today and tomorrow and what are you going to do for the people? >> our viewers should go to the town hall and ask the question. you can watch the second presidential debate right here on the fox news channel followed by complete coverage and analysis. >> "fox & friends" back here later. good morning to you and your family. it's sunday, october 9th. a 12-hour standoff coming to an end after the suspect shot and killed two officers. there are the officers right there. the lady on the right, she's a mother. the guy on the left, he was a father of eight. another officer is in the hospital at this hour. how this tragedy all unfolded, brian. good morning, steve. >> daonald trump says he will never drop out. what do his supporters think? look at this.

fifth avenue, new york city late yesterday. people coming out in droves. what about the rest of the grand old party and how will that shape tonight's mega debate? we'll talk about that. >> hope we can squeeze that talking point in. hillary clinton is staying silent on the latest wikileaks but e-mails show a very different hillary in public than in private. stunner. let me just remind you, it's sunday, you didn't oversleep. mornings are better with friends. ♪

>> one, two. three, four. one, two. three, four. one two. three, four. >> we are live at wash u in the hearts of st. louis, missouri, for the second presidential debate. hi, everybody. i'm steve doocy along with the bear and a few cheerleaders and in new york city, only two people. >> we took attendance. you're missing. at least you turned up. and you're putting up with all the, a little bit of mist in the air? >> little on the chilly side. i'm from kansas and this is

missouri and we're tough out here. >> steve, i think we probably were going to have about 75 million watch, which is pretty good ratings. i think what has happened over the last few days. i think over 100 million people will be watching tonight as for the big debate. >> i agree with you. the most watched debate. i haven't thought about that. you're absolutely right. when you see the cheerleaders and one of us missing from the curvy couch. you know what it is. debate night. hillary clinton, we're all going to be watching tonight. steve is there live to give us all the low down. >> who's for hillary? who's covering donald trump? >> i bet you want me to fill you in. we have john roberts right here live along with mike emmanuel. and usually it says in the prompter who should go first. i think this is a no-brainer, mike. you're covering hillary, but, actually, john, it's all about trump. >> can i ask you this question.

when it's all about news, when is it not about donald trump? they released that videotape and the audio recording from 2005 which resulted in this incredible reaction from members of the republican party. even malania trump saying she did not like what he said but she's willing to forgive and it's time to move on. yesterday donald trump took the impression, i've been out in front of trump towers so many days and he never comes out front. yesterday he had to do some debate prep at trump towers. there he is with the secret service entourage out on fifth avenue right out on in front of trump tower. all this talk about whether or not he would drop out of the race and so many calls from so many republicans and listen to

rudy giuliani who spent the day in debate prep said about all that yesterday. >> there is nothing going to cause something to happen. that day wishful thinking of the clinton campaign. and those people who have opposed him for a long time. >> so, for most of the last couple of days donald trump has been engaged in debate prep at trump tower along with giuliani and chris christie. this was wildly seen as getting him used to the town hall format, which he hasn't done a lot of. chris christie is the master of the town hall. they thought he would be a good person to bring in. body language and how to pivot to a different answer. but all bets are off as to how this thing is going to go tonight because will the first question utoout of the box be at this recording from 2005. >> if it's not, donald trump

will turn it around. >> the strategy that they're employing yesterday afternoon and today is denounce his remarks but then say we forgive him and it's time to move on. that's certainly what members of his campaign are doing and so many other people, including condoleezza rice. enough exclamation points, time for him to go. >> that's the republican half of the story. hillary clinton we haven't seen much of her. i bet she was at the hotel you were standing out in front of yesterday. >> doing eight hours of prep and her campaign don't want to get in the way of the fallout of the donald trump controversy. they're saving her reaction for tonight on the big stage with the huge audience watching. they want it to be fresh and make news. they kept her out of the spotlight. eight hours at that hotel yesterday and going through the books and the mock debates and especially setting up for tonight and dealing with the fallout of more leaked e-mails from wikileaks saying some

things about clinton that, you know, perhaps she didn't want out there in the public. talking about it's important to have two different positions. a public position and private position on things like the banks and suggesting that wall street would be best reformed by wall street insiders and that will make bernie sanders and his supporters crazy. also talking about open borders. her campaign is not confirming the authenticity of these e-mails. not denying he was hacked and this stuff was stolen. reaction to donald trump's latest controversy and reaction tonight from the latest from wikileaks about whether she's saying certain things to the banks behind closed doors. >> that's one of the things that donald trump has been practicing yesterday. yesterday they put out ten things hillary clinton didn't want to have revealed. plus, donald trump will talk about that a lot, as well. >> welcome to st. louis.

>> good to be with you. >> as you know, yesterday, trump towers pretty close to us. when donald trump came out the frupt do front door for the first time in a long time, it was clear he had supporters behind him. this is the deal. >> you have to listen to it. >> we're just trying to gain from it. feel, you know, that we should be all together. we're all for the same thing, you know. stopping isis and closing our borders and getting rid of our debt. >> i understand what they were doing. it is pretty awful. that was 11 years ago and i think they should go behind trump and stand behind him. >> it's bad for the republican party and they should really be standing behind trump right now. >> those three women we saw right there were at the paul ryan event yesterday up in wisconsin. the correspondent out in the field asked them, okay, donald trump, you know, he said those things. what do you think, should he

drop out? actually, no, the republican establishment that they weren't standing by the man at the top of the tick lt. >> everyone i talked to said it's repulsive what he said 11 years ago. many people are saying we need to move forward and forgive, just like john roberts was talking about. if you compare his record to hillary clinton record, four people are dead in benghazi. they were begging for help, and she didn't help. you have her lying about the e-mails and her vilifying women who came out and said her husband assaulted them. you have to decide when you go to the polls, who is better for the country? >> you have to look at that and that wit set up a pretty emotional, passionate debate tonight. the question is, what sels coming out? donald trump indicated to ben carson tonight that there are more tapes coming. from what he said on the howard stern show, especially if people don't know the howard stern

show. unlike hillary clinton, you can't give them questions. when hillary clinton goes on the steve harvey show, she says to steve harvey, this is how i want the segment to run. when you're on that show, when you're not running for president. a lot of crazy stuff came at me. i'm sure that's going to be front and for today. i think it's very interesting and conspicuous how the clinton camp has kept entirely silent. my sense is tonight they're going to open up with bazookas going after them. >> it was smart of her not to say anything yet because tonight everyone is going to be watching because they want to hear her reaction. >> yeah, you know, the big lead talking about had the donald trump had not been leaked by somebody at nbc, wikileaks dropped 2,000 of the john podeta, wikileaks says we have

