>> well, just enough time to say thanks so much for an all-star panel. thanks, everybody. dagen: happy columbus day. maria: see you tomorrow, same time and place, here is stu. stuart: thanks very much indeed. that was really something, wasn't it. it sure lived up to its billing. good morning, everyone. it was tense, it was personal. never seen anything like this in mod den presidential politics. before the debate, i stress, before the debate. donald trump appeared with some of the women allegedly assaulted by bill clinton and they were then seated in the front row and when it was started he apologized for what he called locker room talk. very embarrassed and i hate it.

he pivoted and never stopped. at one point said he would appoint a special prosecutor, and later she would be in jail. and hillary attacked trump character. and foreign policy, taxation, the issues, yes, they came up. at the center of the debate was the trump videotape, hillary's e-mail and open borders revelation and just who is fit to sit in the oval office. my opinion? trump went in reeling and came out stable. clinton went in on a roll and she did not knock him out. we've said this many times. you have never seen anything like this. well, stay right there. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ .

>> if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> when they go low, you go high. >> bernie sanders said she had bad judgment. she has really bad judgment. i was so surprised to see him sign on with the devil. >> he owes our country an apology, and he needs to take responsibility for his actions and his words. >> when you talk about apology, i think the one that you should really be apologizing for and the thing you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 e-mails that you deleted and that you acid washed. >> that was something i said about abraham lincoln. >> now she's blaming the lie on the late, great abraham lincoln. that's one that i-- okay, honest he is abe, never

lied. that's the good thing, the big difference between abraham lincoln and you. >> donald, i know you're in big diversion tonight anything to avoid to talk about your campaign and the way it's exploding and the way republicans are leaving you. >> she calls our people deplorable, a large group, and irredeemable. i will be a president for all of our people. >> i'll be the best president i can be for every american. stuart: well, did you stay up all the way through in 'cause those were just a few of the highlights from the 90 minutes much poison, shall we call it, from both sides last night. let's get right at it, shall we? tammy bruce is here. trump's job was to stop the bleeding from the videotape. did he do it? >> he did. and then he strolled out of the emergency room. he did more than just stop the bleeding. here is what's important about last night. even though the content was good and he got to the issue. people saw armageddon for the last 48 hours, wondering would he at least survive. he not only survived.

he prevailed. this is a test of leadership. this is what the clinton campaign gave him effectively, was showing the american people that he can be under massive attack from all sides and deal with it adapt, change and then be steady, be focused on the issues and that's a test of leadership that you can't speak about or tell people about, you have to show it and he showed it last night. that's the thing that resonates with everyone. women, independents, undecideds, it's leadership at a time of crisis. >> you were the president of the n.o.w. chapter in los angeles 10, 15 years ago. >> yeah. stuart: national organization of women. how did you respond to trump's videotape. >> look, clearly it's awful, as feminists we want men to be better than that. we ask them to be better than that and he said, his campaign is making him a better man. that's what we can ask of everyone, really, every day, each one of us tries to be a better person. in the meantime though, and

this is also the uniqueness of the timing. there are so many extension issues because of the failure of liberal leadership, a time like what trump and solutions are, prevails and eclipses the comments. stuart: tammy, extraordinary. you're saying it's time for a man. >> i'm saying. stuart: that's what you're saying. >> i'm saying it's time for a leader, eliminating the notion of political correctness. our solutions are not going to become better because somebody is bowing to the proper way. we need somebody that's going to take charge. i would love it to be somebody like president reagan again. the fact is donald trump is a different kind of individual. i believe he will win and he will deliver. in fact, then improving the lives of women and girls everywhere because the future of the united states will be more secure. stuart: tammy, stay there, please. because obviously, there's a lot more to go. tammy bruce. >> thank you. stuart: there's a conference call, it's less than two hours

from now, republican members of the house and senate will get on that call, they've got to decide what level of support, if any, to give donald trump. trump surrogate steve cortez joins us now. did he win them back. on saturday, when the video was breaking, a passel were walking away from donald trump. did you think he got them back? >> he should have. if they've got sense. he's the rocky balboa, when he's on the mat he's coming back. he made the case that hillary clinton is completely untrustworthy, that she is a fundamentally flawed candidate and on the positive side he made the case that he's the fighter for the regular, common american worker and he has a path forward of deregulation, energy, tax cuts so we can break out of this economic

malaise that we're in. if those members are congress aren't willing to listen to the american people on that it's too bad for them the trump train is pulling out of the station and they need to get on. stuart: republicans in congress have to make a calculation, if they stay with trump are they tarnished with his brush. if they dump trump, they're responsible for a hillary clinton presidency, that's the case, isn't it? >> you say tarnish with his brush, after last night, that hillary clinton was rattled. not fit for our commander-in-chief, more fit for a prison cell. and that donald trump offers a way forward, hope, optimism and economic growth. stuart: okay. vice-presidential candidate governor pence, he kind of walked away from trump on saturday morning, wouldn't go to a meeting with republicans to stand in interest donald trump and kind of walked away

from it. pence says-- . his sincere and personal remorse, i wanted to give him time to show his heart on sunday night and i thought he did that. expressing the fact that he was embarrassed. not proud of it that kind of vulnerability and -- >> it looks like the ticket is united, but the party it not. >> i think that governor pence will be vital, he's extremely respected on capital hill. i don't know that we ever lost him, but he's fully publicly behind the ticket. stuart: i want a bit more later on. what's happening on the markets?

we're going up maybe 90, 100 points? is it anything to do with the debate last night. >> the peso went up because some thought hillary clinton won. stuart: the futures show about 100 on the dow. price of ole, above $50 a barrel and that's usually a plus for stocks. and putin speaking in istanbul, he's ready to join in common limits to oil. twitter way down this morning, a report of the company's unlikely to receive any bids at all. we're back to 17 on twitter. now, this story, this is now a huge headache for one of the world's best known companies, we're talking south korea's samsung. they've temporarily halted all production of the galaxy note 7 phone and yesterday, at&t and t-mobile said they'd stop offering replacements for that phone. the latest?

liz: sprint, t-mobile, verizon and at&t, they're going to offer replacement devices and waiting on refunds, too, that's the news that's coming in. they will give you other phones separate from a note 7. stuart: they won't give you the note 7? >> right, you can get a separate phone. watch this, maybe four incidents of the note 7 replacement devices catching fire. one in kentucky now, and another in virginia, where the owne they awoke to find it on fire on the night stand and this is after the plane-- >> they said that the phones weren't catching fire, something else liz: that's right. ashley: their credibility is going downhill. stuart: sure is. what a problem. if you were watching the debate last night you missed sunday night football. giants, packers, packers quarterback aaron rogers threw two touchdown passes and packers win 23-16. there you have it. alibaba, we call them china's

amazon getting into the movie business teaming up with steven spielberg's studio. they want to make original movies for global chinese movie. alibaba slightly up at the open. the damage is coming in and the southeast had a hit from hurricane matthew. cumberland county, north carolina. more than 700 people evacuated and rescued from the flooding just like this. the worst damage from matthew came towards the end of the storm period over the weekend. but you know, that was overshadowed in the news by revelations on the campaign trail. 19 people in the u.s. died from matthew's wind, rain and flooding. we've got a real problem in the middle east, after seeing this this morning. u.s. navy ships were fired on by iranian backed rebels. military officials tell they're taking the attack very seriously. dozens of republicans pulling support from trump after the

leaked studio of him making lewd comments about women. up next, the first congressman to endorse trump. will he stand by his candidate? are you on medicare? do you have the coverage you need?

>> the price of oil is this morning is going up again, 50-53. that's helping the stock market. the dow should open 100 points higher. look at tesla. that's going up as well. elon musk is tweeting, his company doesn't need to raise money this year and there will be an announcement on october 17th. won't say what it is. but that's, investors like that. up it goes back up to $200 a share. now this, iranian backed houthi rebels in yemen fired at a navy destroyer in the red sea. ashley: mason in the red sea and they came from territory within rebels by the houthis.

the missiles landed well short of the ship and went harmlessly into the ocean. this is a saudi-led coalition that's been fighting shiite rebels in yemen and these houthi rebels are known to have a large stock pile of old soviet era missiles. so it's not unlikely, but the first time a u.s. navy ship like that has been come under attack, but nothing happened. stuart: all right. let's get back to that debate. how can we possibly move away from it. donald trump went into the debate reeling on locker room comments. and the congressman, the first to endorse him. are you still with him? >> oh, absolutely. stuart. my support of donald has never wavered and like many others, i was disappointed when that video came forward as something he said 11 years ago, but the

binary choice america face, a future effective next four years of barack obama, if hillary clinton were to win, the future of the supreme court, versus donald trump, the change agent, that's going to bring about the change we need, get the economy moving, secure the borders, and make sure we do defeat isis and stand up to vladimir putin. that didn't change and donald trump did an exceptional job last night, taking perhaps some of the lead from mike pence with his debate, in shrugging off some of the attacks that hillary made and went back at her. i love the abe lincoln comment when she was talking about abe lincoln, that's honest abe, hillary and you are a liar. he took it right to her. stuart: i've got to tell you, i've spoken to a lot of people before and after the debate and many of the women that i have spoken to said, look, that's it. i don't want someone who talks like that and who did that and who boasts like that in the oval office.

you've got to be worried about the level of support that trump's going to get from women because if he doesn't get what, 40% of the women's vote, he loses. >> well, but women want a safe america, something we don't have because of decisions, bad decisions that hillary clinton and barack obama made. last night, hillary clinton said when donald trump challenged her on the red line in syria, which is the root cause of where we are in the mess in syria, she said i wasn't there and certainly the fact checkers said she absolutely was there. so, again, she tried to lie her way away from what was really the beginning of isis, premature pullout of iraq and the red line in syria. stuart: congressman, i thought that the open borders revelation was the real bombshell that trump should have come out with more last night. look, thanks for joining us. i know you're going to be on the conference call about 11:00. >> you're correct. stuart: good luck in that conference call. we'll get the results shortly.

