not always on the same side sort of a thorn in her side. so i think that's a relationship to watch. and sort of see whether there's going to be any democratic party revolt, you know, against clinton at some point the way we're seeing a lot of intern turmoil in the republican party. >> fun. e-mails really interesting. >> one of the striking things that happened in the second debate, soon as it was over in the spin room heard the same expression over and over again. he stopped the bleeding. the perception inside that building from the spinners and from the reporters i think at variance to what people at home saw. the polls taken after the legitimate ones not the snap ones, showed that most of the viewers either gave hillary clinton a narrow edge or ruled it a tie. this is what the clinton campaign is most afraid of apard from the wikileaks disclosures. that we in the media will try to

turn it into a horse race and not less her cruise to the finish, and as you know, hillary clinton is not the world's best closer. >> ah. history proves you right on that point, sir. >> speaking of after the election, paul ryan, we talked a lot about his challenges with donald trump. he'll have a lot of challenges internally with his own republican conference. even if he does hang on to the majority, probably going to lose seats. there's going to be a much narrower majority. a lot of moderates lose, conservatives come back emboldened. members of the house freedom caucus, more making it hard for him to compromise, and then look at the senate side, a narrow majority either way. democrat controlled or republican controlled. if hillary clinton is in the white house, how does that, how does ryan navigate the land mines cutting deals, dealing with conservative conference at the same time maybe looking out for a possible 2020 run. his challenges maybe look difficult now, but could get a lot worse.

>> and multiplying. defending donald trump has taken republican down a path they may revet. alabama senator sessions. former prosecutor, former alabama attorney general law and order conservative, devout christian and former sunday school teacher. session asked about that tape where trump brags forcing himself on women including grabbing what we describe to our children at private parts. trump used a different word. i won't rebate it. i don't characterize that as sexual assault. that's a stretch. forget politics for a minute, senator. what about your daughters and granddaughters? saying what he described in that tape is nos sexual assault, forgive me, senator, outrage. thanks for joining me.nna k and she starts after this quick break.

hello there. i'm brianna keilar in nor wolf blitzer. it is 1:00 p.m. here in washington. wherever you're watching from around the world, thank you so much for joining us. we're now exactly four weeks from election day and donald trump put his campaign in a new gear tweeting, "it is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and i can now fight for america the way i want to." trump has been waging war for the past 24 hours against republican house speaker paul ryan for comments ryan made saying he was done defending trump and would focus instead on house races instead of the presidential race. now, this morning trump tweeted this -- he said despite winning the second debate in a landslide. every poll, i should point out that is inaccurate, it is hard to do well when paul ryan and others give zero support. then this -- "our very weak and ineffective leader paul ryan had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his