50,000, here's 2,000. so far what we've seen makes hillary look pretty bad. her campaign research director a fellow by the name of tony cart who was so worried about the impact of this sent some headlines in the press that might come out. clinton admits she's out of touch. one headline. clinton says you need to have a private policy and a public policy on things. clinton remarks are pro-trade. so, what we're starting to see, this is just the beginning, this is just the tip of the iceberg, doesn't look good for her. >> she's a career politician, steve. she is saying one thing in public and one thing in private. she's grown up, learning about politics. there is a stark contrast between donald trump and hillary clinton. you have to decide what she wants. >> open borders, globalests. exactly the opposite of what she's saying.

loves the ttp and out of touch with the middle class and the lower class because she hasn't been in that class for quite some time. how does bernie sanders sleep at night? everything he ran against and he pushed her on turns out to be 100% right. yet he still was still goes out there and campaigns for her. >> his supporters are upset with him because of that. >> why wouldn't they be? it's incredible. >> sure, absolutely. and mike just mentioned just a moment ago, what is the reaction from the clinton camp? we're not going to talk about whether or not those are real, because we just blame russia. >> she doesn't have anything on the schedule. >> when in doubt, talk about that. >> she doesn't have anything on the schedule, except the debates, until the election. >> biggest crisis to date, no question. donald trump not getting out, he's staying in. if you look at this rule nine of the rnc i will never dropout. very hard to imagine unless he wants to drop out.

>> you know he's not going to drop out. still ahead, both candidates dealing with brand-new scandals. how did many in the main stream media cover it? >> it sound like you're saying that donald trump could bring down the entire gop. >> there are no major bombshells in these documents, if they are authentic, that stands up to the magnitude about the story of donald trump. >> will it have any impact on tonight's debate. dr. gina loudon is here to discuss that, next.

him coming out and saying, i'm sorry. what did you think about that? >> i think that's a good start with the american people. the american people, they want to be forgiving. i also think that the american people realize that donald trump is not a career politician. this isn't what he's always done and he's been pretty forthright saying my life is entirely different, but this is something i want to do for america because zee a candidate that contrasts who is literally admitting to goldman sachs and she was talking about open borders and open trade. >> two things. >> she's admitting she's will g willingly deleavideceiving the n people. >> his life before this. really what you're saying, before he became a politician in the last year and before he went out on the road and he started meeting thousands and thousands of people, he had one point of view. are you saying he's a changed person? >> this is what i do know.

my background in psychology. i counseled people who have been through campaigns and spent most of my adult life who was a state finisher right here in missouri and campaigns are humbling. steve, it really, it's a completely refining experience. and i'm saying that i know that mr. trump has been humbled when i talk to people who say, this is a spiritual transformation for him. i think that's something for mr. trump to talk about. >> this is your department. he's already given one apology and you said that is a good first step. what should he say? what should he try to work into his answers here tonight? >> contrition. i think that's very important. i also think, though, that just being really honest who he is, who he was. what has happened to him personally on this journey. this has to be so different from anything else he's ever done. he is a real person. i think we forget that about our

politicians. i do think that he has gone through something very, very personal. he's probably lost more friends than the average person who is fighting over this race back and forth. we probably all lost friends in our position on this. talk about his journey, his story because america wants to forgive. if he wants their hearts in this, he has to go grab it. >> dr. gina loudon, who is from st. louis. >> from st. louis. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. 30 days until the elections and the polls showing a tight race in battleground states. they're mapping it all out, coming up next. we'll stand by for that. more trouble for samsung this morning. why do phones keep exploding? that's bad for business.

good morning. welcome back to "fox & friends." some breaking news overnight. a cop killer has now been captured after a tense 12-hour standoff. police say that known gang member john felix opened fire on two police officers in palm springs, california, during a domestic disturbance callple one of those officer os is a brand-new mother to a 4-month-old baby girl and the other officer killed jose vega a 35-year veteran and father of eight. a third officer was also injured and he is recovering in the hospital, we're told this

morning. felix is now facing two counts of murdering a police officer. another fox news alert to bring you right now. matthew has just been downgraded to a post-tropical storm. heavy winds still carving a path of destruction and a stranded driver and her child were rescued. you can see it right here from a hood of a car. one of the many scenes playing out from scenes. it has killed at least ten people in the united states in its path. head over to ainsley who has a look at the politics. >> the polls showing a tight race in key battleground states. the real clear politics average showing hillary clinton leading donald trump in michigan and wisconsin. so, what does it state here? here to break it all down for us is the president scott

rasmusson. i'm going to let you do this because you're better at it. >> like fighting over the remote. we talk about this campaign and you get by all the issues and the personalities and it does come down to the college votes. >> so, if he wins all the red, that gives him a total of 206. how many does he need to win? 270. >> total of 270. he's not going to win in california or, by the way, no democrat is going to win wyoming. we're down to 13 states that people thought were battleground. these are the competitive states. again, trump needs to win north carolina, arizona and finds four more electoral college votes. the biggest of the battlegrounds. 235. and then he has to win ohio.