>> will do. thank you, stuart. stuart: here is a sign of the times. seven out of ten people in america have less than a thousand bucks cash saved. we've got more on that coming up. first, donald trump, he holds a pre-conference meeting with women from bill clinton's past. and we are on this. >> i'm here to support trump. >> i'm juanita broderick and i'm here to support donald trump. >> i'm here to support donald trump. >> you can run an errand.

was that a successful tactic to raise the issue of bill clinton's women, have them there, and then put them on the front row? >> yes, on two fronts. one, it reminded people about what he's been saying, is that there's a difference between words and actions. between the difference of what mrs. clinton represents as an enabler of a man who is physically abused women allegedly, versus locker room talk. secondarily it also put hillary and her family on their heels. for 30 years now, no one held them accountable and it was symbolism as well who is going to be responsible? do the same rules, do the same laws apply to hillary clinton and her family? because we've seen again now for over a generation or two, they don't. this is signaling on many different fronts, i think it's why the issue of the videotape of mr. trump's did not last through the entire debate, it ended within five minutes and accomplished that so they can deal with the issues and he could deal with the issues. i think it was successful and

appropriate considering what happened starting on friday. stuart: we have differences of opinion on this program. liz, you have a different opinion? >> i think being impeached by the house is being held accountable as bill clinton was. nobody in the-- and the polls reflected fox news poll, women-- trump is losing by 12 percentage points with women and people out there having this conversation, do we even want our sons around that kind of locker room talk? just because it sounds okay to say it in a locker room doesn't ma i can it right, it's a low standard and i cannot believe this debate is at. accusing rosie o'donnell, bringing o'donnell to the first debate, what he could light another dumpster fire distracted from his policy about economic growth. that would be very bad for the country. stuart: we welcome and all opinions on this program. nicely put. liz, appreciate that. the trouble is mounting for samsung and then some. and the galaxy note 7, it's temporary and the replates were

overheating and smoking, some wireless carriers say they're going to as well. does the rally have anything at all to do with last night's debate? stay right there, the bell is next. is it a professor who never stops being a student? is it a caregiver determined to take care of her own? or is it a lifetime of work that blazes the path to your passions? your personal success takes a financial partner who values it as much as you do. learn more at tiaa.org

>> all right. we've got about what, 12 seconds to go before we kick off trading this monday morning. this is the day after the debate. bang! it's 9:30, we're off and running and we're supposeded to go up quite a lot. in the first few seconds, 49, 53 points, almost all of the dow 30 are in the green. we're up at the opening bell for the dow. how about the s&p 500, a broader-based indicator. is this a bradder-based rally? yes, it is, we're up eight points there, how about the nasdaq? is this a rally in technical stocks there. 26 points higher there, half a percent. the price of oil, will you look at this. $50.61 per barrel and it's up and that's helping stocks. we always look at apple when we're talking about the rival samsung, there's news this

morning on samsung, it's halted temporarily, galaxy note 7 production, and apple's up at 115. tesla's elon musk says a big announcement coming up october 17th and won't say what it is, but the market loves it. up 4 1/2 dollars, 201. twitter ouch, more reports the companies didn't get any buyout bids, down it goes, 12%. who is with us? are they awake after the big debate last night? ashley is here, todd horowitz and steve cortez. i want to get to the debate. did it have any impact on the market. any impact whatsoever? start with you, keith? >> i think it did, stuart. i think last night the debate traders line up with one side of the fence. exactly what they're saying, i don't know. i think this is directly a result of last night.

stuart: steve, is this rally a direct result of last night's debate? what do you say? >> i don't think so. i think this morning's rally is much more about crude oil as you cited and i think it might be thin trading. bond markets are closed because of columbus day. generally in thin trading. i don't think it's a political verdict. it's much more about crude oil. >> how about you, todd horowitz. what do you think? >> well, i think it has a little to do with the news that came out on friday. the markets rallied immediately after that. before the debate. a retracement to the mid role of this. oil is higher this morning and a little to do with the election as well. not necessarily the debate. >> ashley. >> i don't know what the markets did make of the debate? what's it telling us? i don't think that hillary gained any more supporters or trump did. the undecided is undecided. >> the only concrete thing to report is that the mexican peso

went up quite strongly at the end of the debate. >> what's that, pro hillary? >> pro hillary. believes that hillary will be the next president, up goes the peso, not sure if that means up goes our stock. 114 points higher today. look at apple. we always talk about apple when we talk about the main rival in the phone market. that's samsung. samsung is temporarily stopping all production of the galaxy note 7. >> telephone carriers, at&t, t-mobile, will give you a different device, not a samsung. even the replacement device. ash and i were talking about it, there have been at least four new cases of the note 7 replacement catching fire, including one in kentucky and one in virginia, started burning overnight and burnt the night stand. so, australia is doing the same thing. stuart: it's disastrous. ashley: you have the problem

and then replace it with the same problem. stuart: you have a way of getting to the point there. take a look at alibaba's stock. that's china's amazon. america's foremost film maker, steven spielberg is making movies for a global audience liz: it's spielberg's production company. what they're talking about in china, it will be the biggest film market in world by 2020. 100 billion is the size of the entertainment and film market there. it's including "star trek" so it's on the move. stuart: keith, i'm looking at the chart from alibaba, a nice chart late upper 60's in march to 107 now. would you buy it on the strength of this move into movies and original content? >> oh, i think it's-- absolutely makes alibaba stronger, because it quadruples the size and global exposure and very, very deep pockets.

>> yes, this is a net positive for the stock. stuart: everybody keep your eyes on that dow industrial average because it keeps inching up. it's an explosive open at the bell, up 100 points quickly and now we're up 115. climbing ever so gradually. but we've got to check twitter. this is the big mover of the and i mean moving down. it's off 11%. reports over the weekend that nobody wanted to buy it. what do you make of this, keith? >> oh, i wouldn't touch this thing with a 10-foot pole or tweet. i've been against this stock since the ipo. it's simply technology, like somebody talking to somebody at the bar, you're using the internet to do it. a billion people tried it and left. why on earth would anybody buy it? >> okay, we like strong opinions and you gave one. how about mylan, the epipen people, a big winner. 12%. nicole, come in and tell me what's going on with this. nicole: amazing, they were

under intense scrutiny when they raised the price of the actual epipens made by mylan. they saw that up over 5, 600% and the ceo's pay soar. and now you have a price target they still have great sales numbers, and that they're going to make it through this whole thing and move to the upside. you have a settlement of 465 million dollars now, that can move forward with this for now. stuart: that's a really good rebound from scandal story. they do this with the epipen and take a big hit from the government and the stock goes straight up and some guy says it's going to 57 from 40. we should take a look at wells fargo. good stuff. how about the health insurers, listen to this. if you can't find an obamacare plan, one may be picked for you by the government

liz: yeah, and basically, you activate coverage if you pay that first premium, but you don't have to take it, but you may not have a choice because two-thirds of the-- have two or less insurance. we've never seen the government do this, pick it insurer for you and if you don't, we've never seen the u.s. government come in on say we'll pick or recommend a plan for you with double-digit increases. stuart: i would think that obamacare, this mess liz is describing, would have come up last night. >> the fact that bill clinton told us of all people that this plan is crazy and punitive to small business is revealing, i think. this is a job killer, unfair, central planning at its worst and trump said it and i believe it, what they're after here the left, they're trying to march us toward single pair

nationallized health care. stuart: briefly, a look at the dow. >> a. keeps going up. ashley: oil up to $51 liz: the webster ratio. stuart: why don't you take some credit. ashley webster ratio. ashley: 1.23 cents on oil. stuart: 128 and climbing on the dow. oil up, stocks up, big gain, 18-3 for the dow. here is a rather depressing story and a number for you, nearly seven in ten americans have less than a thousand bucks saved cash, less than a thousand. seven out of ten of us, ash. ashley: even worse, 34% of those don't have a dime in saving. 30% less than a thousand and what's interesting about the survey not every income group was worse off than the other. that's that took in 100 to 149,000 a year 44% of them had less than a thousand in

savings. stuart: hold on, if you make between 100 and 150 bucks a year. ashley: 44% of that group. stuart: hadn't got a thousand bucks? >> no, 150,000 plus, 29% had less than-- >> todd horowitz, i heard you in the background, what do you make of this. >> that's the great program brought to us by president obama, the 10 million jobs, everything they've talked about and what a wonderful job they've done with 1% growth if they're lucky with tons of debt and nothing really to show for it, except for a bunch of companies that have gotten bigger by borrowing cheap money. it's a great growth pattern we've been into right now. >> that's sarcasm if i'm not mistaken. >> however, goldman sachs is bearish on stocks for the rest of this year. is that accurate? >> yeah, they're saying the s&p 500 could go down to 2000 by year end. it's already overvalued by about 18 times earnings.

and the fed rate hike could tank the markets in december. we don't know if donald trump wins, what it will portend. we hear about economic growth, but his need for payback and revenge could set aside the growth policies, what we're hearing from wall street. stuart: well, goldman sachs is hillary clinton's bank liz: citigroup says the same thing, as well. stuart: fair and balanced. new hampshire offered a new explanation for the 900 million tax write-off. clinton backers like buffett and-- >> that's accurate. you carry forward losses to offset taxes you happen to have 916 million tax write-offs. and he's right in saying other billionaires, warren buffett, george soros does exactly the same thing and given 16 1/2 million bucks to the democrat party machine, if you like, in this election cycle. he's one of those that uses

this quite freely, as does everyone because it's not a loophole, it's know the tax law. stuart: wealth is not a loophole liz: it's there to get you back on your feet again after congress wiped out tax shelters in the '80s, so-- >> keith, there's nothing wrong with a loss carry forward, is there? >> no, it's perfectly permissible and expected. any prudent taxpayer has an obligation to pay taxes, but it doesn't mean they have to pay as much tax as they have to. they have as much obligation to pay as little tax as possible that's why things likes that exist. stuart: 11 minutes in, say thank you very much to steve, todd and keith, we appreciate you being here, one and all. now look at this, 142 on the dow industrials, 18, 383. the final presidential debate is about a week and a half away. wednesday, october 19th in vegas. the question, can trump unify

the party after locker room comments and before the next debate. iraqi backed houthi missiles were fire and missed. the tension, to coin a phrase, is rising. more varney in a moment. ♪ she's got a ticket to ride, she's got a ticket to ride ♪ ♪ she's got a ticket ride and she don't care ♪ with handles designed here, made here, shipped from here, on this plane flown by this pilot, who owns stock in this company, that builds big things and provides benefits to this woman, with new cabinets. they all have insurance crafted personally for them. not just coverage, craftsmanship. not just insured. chubb insured.