253 and ainsley, we can talk about this any way you want. if he doesn't win those two states, there is no chance. >> let's say he wins those two states. he still doesn't have the 270. where does he get the last one? what if he were to win michigan? 269 to 269 tie. >> could you imagine? >> i would say this is impossible, but this is a crazy year. the events of the weekend show you have no idea what is going to happen next. the house of representatives then picks the president, but they don't vote as individuals, they vote by state. the texas allegation and the iowa delegation only get one vote. probably that would lead to a republican victory. but, look, while we're talking about this. wisconsin and michigan are thought to be at the upper end of the republican hope. at this year, democratic states for a generation and democratic

by more than the national average. it's very difficult to see how donald trump wins these states, given where we are right now. there was some appeal for those lost workers or the displaced workers that we thought would help in the rust belt. but right now these states would be a real surprise for donald trump to win. so, what do you get back to? we're still in the same place. we start with 206. we win florida. you win ohio. and if he can do that, he still needs 17 electoral college votes. one possibility we'll talk about is pennsylvania. the great white whale for republican candidates for a generation. another path to iowa and nevada and new hampshire. but what we can see is if there's no major fallout from trump comments the other day, he'st in a competitive position in these two states and, just needs a little bit more. >> thank you, scott, for being

with us. next on the rundown. more trouble for samsung this morning. why the phone continues to explode. donald trump is getting hammered for that 11-year-old leaked audiotape from friday. what about the latest wikileaks document dumped. hillary clinton wants open borders despite what she's saying. remember when you said men are superior drivers? yeah... yeah, then how'd i get this... ...allstate safe driving bonus check? ...only allstate sends you a bonus check for every six months you're accident free. silence. it's good to be in, good hands. the steaks have definitely been raised!

definitive presidential debate between hillary and donald trump. >> no doubt about it. i heard he was blow drying his hair earlier. he used up all the electricity. one of the great things about these debates. we get to highlight three colleges that don't normally get a lot of publicity. isn't it great to go on campuses that are exciting but to see you in person, steve. >> you know, thank you very much. i met a lot of nice folks. tucker carlson last night went out with his staff from "daily caller" and tell us what happened in the neighborhood. you arrived at the venue a little early. >> an old neighbor here called and i was walking down the street and "fox & friends" there and swept into their porch party. >> you went up on their porch and partied with them? >> yes, how great is that? >> in a pretty sanitized way.

>> did you do a one-man focus group where you said what do you think about the donald trump thing? >> i heard what i heard from everybody. this is appalling and compared to what. and by the way does the press have moral standings to criticize trump in the way they have been. some of it is well deserved. but it some of it is disproportionate. you could literally invade a country and botch it and screw it up for all time. >> this is what they've been waiting for. and then you know they were going to sandbag him anyway and this is just a month out. boom. this is made for tv. >> we think about the fact -- >> and i can promise you, nobody in the pres has moral standings to talk the way they are talking now. >> a lot of the republicans are jumping ship and a lot of them we knew. senator ayotte on the fence and now over the fence. you can go down the roster.

but a lot of people say the reason this is making their jump and the other problems and controversies didn't is because republicans are scared they're going to lose women forever where they never really had the majority of the hispanic vote or the african-american vote. but they always had women and now this could be fatal, they feel, with these comments. >> yeah. i mean, maybe. there are three things going on that nobody is saying. one, there have some, that's legitimate as far as i'm concerned. two, they're just flat out embarrassed of the guy. i mean, truly. and, three, they don't like him. they've wanted to do, they feel he's a threat to them and they wanted to distance them selves for a long time. actually on a political calculation what you get is legitimate. but the frame it adds. the moral and immoral is really offputting we may have different interests here.

but don't tell me i'm a bad person. >> well, speaking of the normal people. they were out on the streets. every day in front of trump towers. they just stand there thinking, is this the day he's going to come out? he came out yesterday. >> right. >> to a hero's welcome and he made it very clear. i'm not going anywhere. >> what you're seeing here, this is the beginning of the breach. this is the beginning of two republican parties. post-trump, post-election somebody can put this back together. >> humpty trumpy. that is true. it is possible these two groups of people the american middle class and the republican establishment which has done pretty well just don't have enough in common to co exist in a single party. i mean, we'll find out. >> tucker, some of her e-mails have been released and in those e-mails she was sending out how she is in support of open borders, yet says something different when she is on the campaign trail. >> yeah.

>> there are two different hilla hillaries. >> the saddest thing for me in watching all of this is the reaction from bernie sanders who turns out not to be a revolutionary at all. >> brian said he doesn't know how he can sleep. >> true. >> it really is true because he basically confirms his nightmare. here she is but it might have been goldman sachs and any one of those groups and she's basically saying everything you feared is true. you know, i'm for basically -- against american labor. >> open trade and open borders. are you kidding me? open borders in a time we're concerned about security and at a time when we were debating, we were debating about immigration at what level. the only reason that donald trump has any popularity is the wall. they want to take down whatever

fence we built. >> so, democrats are saying that every republican off the speaker should answer the question, are you with trump? you stand with trump. fine. i think every person seeking office should answer the question, are you for open borders? what would america look like in a year if we had open borders? the country would be utterly transformed for the worse. it would destroy america in 12 months, period. this is an insane suggestion and she ought to be held kaeaccounte for it in my opinion. >> a number i saw in the "new york times" 36 republicans have unendorsed him. never supported him anyway. >> for sure. >> the speaker of the house, paul ryan, had an event in wisconsin. trump was invited and then disinvented and mike pence was going to go and didn't go said it would be too weird. when paul ryan got up there, he was actually booed by the party faithful. watch this.

anyway, you have to trust me. boo. just imagine that. >> imagine. >> so we'll do it. but since we saw it -- >> we saw at the beginning, as well, where there were a number of women who were in attendance and, of course, went up to the women in particular and said, were you horrified by what donald trump said and they said, yeah, we are, but we're also horrified by the tax that the republican and party leadership have abandoned. >> not everybody sees the world through the lens of the upper income liberal news producer. that is how the news is through that lens. >> you know what, i did like -- >> not everyone is as horrified. >> tucker, you know what i did like. i liked that mike pence came out and said my family is praying for him and his wife did come out and say she forgives him. >> and one sentence, even

leaders seem less horrified by this than your average tv correspondent. >> they're just morally better. >> we'll have governor huckabee, we'll have him on the show to talk about it. >> two things that would kill, if the rnc withdraws support. neither one of those things happen. we'll get to the bottom of the fact that they will redirect funds away from him. that would be devastating. >> all right. tucker, thank you very much. you're going to come back -- >> are you kidding? i'll be looming on. people have a porch light on across the street. go talk to them. >> like a moth, i'm drawn to it. hurricane matthew on the move up the east coast leaving destruction in its path. the threat is not over, guys. live team coverage coming up next. it's been more than two

louis to see how people viewed the police here. >> that's right. wee were out talking yesterday. there's a divide across the city and the country. my first stop was the st. louis police headquarters. i caught up with the police chief to find out how the police officers are dealing with the rise in tension. after that, we hit the streets. take a look. >> how are your relations and your department's relations with the black lives matter? >> after ferguson, we've made a conscious effort to invest in improving that dialog. i think ferguson made the law enforcement profession around the country realize how big the risk was in communities and especially the communities of color. >> are we putting the fault on the officer that revealed that

that never happened. do you feel like there's a frustration in your force from police officers that the narrative upon which this whole thing has developed is not a fact-based narrative? >> it is. it is. but i don't want to get stuck on it. what i want to get focused on is that the conversation is happening now. we had an officer involved shooting here in st. louis a week ago, a week ago sunday. i walked into a neighborhood and met with people in the neighborhood and said this is what i know right now. here are the facts. i think that helps. so we've learned as a profession, the more information we can share the more quickly it fills a void that's there. >> this is one of our cameras. these are the cameras we put out into the community. i'm a proponent of having eyes in a neighborhood or a business

district. i want people to know they're there. not only do i want to see what's going on, i want it to be a deterrent. the cameras let the bad guys know we're there and let the community know we have a presence there. this is an example of a martha occurred in the city where we had cameras in the area. we were able to monitor it. there's a couple of things. one, it gives us multiple angles and perspectives helps to keep officers out of view, out of sight to keep tensions low and then we're staged and ready to respond if needed. >> this moment right now, what does it represent? >> as i said, i have about four years on the job as chief. i'll talk to chiefs seven, eight, ten years, they've never seen a more difficult time to be a police officer than right now. it's the combination of ferguson, charlotte, minneapolis, chicago, it's a combination. >> we had a chance to talk to the chief at police quart headquarters, near we're hitting the streets. >> i know that ferguson had --

is trying to implement new practices and trying to give their officers training. but it's strained. >> not just in ferguson. everywhere over st. louis it got worse. you know, every -- it seems like every cop the same, you know what i'm saying? even though they say different words, you still feel like they the same. >> is it black lives matter, blue lives matter or all lives? >> all lives. >> i don't believe in black lives matter at all. there shouldn't be an organization or group that say -- we're all human beings, we're all living, trying to make a little piece of happiness while we're here. >> you know, the st. louis police department is clearly trying to engage. they had purchased an ice cream truck going into difficult neighborhoods. >> there's still a great deal of tension. no doubt. >> absolutely. straight ahead, live from st. louis, donald trump vowing to stay in the presidential race

despite the hot mike scandal. how will hillary clinton react. john roberts and mike emanuel on how both candidates prepared all yesterday. come on, guys. you're next on "fox and friends" from wasu. went up the waterspout. down came the rain... ...and clogged the gutter system creating a leak in the roof. luckily the spider recently had geico help him with homeowners insurance. water completely destroyed his swedish foam mattress.

well, good morning to you and your family. it is sunday. october 9, 2016. donald trump make tg clear, he's not going anywhere. >> and listen to that. his supporters making it crystal clear, they stand behind him. what about the rest of the party? and what about you? how is it all going to shape up? we're going to be watching the debate tonight, brian. >> i promise i will. plus, while donald trump gets hammered over that 11-year-old audio, remember the

time hillary clinton said she was denied from the military because she was a woman. turns out according the to the wikileaks leak, she lied. this morning, we've got the proof. >> she didn't really want to join the marines? i can't wait for the show to start. if you think the first debate wasn't entertaining enough, roll the tape. >> well, yeah, i can do this. ♪ everybody sing. >> it's now getting the bad lip reading treatment. because we just don't have enough to do. there's no content to talk about in the show. let me remind you, it's sunday. stay in your pajamas. you can sleep in. it's raining everywhere and mornings are better with friends. everybody wants to rule the

world ♪ ♪ >> we are wasu. we are wasu! we are wasu! we are wasu! >> and we are up early live from washington university in the heart of st. louis, missouri. this is "fox and friends" with the washington university bears cheerleaders and a bunch of students as well. and look who is coming to the set? we've got mike emanuel who has been covering the hillary clinton campaign. mike, take your position. we've got john roberts who last slept in april of 2014. joining us live. welcome, folks. >> thanks for having us. >> actually, went to bed early yesterday. but then there was a fire alarm in the hotel.

>> oh, no. >> brian, a moment ago you said it's raining everywhere. it's actually going to be a beautiful day in missouri. >> don't jinx it. >> come on out. >> sorry about that. >> come one, come all. >> it's a beautiful day here. >> mike emanuel, john roberts on to the stage like a 1978 reliever in baseball. that's exactly how when you went to the bull pen, they used to come out with the golf cart. >> i don't have the army used to, brian. it's not there anymore. >> john, start with you. tell us what happened yesterday in trump world. >> how long do you have? >> two minutes. >> i mean, we all saw the tape. we all heard the tape and the strategy from the trump campaign is twofold. first of all, it's to get all the people closest to him to push back and against the remarks to say we know they were horrible but we forgive him, we don't believe this is the man that he is today. these comments don't represent the man he is today.

it's time to move on to other things. one of the things they want to move on to tonight, steve, in the debate is the latest revelations about hillary clinton and she is leaked e-mails regarding the speeches and they've got ten points they've been putting out there. a lot of points are the ones he'll make tonight at the debate. >> what trump wants to do. what about the reality of will it work? >> that's a question. as mike will tell you in a minute, hillary clinton has been practicing very hard as to how to respond to this and not saying anything about it in clinton camp. more on that from mike. donald trump is pushing back against really a flood of people calling for him to get out. >> from his party. >> even people in the leadership, like senator john booth who said he needs to go. condoleezza rice who said he needs to go. donald trump is defiant saying i'm not going anywhere and they'll do final debate prep in st. louis. try to make this point as to why he's going to stay in the race.