>> you're going to like this. the dow industrials are now up 150 points. it's not so much the debate, i don't think that's playing a role. it's the sharp rise in the price of oil. look at the bottom of your screen, oil is up, and stock is up. how about twitter? down big, 12% lower, they got no bids to buy out the company and that means that sales force is going straight up because they were not the bidder on twitter. ashley: up nearly 5%.

stuart: twitter is toxic, they didn't want sales force to buy them and they didn't. they're up, a gain. last night, did trump stop the bleeding and past the comments caught on video. by the way, lawmakers, republicans, they're set to hold a conference call about an hour from now, on how much support, if any, they will continue to give him. steve hayes, weekly standard guy, is with us now. did he stop the t and will he get the republican establishment back at least nominally with him? >> morning, stuart. i think he probably slowed any defections, at least the rate of defections, you could see a few more, but i think he probably slowed that with his performance last night. as it relates to the republicans and the defections, i think that you're likely to see this conference call take place and paul ryan not take a strong position. i don't think expect to see paul ryan announce he's not going to continue to support

mike pence, not because paul ryan as a person wouldn't want to withhold his support or withdraw his support from pence, but paul ryan the speaker doesn't want to do that to his house members in competitive districts who have already endorsed donald trump. he doesn't want to leave them sort of high and dry. stuart: steve, at the opening of this show, i tried to sum up the debate from trump's standpoint saying he went into the debate reeling and came out stable. would you roughly agree with that? >> yeah, basically i'd agree with that with one addition asterisk, when he denied specifically he had done the things he was caught on tape boasting about in 2005 i think he opened up a channel for reporters to seek out additional women who would say that he had in fact done the things that he was denying doing and you know, we've had a couple of reports, anonymous reports from women who suggest he had done those, one appeared

in the new york times in may, one person talked to erin burnett and said he popped in aic it -- a tic-tac and kissed. >> and the moderators, i think he called it three on one, listen to this. >> i'd like to know anderson, why aren't you bringing up the e-mails? i'd like to know. >> we brought up the e-mails. >> no, it hasn't and it hasn't been finished at all. >> nice, one on three. stuart: yeah, and would you fault the moderators at all, steve? >> i thought they missed a couple of opportunities to ask follow-ups at hillary clinton. she denied flat-out her team had used this bleach bit after her e-mails had been subpoenaed by congress. that's exactly what happened. she just denied it and i think, you know, if the moderators had been more familiar with the

chronology of that, it would have been the obvious flup question. i was watching the debate and reported on it heavily and looked into these things. it stopped me in my tracks, wait, what? how could she possibly make that claim and e-mailed a couple of people, to follow-up. am i remembering what happened? that's exactly what happened. they said, yes, that's exactly what happened. no follow-up. stuart: what a choice, first gentleman, bill clinton could be back in the white house, versus lewd, crude, donald trump in the white house. what a choice and that's, we're out of time. i'm sorry, steve. >> i'm with you,stuart. stuart: come back anytime you like. come on back. >> thank you. stuart: check that market. you're going to like it. the dow is up 150 points and 27 of the dow 30 are in the green. they're up. happening in the 11:00 eastern hour today. the republican hold a conference call. what is the future of the party with trump or away from him.

and hillary clinton's spokesman says i clearly apologize for the nature of the language, sorry all, but that response was in the extreme. lets not forget while hillary on on stage quoting michelle obama, when they go low, we go high. stuart: democrat turned trump supporter, with the trump-ocrats movement. are you still with donald trump after the release of that video and his debate report last night? >> 100%. the hatchet job that the clintons have done on him is the same old-same old. they've done this with every single opponent they've gone up again and his debate performance, i think he mobbed the floor with her last night. he was on offense the entire time. she was on defense the entire time and clearly here staffers were not, not real happy about the debate. stuart: that videotaped revealed some really crude and

sexually aggressive behavior by the looks of it. it was straightened out in the debate last night and donald trump denied he'd done some of the things he was talking about, but nonetheless, that was a really crude statement on his part and there may be more to come. you're not going to change your opinion at all? >> absolutely not. i mean, who wants to talk about-- we have hundreds of thousands of-- millions of jobs going overseas and we're going to talk about the sex and sleaze stuff? i mean, it's not getting anybody a job, it's not paving any new highways, it's not rebuilding our infrastructure. those are the problems that we're facing and people in this country are very unhappy about how things are going in washington. anthe clintons are going to do more of the same and trump is going to go up there and make some changes. has he said some stupid things, absolutely. but everybody has said some stupid things and hopefully

move past that and talk about the real issues facing this country. stuart: forgive me pressing this. do you want a man in the oval offense and looking at him every single day for the next four years, i should say, do you want that lewd, crude man in the white house? and i'm making no bones about it, i'm putting it right at you. >> sure. stuart: what do they think about this. >> gosh, we why in youngstown, ohio, we're in pittsburgh now going to the rally and up north, northwest of town in beaver county after this interview. and women, men, i mean, whites, blacks, we have everybody and they, they want to make a change in this country. and they don't want-- >> christian. ashley: i've got to jump back, you're with the policy issues and not with that. >> absolutely. stuart: we've got a lot more for you in just a moment. you can run an errand.

stuart: to trump video exploded on the world on friday night and saturday morning. it was, ugly stuff about his attitude towards treatment of women. it looked like a knockout punch. many republicans deserve it. then came the debate. could he stay in the game? his defense was first an apology and then attack. those women, the e-mails, open borders come if open borders, say one thing a private come one thing in private cumin scented mouth in public. nonstop attack. it was a clear effort to stay in the game. franklin is a focus group of undecided voters at the end of the debate he asked which candidate has the most impact on their vote? most of them said trump, but that does not mean he won or must be an lee carter's focus group check the response of independence.

when trump attacked, the independence went with trump. more on this in a moment. 11 hours after the debate. the political world is still trying to find out what just happened. here is my bottom line. trump went in and got lit up the shape. this morning he is still very much in the game. hillary clinton went in on a wave of support. the debate could have been for her and knockout opportunity but it wasn't. trump is still very much in the game. the second hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. >> it's awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> everything you heard just now is not true. i'm sorry i have to keep sameness, but events in an

alternative reality. >> we have a divided nation. she has tremendous faith in her heart. >> he has said the video doesn't represent who he is. but it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is. >> though clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously. >> of course more in the debate and a moment. this is a stock market rally the day after the debate. we've got a rally up 134 points as we speak. the big reason for that rally is this. the price of oil in your 3% gain up to about 40. 5123. putin of russia says he may go along with an oil price -- in oil production free spirit that is why crude is up and not as when stocks are a good apple,

big rival samsung has halted production of the galaxy knows seven phone. up goes apple. twitter down it goes. report that the company didn't get any buyout bids at all down 13% and salesforce.com which did not did is now up four bucks a share. tesla, elon musk, big announcement october 7th team. he won't say what it's all about. that's a good enough for a $5, $6 k. for tesla. never forget amazon. we check it everyday. $843 a share of half a percent this morning. now this. a heated exchange from last night. hillary clinton telling donald trump she thinks it campaign is exploding. watch this. >> okay, donald. i know you are into big diversion, anything to avoid your campaign can do with exploding. drain to the word exploding used

a couple times they are. meanwhile, the list of republicans who say they are not supportive. a pretty long list from senator john mccain and kelley ayotte all the way through to their second full screen. former secretary of state condoleezza rice, gop support seems to be running a little thin. trump campaign's chief operating officer jeff dewitt is with us now. i am sure you are going to disagree with hillary's contention that your can aim is exploding. it is not exactly gaining a lot of ground at this point. >> well, after the debate performance last night, i would say our campaign ethics voting with excitement over an extraordinarily excellent performance by a candidate. stuart: jeff, are you serious? >> exploding with excitement. that was incredible. he did a great job. it's funny when she was caught in a lie that the e-mail showed

she brings up a reference to honest abe in passing the 13th amendment. i'm glad she did because honestly that could've been one of the greatest republican debate performances since honest abe. stuart: wait a second. i talked to a lot of people since the videotape was released and since the debate. not many women are prepared to say gap, he is the guy. i want him in the house. if he does not get 40% of the women's vote, he doesn't win and i don't get this moment after the videotape i don't think he gets 40% of the women's vote. >> i think it's going to be fine. my wife is excited. i have three daughters. the main thing you saw is when he did something that he regretted he came out, i apologize and said he won't do it again. if you do something wrong, nobody's perfect. you come out, all in it apologize and move on. stuart: prior to the debate basically a last-minute press

conference with four clinton accusers. i'm going to watch this. it is a real-time reading of reactions to her comments. this is for the carter. show this videotape. lewis are democrats coming out independents. watch this, please. >> i am here to support donald trump. i tweeted recently and mr. trump we'd tweeted me that actions speak louder than words. mr. trump may have said some bad words, but though clinton raped me and hillary clinton threatened me. stuart: very sorry to my viewers. lee carter who did this shaking your head, that was not clear. i do apologize. lee carter, straighten this out because i saw the original tape and clearly the independence