>> hillary clinton staying in the race as well. >> absolutely. >> the big question is, how hard will she pick him tonight? >> her team has kept is a mystery. they want to save it for the big awe jens. she put out a subtle tweeo subt >> they're saving the big reaction for tonight on the big stage. they feel the audience will be massive, so they want it to be a made for tv moment. she's going to give a reaction. she's been rehearsing for this debate. spent almost eight hours at a hotel near her chappaqua house yesterday practicing for the big debate. they feel like the timing was tough for trump. with everybody tuning in, they feel it will be a great opportunity for her to react on stage. >> as mentioned, this trump disaster with the billy bush tape has taken this wikileaks stuff off her front page. but she's going to be asked about that tonight.

because it's hugely embarrassing. >> and damaging. >> no question about it. it's a different format. town hall format. questions from two moderators and questions from the audience. it will be interesting if some ask about the revelations in the wikileaks. do you have to have two different positions, a public position or private position when you're talking about wall street, open borders, open trade, things that bernie sanders was against trade and fought against that. wanted to see her wall street speeches. they come out in this wikileaks, her team is not saying -- they're not confirming the awe then tis of the e-mails but also not rejecting them. >> it's the darn russians. >> if trump wanted it about policy, that's what -- chris christie, who was a master of the town hall during the primary campaign has been heavily involved in debate preparation. for now, what happened the last 48 hours, keeping it on policy is going to be difficult. it's really going to be tough. >> the cheerleaders moved on to

something else. you're coming on the stage, you're on your own. >> glad i went with the red tie. >> never lasts long with us. a flash in the pan. guys, thank you very much. ainsley and brian. steve, the question is how is he going to handle this? what's he going to say? if he comes out and apologizes out of the gate, he said that was 11 years ago. he said i regret it, it's despicab despicable. i have a daughter and i have a wife, i have several daughters. if he focused more on policy and what hillary clinton's done, benghazi, four people dead for lying about the e-mails. >> that's true. if they go after him and the people in the audience all go at him, does he turn around and say, by the way, let's get this straight, we're talking about the wife of a guy that cheated on her multiple -- >> she vilified a lot of the women who accused him. >> the new york post says that

would be the wrong strategy. don't bring up bill clinton. be above it. don't get into that. don't be defensive. what you should do in 24 hours as now, calling up to the leadership and even groveling to say, hang in there, i apologize. i will not embarrass you. >> steve, whether or not he can come back from this, i don't know. but if he says we've all regretted something that we've said, this is 11 years ago, i didn't know i was running for president, i'm going to change my life now. >> ainsley, that's more than one thing. that's the comeback. >> yesterday in front of trump tower was pretty clear he got support, steve. this was not unusual. take a look. >>. [ cheering ] >> so i mean, with over 30 lawmakers coming out saying he should drop out or they're not going to support him anymore, he says he will not budge. the rnc will have a long time deciding if they're going to

kick him out. unless there's an illness or he decides to drop out, he knew -- for one thing, he has a lot of calls for support and a lot of support outside a place, new york city, which will not -- he will not sway the vote in new york city. but his supporters did show up outside his building. >> sure. >> they did. there are throngs of them. you've been over at 5th avenue at trump tower. i know john roberts pretty much has a car parked in front of the building. every day, people are there coming out. is he coming out? they came out yesterday to that hero's welcome. when i flew to st. louis yesterday, peggy noonan, the "wall street journal" columnist was on the flight with me. we were talking a little bit. she said, really, does this surprise you what he has done or what she has done? because so many people -- so many people have said they're flawed candidates. we know their personal history. yesterday out in wisconsin, paul ryan had an event, donald trump

ws initially invited to it then disinvited. then mike pence, not going to come either. there were a lot of people in attendance to see donald trump and they still squarely stand behind him even though he made comments 11 years ago. here are some of the women who still support trump and are steamed at the republican establishment. >> i think -- we should be all together. we're all for the same thing, you know. stopping isis, closing our borders, getting rid of our debt. >> i can understand what they're doochlgt it is awful. that was 11 years ago. they should stand behind him. >> it doesn't show us a united republican party and they should be standing behind trump right now. >> we also have tom rickets and sheldon adelson, his two biggest supporters saying we're not going to budge. among the people sticking around, bob doel. bob dole said wait a second,

that was 11 years ago. if he has a good debate tonight, he could change things around. he's trailing by two points. he was in the game on friday's fox poll in the battleground states. this will not help. you need something to turn it around tonight. the question is, why isn't mike pence in the meetings to strategize for a debate after the brilliant debate on tuesday? >> mike pence is saying he's praying for donald trump, he doesn't agree with him but said it was 11 years ago. he's praying for him and grateful he expressed remorse. this was the headline on the post this morning, steve. it says i will never drop out. i don't believe he will. >> just keep in mind, donald trump is not a quitter. that's one of the things that they like about him. tough guy, he's not a quitter. for the people who say well, he's toast, he's going to be running and he's going to be campaigning right until the end. the big question is, how soon after the first question, if it's not on this particular point, will donald trump -- he

will say this is 11 years ago, i feel terrible about it. this is ultimately a choice election. you know what i stand for. you know what she stands for. let's talk about the difference. >> can you do it if the rnc pulls support, can you do it without 36 lawmakers while the people rise up and say i've had it with the party politics. and i'm just going to stick with my guy or that's it, i'm over the cliff. especially when ben carson said i'm going to stay with donald trump. i just got off the phone with him and he told me there will be more of these type tapes to come. which would be devastating. >> he's the candidate, the nominee. the rnc has to stand behind him right up to the end. >> [ overlapping talking ]. >> even worse than they are now. >> the people voted. that was their candidate. the rnc has to live with it. >> right. >> but if they take the money and they go to the house and

senate races, that will be what they would do. >> so many people won't go out to vote because they were on board for donald trump and they might actually take it out on the people who didn't stand squarely with him. >> strong argument. there's so many sides to this. thanks, steve. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead -- >> it's going to be a big show tonight lots of people watching. we have 2 1/2 hours left. i forgot -- by the way, watch this -- >> we have three hours. >> sorry. >> you've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people are out there busting it. >> now i know what it's about. bill clinton saying obamacare is terrible. that's what stuart varney says only he has an english accent. will you please walk? please walk.