went with trump during that predebate press conference. tell us how big a deal it was. >> they certainly did. independents really surprised me. when i heard about this i thought there was no way it was going to work. it was the smart strategy whether we like it or not. this is a very dirty campaign. what they said is he is right. these actions that bill clinton did are worse than donald trump's words. on top of that, they made the case that hillary clinton was involved in a lot of bad behavior at the same time. all actions versus words argument did work with. it did say voters. to get them to 40%, but it's a step in the right direction and it certainly stops the bleeding. stuart: hold on. another dial for us. this one shows reaction to hillary clinton using abraham lincoln to jtify for not

telling the truth. again, republicans in red, democrats and blue, independence and yellow. i hope this tape works feared rowlett. >> in july. now she is blaming the lie and the late, great abraham lincoln. honest abe. unless they've never lied. that's a big difference between abraham lincoln and you. that's a big, big difference we are talking about. stuart: how come independents like that so much? >> the independents really like donald trump's performance last night. they felt that he had on every single issue that they are concerned about with hillary clinton. you're reminded of the things they were concerned about hillary clinton. he brought up the line, benghazi, e-mails. he brought up things people had forgotten about. he had a very solid performance. and this is dense, voters said he was able to see at this moment beauty seems very

likable, very calm and in some way showed a sense of humor about some thing that hillary clinton's responses confusing to voters. they were sure what she was trying to say or how she was trying to justify his health. he seized the moment and the moment and made it his own. stuart: more in a moment. it was a contentious debate from the get-go. , did you see the handshake in the beginning? transport it was an awkward, chilly moments that came just moments after donald trump held the press conference with the women who accused bill clinton of sexual assault and harassment. basically we've never seen. it's exceedingly rare to see the candidates nod at each other and not shake hands. stuart: you're the ceo of the trump campaign. we are told there is more stuff like the locker room talk still to come. the timing of it could be right before the third debate, right

before the election. >> again, we are not elect in a sunday school teacher. we all know donald trump is one of the most successful business people of all time and that is what we are lacking. we are electing a leader, not a sunday school teacher. no one expected him to be perfect. we do expect he's an outsider to washington and massachusetts on the debate last night. he saw her stand up for washington elites and you saw him stand up for the american people stuart: jeff to wake him at thank you indeed. donald trump catching criticism or where he stood. ashley: gas, the camera angle work last night on the stage. many times silly claim was speaking in donald trump's useless workday moved behind. there is some people saying for a man facing questions about his statements over sexual assault, not a great look. the very good, they undetood

it was a small space. donald trump is trying to get to the back of the chair to rest in the sonorous hillary clinton -- there was another thing. a fly. a fly landed at some point on hillary's face. it came and went so quickly she did not time to swat it away. they landed a second time on her blouse. that opened up all sorts of statements like lady of the flies, the russians live. that's why was deplorable. you name it. all sorts of fun had with it. i do think -- i know that beth and i will have an absolute field day with donald trump standing by in hillary clinton. you know it's coming. liz: can i make a point but was awol. any comment on those terrific hitter in treatment of women. a routine response is this. donald trump can run the campaign the way he wants.

that is how she dislikes it. never addresses the real clinton allegedly did to women. stuart: shut up about it. what is the value of bringing it up? why do it? why go there? i want to update you on hurricane matthew. it has less distraction all across the southeast and i mean serious destruction. 19 people dead. nearly half of them in north carolina. a thousand people rescued yet not evacuated, rescued 3000 people in shelters across this region. 2 million businesses and homes along the eastern seaboard still without power. an aerial view of south carolina yesterda look at that, water all over the place. a 22-year-old syrian man accused of planning a bomb attack on an international airport. explosives were found in that man's home.

serious migraines were discussed at the debate last night. not much but they got there. hillary says we need to take more in. trump says not to that extreme dieting. >> the muslim bandits and being that in some form has morphed into an extreme dieting from certain areas of the world. -- extreme that being from certain areas of the world.

stuart: wikileaks has released her is releasing more than two dozen e-mails reportedly connected to hillary's campaign manager john podesta. our reporters in washington are going over them. we'll bring you developments in the 2000 e-mails a link at them. you'll hear it. check the markets. dow 30 mostly green arrows that dallas up close to 150 points. tesla says they are going to reveal a new product on october october 17th.

people say what it is that investors like the idea of a new product at seven bucks 3.5%. big news this morning. every thing to the rebels yemen fired ms. al-assad a u.s. navy destroyer detroit in the red sea. kt mcfarland is here, fox news national security analyst and now a member of trump's national security team. missiles that an american warship in the persian gulf. that sounds like serious stuff to me. >> acts of war. the obama administration, secretary clinton, secretary kerry if they can't take what you want. here's the money coming your suspensions. you could have a nuclear program we are going to be friends of the middle east. the iranians took everything we gave them and now they've turned their backs and what they do now is fire on an american vessel and in international waters. stuart: using a proxy organization.

>> that's how i read marx. they don't do anything directly. sailors have a copout or intermediary using the iranian backed rebels in yemen. there are saudi backed rebels in yemen as well. they are doing it with iranian weapons. stuart: at a shrine to run president obama out of town and missed last four weeks? >> is a good question. a lot of it is let me show you we can push you around. a lot of it is understanding obama is a weak president who will never stand up to anyone, particularly iran. grab all the griping is good. show as the ukrainians want to show we are top dog in the middle east. we control the persian gulf and the red sea. this is our territory and we are running america doubt. train to stay there, a lot more in a moment. german police have arrested a serious migraines suspected of planning, tax throughout germany.

>> 22-year-old syrian refugee came to germany last year within asylum a number of months after on the german radar, fearing that he was close to committing them sort of an attack. he managed to escape, but they found powerful explosives in his apartment. a two-day manhunt began. what is interesting is how he was captured. i to fellow syrians who took them into their apartment in the last he was the one police were looking for. one tie them up while the other went and said we've got them right here and that's how they caught him. stuart: he originally came in to germany as a migrant. we are still enough said that. hillary clinton at last night debate that america is not holding up his son when it comes to taking and migraines. justification or allowing more and. watch this. >> there are children suffering

in this catastrophic war, largely i believe because of russian aggression. we need to do our part. we by no means they're carrying anywhere near the load factor up another star. stuart: kt mcfarland, i take issue with hillary clinton because she said it's russian aggression. i suspect is the original sin, the creation of isis by leaving a vacuum in iraq. >> isis is doing this. we are not being humanitarian enough. create safe zones of the reason. don't bring them somewhere where they don't speak the language. it's a different culture. they don't have friends and family. keep them in the region and good refugee camps, the rail subsidized housing and education and an isis has run out, those people can return home. train to stay there. a lot more for you.

i keep saying that. the big board shows a solid gain of 144 points for the dow jones industrial average. 143 week as the price of oil is up to $51. back in a moment. i know you're my financial advisor,

but are you gonna bring up that stock again? well you need to think about selling some of it. my dad gave me those shares, you know. he ran that company. i get it. but you know i think you own too much. gotta manage your risk. and you've gotta switch to decaf. an honest opinion, even if you disagree. with 13,000 financial advisors, it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. i'm jamie foxx for verizon.

stuart: we always like to show you how viewers -- voters react to statements from the debate. we call them the dials. we've got another one for you. this one shows real-time your reaction to donald trump addressing the sexist comments he made 11 years ago. this is your reaction to the heart might consider it. republicans in red, democrats and blue, independent and yellow

appeared roll tape. >> i don't think you understood. this is locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i apologize to my family and the american people. certainly i'm not proud of it. but this is locker room talk. when we have a world where you have isis chopping off heads, where you have drowning people in steel cages, where you have wars and horrible, horrible sight all over, where you have so many bad things happening this is like medieval times. stuart: lee carter, did not focus group looked to me like the independents really went with trump, especially when he pivoted away from the apology towards the attack. >> that's right. the pivot was absolutely critical. he did what he needed to do in apologizing and taken responsibility and said he regretted a pretty good move on to the issues that matter most. he said we've got real issues.

as soon as he did that come independents started to get in line within. i think this is a big moment for him. as i was looking through the comments, there were a lot of women whose minds were changed because they said i do believe donald trump is going to make a real difference. i do believe america will be great again. the bottom line is this. they are willing to forgive this one thing if he's able to keep it out. he'll have some real issues. i think she made similar progress. >> that was clear-cut. it worked for independents. this one shows reaction to trump telling hillary that if you were president she would he in jail. republicans read, democrats blew come independents hello. roll tape. >> it is just awfully good that someone with the temperament to donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail.

stuart: off the charts. please, explain. >> off the charts. the real change between what she was saying in the sense that coming up in jail. the thing that is stickiness this idea that she is crooked and that concerns people. donald trump did a good job reminding people why they should be concerned about hillary clinton. stuart: good stuff. thanks for joining us. see you back in new york. donald trump apologize for what he called the locker room talk on tape. pastor robert jeffers is with the sticking with trump. here is my question. how does he explain the locker room talk to his congregation in dallas. we'll ask him. the u.s. government accusing russia of trying to influence america's election. hillary says vladimir putin is working against her. more transfixed in a moment. -- more transfixed "varney" in a

moment. who lives here and flies to hong kong, to visit this company that makes smart phones, used by this vice president, this little kid, oops, and this obstetrician, who works across the street from this man, who creates software. they all have insurance crafted personally for them. not just coverage, craftsmanship. not just insured. chubb insured.