with fox business network. stay, stuart. >> i think the media is totally unwilling to accept that obamacare is a failure. that it's collapsing, the signature achievement of president obama and the media doesn't want to say it's disintegrating and collapsing. collapsing, it is. you just quoted an average of 24.what was it 2% as the average premium hike that consumers will see in november if they're on the ex chchangesexchanges. look at the individual states. a 56% bump up in arizona. 43% up in illinois. in minnesota, where the state commissioner said yes, obamacare is on the brink of collapse, his word, it's going to go up between 50 and 60 perz. >> look at the numbers. >> iowa, pennsylvania, north carolina, way into the double digits. way up. >> i was shocked that manuel is blaming marco rubio for not allowing it to be fixed. they want to reach into the

treasury and give the insurers money and rubio said no, you can't do that. $19 trillion in debt. this is your plan. figure it out. they're blaming him. >> i did a contentious interview with zeke emanuel and his fix, short term fix is as follows. bigger taxpayer subsidies to consumers, a bailout for insurers and bigger fines for individuals who do not have health care coverage. can you believe that? that's punishing you and i, that's punishing you and i for the failure of their system. >> these are individuals that couldn't afford insurance before. now this administration is forcing them to buy this insurance and now premiums are going to go up on average 24% next year? >> that is correct. >> how can they afford it? how can the individual afford it? >> this is one of the primary reasons the middle class is being squeezed. it's obamacare, the deductibles,

health care premiums. >> lower class gets it for free. the upper class can afford what they want and the middle class has to pay huge premiums and the middle class is who hillary clinton says she's fighting for. she's got to run for the president or embrace this. >> that's another reason this whole story, which is huge in my opinion, it affects millions and mms of people, that's why it's under rn reported. because it's a huge negative for hillary clinton going into the election. >> trump has to pick up on it. >> they're all gung-ho for hillary clinton. >> whether he has time to pick up on it with everything else,on. >> you wouldn't walk in. would you walk out? >> if you insist. >> coming up -- >> i have a friend at "fox and friends." >> you are a friend. both candidates dealing with scandals today on the debate. which one will have the biggest -- we have a debate

coming up. one is a republican and one is a democrat. stick around. this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain. and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis with humira.

good morning. welcome back to "fox and friends." 24 minutes after the hour. breaking overnight, a cop killer captured. after a tense 12-hour standoff in palm springs, california, police say a known gang member, john felix, opened fire on those officers who were responding to a domestic disturbance call through a closed door. one of those officers screen left, jose vega, was a 35-year veteran of the force and father of eight children. the other officer who was killed, screen right.

officer leslie, she was a brand new mother to a 4-month-old baby girl. a third officer injured is now recovering. felix now faces two counts of murder. another fox news alert to bring you. hurricane matthew no longer a hurricane. the storm downgraded to a post tropical cyclone. that's what they call it. as it continues to wreak havoc along the eastern coast. this is north myrtle beach, the flames were ignited from a nearby power line. entire cities underwater from the record breaking flooding there. that storm claiming at least ten lives in the united states. a look at the storm's latest track in just a few minutes. let's head back to steve doocy live for us in st. louis. hi, steve. >> hi there, heather. thank you very much. twin october surprises rocking the presidential race as hillary clinton and donald trump weather their own separate scandals.

how is this going to dominate the debate live from wasu in st. louis? we have a couple of people to discuss it. lisa booth the contributor at the washington examiner and julie rah begin ski is a democratic strategist and fox news contributor. >> here from high noon, this is high noon for donald trump, isn't it? >> it is. he's in a difficult predicament. look, there's some selective outrage from the left given the fact that -- >> they're good at that. >> given the fact that president clinton is a top surrogate, despite being her husband, he's campaigning for her, he'll have a big role in the white house if she was to win. he's been accused of sexual scandals more egregious. celebrities taking their clothes off in the name of hillary clinton and they don't seem to care about that. conflicted outrage. donald trump is in a tough predicament. the problem is these comments weren't made in isolation.

there's been previous comments, i imagine more comments coming forward. the rnc reports, if they're true, the fact that they're di virting money away from donald trump and to house races and senate races, that puts him in a tough spot. he does need the money for voter outreach to get them out to vote. >> it would be unprecedented for the party to do that. switch hats. what advice do you give to donald trump? you're going to be out there, she's going to be there. you say what? >> get ahold of yourself. don't let her provoke you. that's what you did at the last debate. make sure that you say something that appeals to white college-educated women who is the demographic that you need desperately. >> regarding this? >> not about this. >> policy. >> policy. refocus. refocus. but to bring in bill clinton if she's from 20, 30 years ago only accentuates what you're going through right now.