>> so we're going to get a special prosecutor and look into it he can as people have been -- their lives have been destroyed for doing one fifth of what you've done and it's a disgrace. honestly you ought to be ashamed of it. stuart: quieted debate. if you didn't see it all the way through will have all that in a moment. but the tenor financial duty. as i said before many times, monday morning stocks appeared 143 points higher. why are they higher? the price of oil is up about $1.50 of the way up to $51 per barrel. there you have it. next-paragraph comment tribe supporter from the first baptist church in dallas. welcome everyone. harris robert jess. you saw and heard all about the

locker room videotape. he then went out sunday morning and preach to the congregation in dallas. how do you rationalize your christian congregation? >> i was talking about jesus christ and have been. what i am saying about those comments is this. trump's comments were and indefensible but they are still not enough. trump made a point and then start talking about what americans really care about. stuart, the selection is not about donald trump. it's about america's teacher needed a good job of highlighting not last night. he's, he's screwed and it's not behaving very well in his life. precisely the kind of guy you

need to deal with russia and china and iran and everyone else that our throat. when you make make of that argument? >> first of all, i believe sometimes i think that the bigger issue in this is about character. there's people concerned about about donald trumps character. hillary clinton has a superior character. here's one of the deleted 33,000 e-mails to she attacked the women and she is further up the fact that the partial-birth abortion. but can you say hillary clinton possesses greater character than donald trump? stuart: your argument is enough to trump is and what it's all about. you are not prepared to tolerate bad that hillary clinton is so much worse. that is your argument? >> well, it is.

i was just on a conference call with trump's top adviser in this person said look, i was distressed by these comments. i have to do some soul-searching, but i came to the conclusion i'm not going to hand over the future of this nation and especially the supreme court to hillary clinton. conservative christians need to remember what is at stake in this election. stuart: robert jeffers, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: the government has formally accused russia of packing the clinton campaign in an attempt to influence our election. here's what hillary said about it. watch this. >> our intelligence community just came out and said in the last few days that the kremlin, meaning putin and the russian government are directing the attacks, the hacking un-american accounts to influence our election. believe me, they are not doing it to get reelected.

they are doing it to try to influence the election for donald trump. stuart: do you think the russians want donald trump is the president or hillary clinton? >> i don't think the russians care. what they want to do a show as we know how to scramble your election and i think what they are saying is don't mess with our elections because putin thinks we have. he thinks they master the elections in ukraine and the elections in russia. whether we did or didn't, what he's trying to say, hands off of me. i think he's doing the junkyard dog routine and saying back off. stuart: i think putin would not like donald trump. how do you deal with it? >> make a donation to the clinton foundation. that is nasty, cynical stuff. that trump is tough. what putin respects his toughness and what a and what is sad is that we claim to

president is walking all over whether it's in the baltic, black senior middle east. trade to a question that has nothing to do with foreign policy at all. donald trump sleep audio from 11 years ago. all the sexist comments. after that, how many women are what proportion of the women who vote on november 11, what proportion will vote for donald trump? >> i'm not a politician. as the mother of daughters and it had a conversation about this. you get up and you get out and you don't take it. what he said was a reprehensible. i've had a section in the past and i was younger and prettier. donald trump to have guts that he had when the whole world is against him and all the people pulling out to walk out on the debate stage and apologize and am not proud of myself, he did what he had to do. but i admire somebody with the guts to go up there and do what he did. i worked for richard nixon in the white house or in watergate

and i worked for gerry ford when he pardoned nixon and ronald reagan when he had the iran-contra affair. but she wanted the president to someone when the whole world is against them has the guts to go out there and do what he has to do. you why naming junkyard dog on your team because whoever the next president is has to do with the main junkyard dog and vladimir putin and the ayatollahs of iran. stuart: won an election. what a monday morning. thank you very much. let's go to florida. democrats are suing to extend voter registration and extra week because of the destruction from hurricane matthew. >> they are. governor rick scott an election official claiming under the voters right at -- voter rights act, people not registered because offices were closed. the post office was closed because of the storm.

the government says that's ridiculous. they've had plenty of time to register. what is really an issue here is thousands of people likely to vote democrat. that's what it boils down to. statistics show that young, the poor and minority voters tend to lead until the last minute and that is what is at stake. >> it's unclear if the governor has a right to step in and change the law. the second thing in 2012, president of eat that run in florida by 74,000 votes. watch this and that election in the last eight days and 84,000 registered to vote. the last five days 55,000 registered to vote. key to get into the deadline. the feds are pushing back. stuart: pretty soon we'll be talking hanging chads again. i want to drag this whole thing back to your money because first of all we can't stand down has a mother of all problems if you want to put it like that. they are suspending production of the galaxy seven phone.

they stopped production because of its exploding battery problem. the new york stock exchange. i would assume that's good news for apple. >> it is good news for apple. the stock since they started the recall on the galaxy seven is up 80% for apple. that could be the relatively flat since the beginning of september. that's number one. then a report from tech fortune who says the people getting refunds from their burning samsung phone more than 25% of them are considering now going over to the iphone. samsung has phone numbers in a much better retention rate than that. however, tech fortune says otherwise and they are going go to the iphone's. last but not least, the note you will come out eventually. the question is whether they have the reputation in the industry overall. there is a at apple wants eckstein and change. stuart: you shake your head at

the election in the debate and now you're shaking your head at samsung. >> said they were fixing them and they were going on fire again. stuart: appear problem in a hot nicole, thank you indeed. give your sense of of the overall direction here. it is all green are mostly green. the dow was up 147 points. it was sent on negative attacks and last night's debate. reaction to the final question as the candidate complement each other. clinton respects trumps family. trump says hillary is not a quitter and she doesn't give up. that was the end of the whole affair. back in a moment.

>> remember "varney & company" starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern. here's what you missed last hour. just do it, the trenton campaign clo. >> after the debate performance last night i was air campaign is exploding with excitement over an extraordinarily excellent performance. stuart: jeff, are you serious? >> exploding with excitement. after last night that was incredible. i'm happy that she brought up on this day. when she was caught in a lie the e-mail showed she brings up a reference to honest abe in passing a 13 amendment and i'm

glad she did because honestly that could've been one of the greatest republican debate performance isn't honest abe. i spent many years as a nuclear missile launch officer. if the president gave the order we had to launch the missiles, that would be it. i prayed that call would never come. [ radio chatter ] self control may be all that keeps these missiles from firing. [ sirens blearing ] i would bomb the [ beep] out of them. i want to be unpredictable. i love war. the thought of donald trump with nuclear weapons scares me to death. it should scare everyone. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message.

>> my question to both of you is regardless of the current rhetoric, would either of you name one positive thing that you respect one another? >> i respect his children. those children are incredibly able and devoted and i think that says a lot about donald. >> she doesn't quit. she doesn't give up. i respect that. i tell it like it is. she's a fighter. >> does a nice couple of compliments from either side. >> one of the nastiest debates to all time. after donald trump said she's the devil and i would put her in jail and hillary clinton saying she is unfair. it's extraordinary to have it wrapped like that. that's the way to get out of it.

liz: bistro gone industrial. stuart: we will have more bistro gone industrial in just a moment. encouraging results for the one cancer drug extends life 10 months. the quality of life of nicely on 2%. donald trump wants to abolish carried interest. carried interest is the tax rules that allows people like hedge fund managers to pay a lot lower tax rate than ordinary people. paul tape. >> i get rid of carried interest. people like me to be honest cap up a lot when i run because i knock out the tax code. she'd had done this years ago. she was the united a senator. >> one of mr. trumps economic advisers who finished a starbucks right there. >> a long night last night,

stuart. stuart: with donald trump a biologist this carried interest, the hedge fund manager, they pay a lot more in tax. you are one of those guys who said we don't want any tax increase and yet you're in favor of death from donald trump? >> look, the broader framework on what he has endorsed as the old reagan idea of putting the tax rates down and broaden the base so everyone is paying their fair share in getting rid of loopholes. hillary said i'm going to raise the tax rate on these rich people. if they have all these loopholes, they are going to still pay zero. stuart: that's different story. that does carry forward and not did not -- a loophole. >> there aren't a lot of loopholes in this time.

that should probably be taxed at ordinary income not at a lower tax rate. ruler from 40% to 33%. i think that's probably a fair thing. an economic winner. composite doubled down on repeating up on my chair. he says it's too expensive. the mainstream media fact checking him on that they say he is exaggerating. "the los angeles times" this morning. health care costs under obamacare are not going up by numbers that are astronomical. sort through this smarmy will you, steve? >> as consumers. women at the kitchen table have to pay the insurance bill every month. in virginia are costs are up 15%

to 20% this year. some states are up 40, 50, 60%. ask people if you think they are saving money, $250 that was the famous promise. costs are going up. i do believe astronomically. when he got 25%, 30% increase in premiums and adaptable as for american families that is astronomical. at the same time insurance companies dropping out companies dropping out so you have less competition. by allowing people to buy insurance across state lines, you're increasing dramatically the amount of competition insurance companies have to deal with. in the first debate to what obamacare never came out. >> he hammered her hard on not. obamacare is collapsing and that 50-cent proper word to use. thanks for joining us. you've got a long day ahead of you.

holding a conference call next hour all about whether they would stand behind donald trump. we are monitoring that for any news that chris collins come in the first republican in congress to backstrom says he's not wavering. roll tape. >> are you still with him? >> absolutely, stuart. night support has never wavered. as disappointed as something he's sad you have been years ago, but the binary choice america faces a future, affecting the next four years of barack obama. if hillary clinton were to win the supreme court braced his donald stuart: change agents is going to bring about the change we need to get the economy moving, secure borders and make sure we defeat isis and stand up to vladimir putin. donald trump did an exceptional job last night taking perhaps some of the feed from mike pence of his debate and shrugging off

some of the attacks that hillary made and went right back at her. i love the abe lincoln comment talking about abraham lincoln. you are a liar. he took her right to her. stuart: i've spoken to a lot of people before and after the debate. many of the women that i've spoken to say about, that is said. i don't want someone who talks like that and you did that and posts like that in the oval office. you've got to be worried about the level of support that trump is going to get from women. if he doesn't get 40% of the women's vote, he loses. >> women want a safe america. something we don't have because of decisions, bad decisions hillary clinton and barack obama made.

stuart: the republican party is about to hold a conference call. they have to decide how much

support, if any, the party will give to donald trump. after the release of that lewd videotape and his debate performance last night. republicans are in a very tight spot. be they dump trump, they abandon the presidency to hillary clinton, surely. if they maintain their support for him, they run the risk that the backlash against him rubs off on republican candidates for the house and senate. trump himself is angry at those republicans who on saturday morning were running away from his candidacy. he demands their support. the democrats have no such division. they remain united behind their candidate, thiess in public finish at least in public, even though she has taken $100 million from wall street, she is privately in favor of open trade and open borders and she has a history of scandal, democrats lack enthusiasm more her, but the party -- for her, but the party is behind her. so the state of play is this: trump came back last night from the brink of collapse. hillary failed to deliver a knockout blow.

trump seized his opportunity, hillary missed hers. and right now republicans are figuring out exactly what they're going to do. we expect breaking news on that as the third hour of "varney & company" rolls on. ♪ ♪ >> i said starting back in june that he was not fit to be president and commander in chief. and many republicans and independents have said the same thing. i know you're into big biggie version tonight, thinking to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it's imploding. stuart: several high profile republicans have withdrawn their southern from trump. the list includes several senators including john mccain along with a variety of

congressmen, jason chaffetz be, mia love, ohio governor john kasich, former or secretary of state condoleezza rice. ashley, this conference call is really going to decide how the establishment republican party responds to trump, the video and the debate. >> yeah, it's really interesting. prior to the debate, i think they were all bailing en masse, at least, you know, paul ryan wouldn't appear with him at an event on saturday. how much has the debate performance given them the confidence to say, okay, again we absolutely disavow all of the statements he made many that horrible tape; however, we still as the republican nominee back him. there will be those who say they can't do it anymore because they have their own political future to consider. i don't know, i think the debate probably may have saved him, i've got to be honest with you. stuart: stopped the -- >> i think he stabilized it. stuart: okay, stabilized it. >> he did reach deep down inside and pull it out. he had guts to do what he did,

even though a lot of voters are saying, you know, we don't want our children talking like that or hearing that. stuart: i think our next two guests are saying what you're saying. >> yes. stuart: let's get into it. our next guest says trump performed well last night, well enough to keep the establishment republican party in his camp for now. come on in, byron york, washington examiner chief political correspondent. your verdict is he stopped the rot, he did well enough to bring the republican party back to him, is that your case? >> it is. i mean, you have to consider where trump was 36 hours ago. you know, friday night the video comes out. there's an 8 or 10-hour part of saturday in which republicans are leaving him. you didn't mention john thune, the number three ranking republican in the senate, cracks in leadership support of donald trump. things are looking pretty dire for trump. but some republicans are saying, well, let's wait and see how he does in this debate. and be i think he probably reassured them or if he didn't

reassure them, he shored up his support among their voters that will make them afraid to jump ship from donald trump. stuart: now, what about the repeated suggestion that there is more to come? and that if there is more to come, it would be timed very badly for donald trump, like right before the next debate or right before the election. how does the republican party respond to this unknown threat in the future? >> well, it's just an unknown. i mean, i have no special knowledge, but i think the history of donald trump would suggest that there's more out there, that something is going to come out, and we know that democrats have a very, very effective operation research operation, so i think -- opposition research operation, so i think republicans are going to have to assume there's something out will. i think what trump did last night in the debate is keep the group together, keep the ship afloat for the moment, and if there is some big, new revelation in the future, of course, they're all going to

recalibrate after that. remember, you have on this conference call today you have republicans from districts that were very heavily pro-trump. they're not going to dive. and then you have, you mentioned jason chaffetz and mia love, you have lu makers from utah -- lawmakers from utah. trump is not popular in utah, so it's pretty safe for them to do what they did. republicans are going to be very divided over what to do personally about trump. stuart: okay. byron york says he stopped the rot, that's the bottom line of your analysis. good stuff, byron, thanks very much for joining us. now, the consensus going into last night even before the trump tapes came out was that donald trump needed to pivot during last night's second debate. our next guest says that's exactly what he did and saved his candidacy in the process. that's strong stuff. former clinton pollster is the man who actually says it. his name is doug schoen. welcome back. >> thank you, stuart. [laughter]

stuart: why are you so happy? >> anytime i am, anytime i am with you, the race remains contentious, and my candidate -- the secretary of state -- is ahead, and i dare say well ahead. i'm a happy guy. stuart: okay. but donald trump went on the attack last night. >> he did. stuart: he apologized quite profusely, i think -- >> yes, he did. stuart: and then he went straight on the attack and merv stopped. you think that was a successful and good tactic. >> right. i think it was successful, good but limited because it didn't change the dynamic of a race that i think still works heavily for the secretary of state. if only because of her lead with key demographic groups in key swing states. stuart: what do you think about that idea of putting bill clinton's women into a pseudo-news conference beforehand and then having them sit on the front row? that's pretty extraordinary stuff. >> yeah. let me say it's not something i

would have recommended or suggested, but it did work -- stuart: it did. >> -- it did achieve the purpose, and i think that for now trump has stabilized. but what byron york said and what you've been saying is can he go beyond this and broaden his constituency, is the question whether he can actually win the election or come close. stuart: okay. now listen to this -- >> yep. stuart: leaked e-mail from hillary clinton, and it's a a slam. some people say that this is a racial slam. here's the direct quote. the main reason behind successful immigration should be painfully obvious. some groups are highly or almost always highly successful. example, jews, hindus, sikhs and chinese, while others -- examples, muslims, blacks and roma -- fare badly almost irrespective of circumstances. now, that's from hillary clinton. it's a leaked e-mail.

be a republican said anything like that, they would be branded as racist, would they not? >> well, donald trump was branded for being racist both last height and much earlier for his -- last night and much earlier for his comments about muslims and extreme vetting and blocking all muslim immigration. so, yes, a republican would be called racist for making the kind of comment -- stuart: i mean, is that a racist statement from a democrat? >> i don't think so. i think it's a characterization -- stuart: but you're not allowed to do that. you may not ascribe certain qualities to groups of people. you can't do that. >> if you ask me for a choice between ascribing traits to groups and saying what trump did in the context of winning an election, stuart, what the secretary did is less offensive. stuart: okay. >> we'll see on election day, won't we? stuart: yes, we will. you're pretty confident of hillary winning. >> pretty confident now. look, we've got one more debate. this race, as ashley suggested, has changed so dynamically in 36 hours.

as confident as i am of myself, we could see something change within another 48 or 72 hours that makes this conversation old news. [laughter] stuart: you've got to watch a news program like this -- >> precisely. [laughter] especially "varney & company." stuart: oh, you're all right. you've regained my confidence. >> exactly. thank you very much. stuart: good stuff. now, look, we're a financial program, so check the financial situation of the day. it's monday morning, and we've come straight up on the stock market. 141 points higher, 18,3 is where we are. why is that? in part, in large part because of this. the price of oil is up nearly 3% at $51.25. russia's putin spoke be at an energy conference many istanbul. he says he's ready to join in common efforts to limit oil production. [laughter] >> because his economy's in tatters, that's why. stuart: very true. up goes oil to, up goes stocks. how about that? how about twitter? more reports the company didn't get any buy outbids.

that's not good news. what do you do with this thing now? it's down to $17. alibaba, china's amazon, teaming up with stephen spielberg to make movies for chinese audiences. up nearly 2. some of the -- 2%. some of the big tech names, look at this, amazon, 843, almost 844 this morning. how about facebook? is it back at 130 yet? the answer is, it's very close, yes. moments ago it cracked above $130 a share, it's up 1%, $1.38. two stories overshadowed by the debate. first, sunday night football -- [laughter] i wonder what the ratings were for this? i have to wonder. giants/packers, green bay's aaron rodgers two touchdown passes, packers win 22-16. and also overshadowed, the extraordinary damage from hurricane matthew. you're looking at north carolina, 700 people had to be rescued from the flooding.

>> wow, look at that. stuart: the death toll now at 21 in the united states from matthew's wind, rain and flooding. we have much more on the debate for you. donald trump calling out the moderators last night, criticizing them for interrupting. he says -- look, it's three on one. watch this. >> i'd like to know, anderson, why aren't you bringing up the e-mails? i'd like to know -- >> we brought up the e-mails. >> no, it hasn't, and it hasn't been finished all. >> ken has a question. >> nice to -- one on three. this woman owns this house, with new cabinets from this shop, with handles designed here, made here, shipped from here, on this plane flown by this pilot, who owns stock in this company,

that builds big things and provides benefits to this woman, with new cabinets. they all have insurance crafted personally for them. not just coverage, craftsmanship. not just insured. chubb insured.

>> i'd like to know, anderson, why aren't you bringing up the e-mails? i'd like to know -- >> we brought up the e-mails. >> no, it hasn't. and it hasn't been finished at all. >> ken has a question. >>t's nice to -- one on three. hillary clinton wants to allow -- >> and why did it morph into that? no, did you -- no, answer the question. >> [inaudible] >> i do. >> you interrupt me all the

time -- >> you've said a lot of things, i think -- >> no. mr. trump, we're going to go on. >> medicaid -- >> thank you, mr. trump. >> why do they have to say we're going to be attacking mosul within the next four to six weeks which is what they're saying? how stupid is our country? >> there are sometimes reasons the military does that. psychological or warfare -- >> i can't think of any. stuart: that did seem like martha raddatz was debating donald trump, and they -- both of them seemed particularly harsh on trump, and he called them out on it, as you saw. he said the debate was, basically, three on one. brent bozell, very popular guy on this program, and he's back. all right, brent, if it's anderson cooper cnn and martha raddatz, abc, i would expect -- you predicted that kind of moderator slant, if i can put it like that. >> yeah. here we go again. it was, like the vice presidential debate where the

republican was consistently challenged on his position while the democrat was given a free pass. anderson cooper challenged donald trump three times in one question, would not accept donald trump's answer. martha raddatz, i think, went a step further. she showed utter contempt for donald trump on a national stage. she dismissed his answers. she even argued with him about his answers. she actually entered into the debate candy crowley style. so i don't blame donald trump at all for saying it was a one on three debate. stuart: what do you make of the timing of nbc's release of that videotape of the locker room talk right before the second debate, and what do you make of the timing, the likely timing of other material which might still come out yet? >> it, it's an insult to the intelligence to suggest that they just found this. this is october surprise time.