>> do you think that will happen? there's a lot of it online. given the fact that last week when they met he interrupted her a lot. if he interrupts her tonight a lot, would that be a bad thing or a good thing? >> i think he needs to act like an adult. i think he's incapable of doing. but he needs to get ahold of himself, refocus on policy. speak to the voters on the republican side who he's hemorrhaging, not just democrats who are outraged. the number 3 senator, john mccain, i can go on and on. he needs to refocus on those people and say listen, from a policy perspective, you need me in the white house. he's not capable of doing that. >> something that is possible, the big question is, because he's only been a politician a year, can he pull it out? at the same time, he is weathering this storm with the tape from nbc, hillary clinton has this damaging wikileaks that said we've got 50,000 e-mails, here's 2,000, she's out of touch, blah, blah, blah.

she looks terrible. but nary a word on the pages of the papers. >> mainstream media won't focus on that. it's incumbent on donald trump to bring that out, draw the contrast between hillary clinton and the middle class and his policies for the middle class. the difficulty for donald trump versus hillary clinton is you don't have democrats that are turning their backs on hillary clinton because of those transcripts where you do have republicans turning their backs on donald trump. the reason being is because right now he represents the republican party and they're concerned about the long-term future of the party, winning or maintaining majority in the house and the senate. that's where their focus lies right now. it's a complicated situation. >> there will be 100 bazillion people watching tonight. >> get the popcorn. >> we'll be watching. ladies, thank you very much. thanks for coming back to college. >> any time. if you thought the first debate wasn't entertaining enough, take a look at this. >> it says here that you plan to put an appliance into dead blind

people. >> don't think about the appliance. sometimes everyone has to believe. >> that is a nonsense answer. it's nothing. >> it makes sense if i say that it does. >> now the first debate is getting the bad lip-synch reading treatment. we'll show you that. plus, what do college students want to hear in the debate? ten republicans and ten democrats, college students standing by live from washington. you're next on "fox and friends."

>> talk about college kids. >> thank you very much. a bunch of college kids, brian and ainsley. we have ten republicans and ten democrats. jimmy is with the college democrats. good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me >> how hard was it to get ten people up? >> not hard. it's a big day, we're all looking forward to it. >> what's the issue for you? >> i'm voting for hillary clinton because she's spent her whole live fighting to give everyday working americans to -- look at this amazing university. she wants to expand access so more people can come here and make it affordable. >> what about the free college thij thing, that good for you? >> great for me. >> i don't blame you. jimmy, rueben is the head of the college republicans. what is this about for you? >> for us, we have a lot of niche political policy issues. it comes down to the economy. we're all college students, going to have to go to a strong job market. we have a lot of anxiety about the cost of servicing of the debt. >> absolutely.

how bugged are you about the comments from 11 years ago or what whatever? >> a lot of us thought they were incredibly inappropriate. we're prone to thinking people overreact. but he has a lot of explaining do. >> he does. >> jimmy and rueben, you stand here. let's talk to each and every one of these kids. >> i'm jordan. >> the first ten are the democrats. what's the big thing for you tonight? >> tonight we need to focus on the fact that whoever is going to be our leader should respect all americans. i think we really need to see donald trump answer for the horrible things he said, not just about women but about pretty much every minority. >> very good. >> that was a great answer. we have to have shorter ones. what's the number one thing tonight. >> i want to hear a lot of policy. >> you're going to get it. >> i want to see hillary do what she does best in and debate and have a great job. >> a good first debate. >> big issue for me is environmental policy. >> i'm concerned about gun control and national security. >> i'm also concerned about

national security and talking about domestic and foreign issues. >> i'm concerned about the state of our health care. >> okay. >> i was also going to say i'm concerned about our health care. >> i want to see an end to the hateful rhetoric in this election season. >> there has been a lot of rhetoric indeed. >> about the job market. >> who are they? >> the candidates. >> i think donald trump is going to make more jobs according to what i've seen before. are we start with the republicans? >> all right. >> there could be a sea change in goals for tonight. >> a good economic strong plan for the future of america. >> all right. i want to see how both parties react to the debate and how they continue to shape the -- >> how do you think donald trump did in the first one? >> poorly if we're going to be honest. >> better tonight. >> tangible policy about supporting israel. >> skre good. >> i would like to see donald trump drop out so he doesn't destroy the name for

conservatism. he's ruining the name of conservatism for conservatives everywhere. >> do you want donald trump to drop out tonight? >> i don't know. but i think my main thing is i want to see him -- >> talk to this guy. >> i want to see the national debt and find april balanced budget. >> if donald trump wants to see hillary clinton defeated, he needs to drop out and he's a disto grace to the republican party. i want to see the federal government spend within needs and leave a deficit -- >> like that's going to happen. >> i can dream. >> i'd like to see strong national defense policy. >> me too. >> i want to see hillary clinton call donald trump on the wrongdoings and i want donald trump to throw it back at her. >> i want the discussion how to get a stronger job market growing in the economy. >> regardless of who is elected president, i'd like to see a plan to reaffirm u.s. credibility overseas. >> our final student. >> more reference to the constitution for both candidates. >> you're not the only one. brian and ainsley, answers from

the kids who cannot believe they got up so early to be on tv today. >> sunday morning. >> 20 interviews. you set a record. i'll give you some type of prize. >> thank you very much. the morning consult about an instant poll after the tapes came out and asked gopers, do you want donald trump to drop out? 39% said yes he should, 49% said no. the majority wants him to stay in. >> hats off to the students. thank them so much for us, brian -- i mean, steve. >> we're taking off your hats. >> were you part of a college republicans or democrats? >> i was waiting for steve doocy to interview me. he never showed. i'm so angry. while trump is hammered over the audio that emerged, remember when hillary said she was denied from the military because she was a woman? it turns out she lied. courtesy of wikileaks. governor mike huckabee, the one thing he says trump should

burning, pins-and-needles of beforediabetic nerve pain, these feet played shortstop in high school, learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain, from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision.