and this won't be the last one. there will be more that will come out of it. and for them to say they just came across this when this has been in the record, when they've had access to it from the very beginning really is an insulting statement. no. they've had it, they did it deliberately, the timing was deliberate, and this is -- by the way, i expected this was going to happen, and i'm telling you more will come out. stuart: i really object to people like julian assange, vladimir putin and/or nbc interjecting into this election of ours. i really object to this, but i don't know what i can do about it. >> well, if you're going to object, let's object this way. we did a little bit of analysis. what is more important, whatever donald trump said -- which is disgusting -- or the allegation, the eminently believable allegation that bill clinton raped juanita broaddrick, and hillary clinton subsequently threatened juanita broaddrick? you cannot argue donald trump is

more important, yet in 17 years you did not get as much coverage of juanita broaddrick as you got on donald trump in 48 hours. here's another number you're going to like this one. 103 minutes given about donald trump this wkend. how much time was given to paula jones when she filed a lawsuit that said that the president of the united states took his pants down in front of her and told her to kiss it? 103 minutes on donald trump, 16 seconds, paula jones. stuart: i think that tells a story. brent bozell, no wonder you're popular on this program. thank you very much, indeed, brent. we will see you again real soon. there's a lot to go at for another four weeks, after all. thank you, brent. check tesla. let's get to the financial markets, please. tesla, elon musk tweets that the company doesn't need to raise money this year, there's a big announcement coming october 17th. won't say what it is, but that's enough to put the stock back

above $200 a share. sign of economic times? maybe. seven of ten people in america have less than $1,000 in cash savings. more on that in this hour. and donald trump slammed hillary clinton on the e-mail scandal. after the break, we'll show you the video we've uncovered. it's an interview from hillary's running mate, and it's not good for her. >> if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> secretary clinton -- [cheers and applause] you can run an errand. (music playing) ♪ push it real good... (announcer vo) or you can take a joyride.

bye bye, errands, we sing out loud here. siriusxm. road happy.

(announcer vo) you can sit in traffic. or you can crack up. (man on radio) but if it isn't refreshing... (announcer vo) sorry traffic, we laugh 'til it hurts. siriusxm. road happy.

>> look, it's just not true, and so, please, go -- >> oh, you didn't delete them? >> allow her to respond, please -- >> personal e-mails -- >> over 33,000? >> well, we turned over 35,000. >> oh, yeah, what about the other -- >> please allow her to respond. she didn't talk while you talked. >> yes, that's true, i didn't -- >> because you have nothing to say. >> i'm going to try not to in this debate because i'd like to get to the questions that the people have brought here tonight to talk to us about --

>> and get off this question. stuart: precisely, mr. trump. anderson cooper just got hillary clinton off the e-mail hook right there. now, as you heard, donald trump brought up the e-mail scandal at the debate. he says he'll appoint a special prosecutor to the case if he becomes president. it seems clinton's vice presidential choice, tim kaine, also has some issues with the e-mail scandal. watch this. >> let's talk about the first amendment for a second. freedom of speech. we believe it, you're a journalist, but you can't libel or slander shall be wio consequence. i can't take classified information i get as a senator and give it to somebody with no consequence. stuart: i can't take classified information -- >> okay. stuart: and give it to somebody else. now, he said that a month before he became vice presidential candidate. >> right. and it came up as a non sequitur. it was such an odd non sequitur to be agreeing with republicans, and it came a week before fbi director james comey said, yes, hillary clinton and her team were extremely careless in how

they handled highly classified information. >> i think he just spoke his mind and afterwards realized, oops. i really do. i think he was speaking his mind and just highlighting how hillary clinton made a terrible, horrible, you know -- >> yeah. and it came out of no where. it came out of nowhere, right? >> i think he'd like to go back and erase that comment. >> yes. stuart: i want to get to the migrant crisis in europe. a 22-year-old syrian refugee arrested in germany. he has alleged ties to isis, and he had a plot to blow up an airport. we've got details for you.sten o addressed the migrant issue last night. watch this. >> people are coming into our country like we have no idea who they are, where they're from, what their feelings about our country is, and she wants 550% more. this is going to be the great trojan horse of all time.

stuart: i've got breaking news for you of real importance for the relationship between the republican party and donald trump. as you may recall, they are right now -- they maybe just finished -- a conference call among gop leaders. fox news reports that house speaker paul ryan will not

campaign with trump or defend him. ryan says he'll spend the next four weeks focusing on house races. now, we also have majority leader kevin mccarthy. he telling them, house members, focus on your own races. seems to me that the republican party is trying to keep its distance from donald trump after the release of that locker room videotape early -- late friday and into saturday morning. the republicans appear to be keeping their distance from donald trump. now, let's go back to last night in the debate. he spoke about syrian immigration, syrians coming to the united states as high grants. he says -- as migrants. he says letting so many in is like a trojan horse, okay? now, this morning in europe german authorities have arrested a syrian man planning on planting a massive bomb at an airport. he was a migrant who came into germany at the invitation of angela merkel. pete hegseth in the arena author and is army veteran is with us now.

this seems like morning the german example a typical example of what donald trump was really talking about with the trojan horse comment from last night. it's a natural follow, isn't it? >> very much so, institute. you know, one -- stuart. one line summed up, i believe, his extreme vetting position, his pause of refugees from certain parts of country. he said we know nothing about their love for our country. see, for donald trump it's not enough that you physically occupy the space of a country, it's that you love that country. do you love america, do you have an allegiance to this country. he's worried when you let in too many refugees fleeing a war zone and in germany angela merkel has already said she regrets bringing in so many, that is what he's talking about. it's not about race, it's about allegiance. it's about an understanding that at wartime, you need american citizens committed to this country. and we've seen too many times in our country, in america, when muslim families have not blown the whistle and instead attack

has happened. stuart: i wish ited had played a more prominent role last night, because i think it's one of the most significant features of american life now and in the future. how many migrants from north africa, muslim migrants are we going to let in, and how many christian migrants are we going to let many? i really think it's a major issue which didn't receive the attention it should. >> it got some attention, and donald trump handled it very, very nicely, especially in contrast to the wikileaks with hillary clinton who said to us i want a world of open borders. she admitted exactly what her policies effectively are. donald trump said we are at war, it's called radical islamic terrorism. they want to use refugees as a trojan horse to infiltrate our country. we've already seen examples of people, of muslims in this country unfortunately not having enough allegiance to call out terrorists, and as a result we're less safe. the contrast couldn't be clearer, and the left can't get past the muslim ban, right? so he talked about extreme vetting and says i just want

them to love our country, put their hand over their heart and say i'm an american. that's not too much to ask today, stuart. stuart: i don't want to catch you off guard, but it's just breaking now, the conference call among gop leaders. the news is that paul ryan, speaker of the house to, he will not campaign with donald trump, and he's advising house members take care of your own races. seems to me that the establishment is retreating further from trump, keeping their distance. and i wonder what you've got to say about that. >> it's disappointing to me, stuart, it really is. no one supports or condones the comments that were on that tape from 11 years ago. that's indefensible. but it doesn't mean you can't separate words from actions as donald trump said last night and the huge disconnect between a hillary clinton presidency and a donald trump presidency, the supreme court, all the issues we mow that matter, borderless world versus vetting of refugees, it's all at stake. that is not a good thing, and i

think the better donald trump does, the better the down ticket does especially in places like minnesota. there's a couple of congressional races that hinge on donald trump's success. it's not that he's universally unhelpful in a lot of these districts, so i'm discouraged to see it. hopefully, donald trump does so well that ryan regrets it. stuart: pete hegseth, we appreciate it, and we'll see you back in new york real soon, i trust. our next guest was a longtime adviser in the clinton administration. since then he's switched sides. he is now a republican adviser and trump supporter. oliver mcgee is with us. all right. first of all, are you still with trump after the locker room tape and the debate last night? >> well, thank you for having me today, stuart. this election is all about principles, not necessarily personalities. as i was listening to your feed straight up into this session.

, all the personalities have to be on their own year. but right now all have to be united on american principles. so my book says go with your heart and your mind and be independent in your voice as you go into the voting booth alone. that's a constitutional right, and that's a privacy moment for each american voter -- stuart: very true, sir, very true. now, wait a minute, you were in the first clinton administration or in the 1990s, you were part of that administration. now, whamakes you turn towards trump and the republicans a few years later? what point of principle made you switch? >> well, i think that most americans are looking at authenticity right now. with the clinton administration -- with hillary clinton going through the fbi flat and also donald going through an escapade this weekend, we're all confused. we're all dizzy as we were

watching the debates yesterday. we're on top of the big top, and it's going very, very fast. so like myself, we're all basically jumping the aisle. right now it's either left or right, merchandise or outside, up or -- inside or outside, up or down. and we will find the end of this big top that we're on inside the voting booth on election day. but i do believe that we're going to see a surprise. we're going to see 44 million americans who voted for donald trump, and they're going to basically wake up the next morning and completely deny they did. this is a silent majority. this is a very, very quiet vote. you're not seeing yard signs right now. everyone is keeping their decision making very, very private. and that's what jumping the aisle is all about. it's about the three r, revolution, reorganizing and renewing. and as we go forward and move past the personalities and on to the principles of this year, as we go to our future on getting to 2076, america's third centennial which i write in my book, we're going to be revolutionizing, renewing america, and we're going to be

looking at capital, technology and competition and see how we're going to change and reorganize america for that. and that's what we're trying to get to now, the issues instead of just the personal the cities. stuart: yeah, really. please. by the way, you're right about the yard signs. i was driving around suburban new jersey yesterday -- >> nothing. stuart: i saw one hillary sign and two trump signs. oliver, i'm sorry i'm out of time. love your book. we'll see you again soon. thank you for join us. >> love you too, stu. stuart: let's not get carried away. [laughter] this is from the latest wikileaks dump of e-mails from hillary's campaign manager, john podesta. now, what do they say? bernie sanders -- >> this is a big liberal commentator, writer talking, sending it to john to to december that, hillary's campaign manager. john podesta. beyond this hillary should stop attacking bernie, we got the right one up there, especially when she says things that are

untrue which, can didly, she often does. i am one of people with credibility to suggest bernie people support her in november, and she and others have no idea the damage she does to herself with these attacks which she does not gain by making. now, there's another one that goes on, it's very interesting too. picking out of this e-mail, he goes on to say right now i am petrified that hillary is almost totally dependent on republicans nominating trump. she has huge endemic political weaknesses that she should be wise to rectify. even a clown like ted cruz would be an even money bet to beat, and this scares the hell out of me. john: written by john podesta? >> no, written to john podesta saying hillary needs to get her house in order, stop concentrating on trump and getting her weaknesses shored up and support, basically, dovetailing issues. he goes on to say the best thing

she can do is jump onboard bernie sanders' free public college proposal. that's a winner. stuart: you know what i really hate here? the idea that a guy like assange can just -- >> yeah, i know. stuart: -- release all this private, personal stuff -- >> and enjoying it. stuart: and enjoying it. and he's wanted for questioning on a sexual charge in sweden. in this guy -- this guy is affecting all of us with his nasty little leaks. dear me. i've said enough. check the big board be, up 123 points, and most of the dow 30 stocks are in the green. and donald trump taking on bill clinton's past bigtime. he held a press conference for women who have accused bill of sexual assault. that was before the debate last night. look at that. california's larry elder on that next. >> if you look at bill clinton, far worse. mine are words, his was action.

his was what he's done to women. there's never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women. so you can say any way you want to say it, but bill clinton was abusive to women. i've invested a lot in this game and the returns i get out are measured in reps, huddles,bright lights, competition and games played. at td ameritrade we believe the best investments are the ones that matter most to you.

>> i'm nicole petallides with your fox business brief. the dow lost one-third of 1% last week.

today though we start off with some up arrows. the dow up almost 130 points, all ten sectors do have up arrows, so we do have some optimism as energy, health care and materials are leading the way. take a look at some of the names driving the dow, boeing and merck, for example, as well as exxon, apple doing well. apple a lot of talk that they are benefiting from samsung and the latest trouble they've been having with their phones, and merck's got positive data on treating lung cancer patients. keeping a keen eye on the travel stocks, as we know, thousands of airlines were canceled last week after hurricane matthew, today bouncing back. united and continental in particular working with the red cross. some of the names in the insurance industry that are correlated with florida d the south as we still have many stranded and without power and the like, you see some mixed bag but mostly up arrows this. eal g♪ (announcer vo) or you can take a joyride. bye bye, errands, we sing out loud here.

(announcer vo) you can go straight home. (howard stern on radio) welcome to show business.. (announcer vo) or you can hear the rest of howard. bababooey! (announcer vo) sorry, confused neighbors, howard's on. siriusxm. road happy. >> if you look at bill clinton, far worse. mine are words and his was action. his was what he's done to women, this is never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women. and attacked them viciously. four of them are here tonight. one of the women, who is a wonderful woman, at 12 years old was raped at 12. her client, she represented, got him off, and she's seen laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl who was raped.

kathy shelton, that young woman, is here with us tonight. but what president clinton did, he was impeached, he lost his license to practice law, he had to pay an $850,000 fine to one of the women, paula jones who's also here tonight. stuart: well, as you heard, trump brought up clinton's past last night, bill clinton's past. how the news conference with the women who'd accused bill clinton of sexual assault, that was right before the debate. larry elder, frequent guest on the program, he had to say about it, and this was before the debate. bill has been plausibly accused of three rapes. hillary's been credibly accused of intimidating accusers, including a rape survivor. larry elder, salem radio nationally sindhuated talk show -- syndicates talk show host, come on in. so you think his putting of those women on the front row, the news conference beforehand, you think that was a fine and

tandy tactic, and it worked well. do you think that? >> i absolutely do. remember, the reason he did this is because of the revelations of the trump tapes. those things came out where donald trump was engaged in what he called locker room banter, indefensible stuff, on that bus for access hollywood. that made this issue front and center, and that gave trump an opportunity to bring it out without appearing to have reached for it. he should have brought it up all along, because this whole campaign hasn't been about the issues. hillary can't run on the economy, on foreign policy, she's got to run on donald trump is a bad character, not fit to hold office. as a result, his character -- and, therefore, her character -- is center stage. the fact is there have been three cred call allegations made -- credible allegations made about bill clinton. what's important about the book no one left to lie to is that the forward was made by a guy named douglas brinkly, a respected historian, and and why it's being ignored is beyond me.

stuart: i just feel that republicans are sometimes afraid of going after presidential candidates. john mccain would not go after barack obama for the rev remembered wright stuff -- reverend wright stuff, and mitt romney would not go after president obama for benghazi. sometimes they're afraid. but trump is -- he jumped right into it. >> well, one of my friends, thomas sowell, says republicans are running for the hills. obviously, jeremiah wright was a legitimate campaign issue, and when it was brought up, hillary started losing primaries. clearly, the republicans have a legitimate issue here. hillary clinton has been cred write are accused of -- credibly accused of intimidating an alleged rape survivor, juanita broaddrick. she has never been asked that question about this by a reporter, not one time. imagine if a similar allegation had been made against donald trump. i dare say it would have come up once or twice. it's unbelievable the pass that they get. stuart: you've got to it right, larry.

listen to this, a leaked e-mail from hillary clinton slamming people on a race base. listen to for a second. >> right. stuart: it's a direct quote. the main reason behind successful immigration should be painfully obvious to. some groups are almost always highly successful. example, jews, hindus, sikhs and chinese, while others -- examples, muslims, blacks and roma, as in gypsies, fare badly almost irrespective of circumstances. if a republican had put down anything like that, they would be branded immediately, you are a racist. >> absolutely. where's jesse jackson? where's al sharpton? wrote's the congressional black -- where's the congressional black caucus? and by the way, that was an e-mail sent from john podesta, one of her top aides and campaign spokespersons. it would have been deemed to be racist. one comment about the other topic. the democratic icons are jack kennedy, ted kennedy, bobby

kennedy, three men who are serial philanderers, and their reputation has not suffered one iota ever since revelations have been coming out about how they behaved. jack kennedy had hookers in the white house, and he's beloved by the democrats. bill clinton is beloved by democrats, but donald trump has made some locker room banter and, therefore, he's not equipped to become president? double standard and hypocrisy. you can cut it with a knife. stuart: you're a talk show host on radio, southern california. >> right. stuart: goes out nationally, aye got it. you're surely goto get a lot of calls from women who say, look, this is beyond the pale. i don't want someone who talks like that and does things like that in the white house. i do think that this will hurt donald trump among women. won't it? >> i think it will, but, stuart, a whole lot of people don't even know who washington knee a that broderick is -- juanita broaddrick is. the her name came up, and a very high-level staffer in new york

said who's juanita broaddrick? these young millennials don't know who she is. they don't know that hillary represented a man who hillary knew raped a 12-year-old, got him off on a technicality and laughed about it when talking to a newspaper reporter. donald trump has because it up, and hillary can no longer avoid questions about it from the media. stuart: i've got a buck says larry elder's show will bring it all up right out front. [laughter] >> it may come up. stuart: yeah, right. larry, thanks for joining us. we appreciate it, sir. >> my pleasure. stuart: how about this? i'm going to call this maybe a sign of the economic times. seven of ten people in america have less than $1,000 in cash as in cash savings. who would have thought? back in a moment.

stuart: i've got new numbers for you. what do they tell about america? 69% of us have less than $1,000 in cash savings. >> right. stuart: now, you broke this down earlier -- >> yeah. stuart: -- and showed us the savings of people who earn $100-$150,000. >> yes, those that make between 900-150,000 a year, 44% of those people have less than a thousand bucks easily available if their

savings account. stuart: 44%? >> 44%. it's still 29%, almost one in three over 150,000 don't have it. overall, the savings rate in the united states is 5.7%. you go, well, that's not bad. it's not great. it used to be 50 years a 12%, and all the financial experts will tell you, you must try and save between 10-15% of your annual salary -- stuart: japan has a high savings rate, germany is. >> of all the developed nations around the world, the u.s. is almost at the bottom for the rate of savings. stuart: see -- >> who do you blame? stuart: well, do we blame the current state of the economy, or there something about american culture, the consumer culture which says you've got to -- >> yeah, i think it's the spending culture. i think it's that. the supermarket checkout line has impulse buys. that's what amazon has basically put on technology. ooh, i like that, click it. people are just getting happy

getting christmas boxes in the mail every day. stuart: but it is that easy. >> yes. >> it is easy. quick and done. stuart: there's something good about that. >> yes. and it's why your savings are at a thousand. kidding. stuart: i've got to get back to this. paul ryan, he says he's not going to campaign for donald trump. now, this came out of this conference call that they ran this morning. the republican leadership got together. how much support for donald trump are we going to give and how much are we going to take away, and paul ryan comes out and says he's not going to campaign with or for donald trump. >> he's going to focus -- sorry, focus on the house races. >> yeah, that's right. donald trump is so toxic that it could very well, you know, imperil the republicans' majority in the house. so that to's keeping your distance -- that's keeping your distance and then some message to donald trump. stuart: they will be accused of torpedoing donald trump's campaign, and they in turn will say, well, it's your fault, donald. you shouldn't have said what you said on tape -- >> we are in the middle of history right now. stuart: we really are.

i mean, the result of that conference call was not "kumbaya", the result was division -- >> but less than 24 hours ago the big story was does many pence take over for mr. trump, do we dump trump -- stuart: too. >> now we awe'll look after the house. stuart: pence will campaign with him. he's still with him. there's going to be an awful lot of trump people will say you establishment republicans are a bunch of traitors. >> no spine. >> d.c. elites. stuart: i could go on, but i won't.