common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and these feet would like to keep the beat going. ask your doctor about lyrica. 43 minutes after the hour. a few quick heed lines to bring you. do you remember the time hillary clinton said she was denied from joining the military because she's a woman? it turns out that she lied. a transcript shared by wikileaks revealing a speech where she said in part, "i think you're too old for the marines but maybe the dogs will take you. i said the dogs? and he goes yeah. you know, the army." more on that as we get it. you may not have seen the

first presidential debate quite like this. watch. >> why don't you move to africa. move to africa. i wish that you would. i'll never move to that country. i don't like how you look. i don't like your name. i don't like your anything. >> that is nice. because i hate you. and your fuzzy hair, silly. >> i run the -- went home and got hurt. i need no one -- >> that's it. >> all right. hopefully that gave you a laugh at home. donald trump getting the bad lip reading treatment as we've just seen. those are your headlines. see you soon. what do you have? >> a number of republicans are calling for donald trump to quit. but he says there's zero chance of that. we're at an impasse. >> what should donald trump's strategy be tonight to defeat hillary clinton. here to weigh in, former

governor of arkansas, mike huckabee. what does he need to do out of the gate? >> get this off the table. he issues a full apology for the things he said and did 11 years ago. let be clear, what he did and said a deplorable. unlike hillary clinton, he thinks -- it's what we do that can be deplorable. doesn't people are deplorable. he needs to say i did a thing that's inexcusable. don't bring anybody else's sins into it. then get on with the debate. the country is at stake. i care far less what he said 11 years ago than what hillary was doing just a few months ago when she was selling out the security of this country and when she was engaged in basically selling off the united states for donations to the clinton foundation. >> right. it's going to be buried. i'm not sure martha raddatz or

anderson cooper will bring that up. you don't have control of the questions or the moderators. if you're donald trump, he's indicating he's going to bill clinton's transgressions and her reactions. you replaced him when he moved on. should he do that? >> he shouldn't take the initiative, but if she draws first blood, then it's all out there. i don't know if she's going to be, to me, foolish enough to want to bring this up. i think she may. i think it's a dangerous place for her to go. she's got to defend not what something happened 11, 12 years ago, she has to defend that, while her husband occupied the highest office in the land, he was engaged in sexual activities with a subordinate, an intern and then lied about it under oath. lost his law license, got impeached. these are serious offenses. it just wasn't one woman, it's dozens of them. she helped to cover it up.

i don't think she wants to go there. this is a sordid affair. be clear. this is disgusting, it's sad to talk about it. but we also need to look forward and ask ourselves, who is going to lead this country, who is going to make supreme court appointments, employ people in the agency, set a national policy for jobs. if we elect hillary clinton, god help us. we're going to continue to spiral down economically and militarily. we can't afford that right now. >> governor the headlines for the post says, i will never drop out. do you think he should? >> absolutely not. look, the people calling for it, some of the so-called republican leaders, the ones calling for him to get out were the ones who never called for him to get in. one maxim of politics i would share with you guys, you never listen and heed the advice of the people who don't like you anyway. that's rule one. the people are saying, as people have said to me before when i was a candidate, you need to drop out, they never asked me to

drop in. when donald trump's mms of supporters, the hardcore, that show up at the rallies, when they tell him to get out, then he needs to listen. that's not happening. >> redirect funds -- i can't get confirmation if the wall stre"wt journal" is right, if they're calling to redirect funds to house and senate races. should they do that? >> if they do, it's over for the rnc. that would be a very stupid, foolish strategy on the part of the rnc. look, i want to see us win the house and senate. but we need all three, the white house, the house and the senate to move the ball forward and it would be, to me, catastrophic and the consequences for future contributions or any participation, if you start playing that game and going to the level of your highest critic, you know, i think the rnc would be jumping into a fool pool of acid to do that. >> governor, we'll be watching

tonight. >> good to talk to you. >> people closer to the trump campaign, none more than governor huckabee. when she sent doos on the loose inside anheuser-busch. >> meet the man who makes sure every bottle has the perfect bud taste. can you imagine being the taste tester? >> nice hops, nice barley.

because whatever they say, it's going to be very important debate. >> reporter: sure, they are speaking with one voice, on message. it's all about tonight. of course, what happened yesterday, a lot happened yesterday. that's why we're joined by john rockets and mike emmanuel here at wash university. >> let me ask you this, is there ever a day that goes by in the trump campaign when not a lot happens? can we sit back? it's like being inside a tornado with a thunderstorm raging around him. >> that's how he got noticed. >> it's the most interesting thing. i've covered every campaign since 96 and it's the most interesting thing i have seen. >> bring us what to date on what happened. >> the fallout day two of the scandal surrounding the release of that tape, saw of republicans say that's it, we're done. kocondoleezza rice said enough d kelly ayotte and john mccain and

other people, they could no longer support donald trump. a lot of other people, mike lee and others called for him to drop out of the race. >> john, a lot of these republicans and party stall worths didn't like him to start with? >> no, people like mike lee, mark kirk, other people like, they never liked him in first place. and carly fiorina said it's time for him to go. a lot of people are staying with him. we talked to jeff sessions, he's still firmly on board with him and rudy giuliani as well. he spent yesterday with him in debate prep and came out of trump tower yesterday and happened to get caught on camera but he knew he was going to be caught on camera. >> not that kind, no. >> listen to what he said. >> this is basically the insiders against the outsiders anyway. donald trump is the populist candidate, most who turned on him -- i would see this as you

want change in washington, go for donald trump. if you want to keep things the same, go for hillary clinton. >> here's what the donald trump campaign will focus on today. they are not going to talk a lot about what's going on. they have people coming out melania trump saying we forgive him let's move on. now the idea of what was in the speeches she gave to the wall street, in particular this idea of common market and open borders. donald trump's language was vulgar but what hillary clinton is planning could destroy the country. that's going to be the message. >> that's going to be the pivot. they bring one thing up. >> we'll see if it works. >> we'll see if it works. hillary was up at that fancy hotel in west chester yesterday in a ball room practicing again, right? >> that's right, her team's position has been let's stay out of it. while some republicans may be backing from donald trump, let's let that be the story. on the big stage tonight, let's

make the big reaction there with the huge audience watching, feeling it's going to be one of the biggest events -- >> is she going to go after him? >> that's what we've been led to believe but they kept under wraps what she's going to say. the wikileaks dump and e-mails from her campaign chairman, john podesta, suggesting she has different position in public than private. through the primaries we saw bernie sanders saying, i want to see what's in the wall street speeches and there's evidence she was saying let wall street regulate itself which would make the bernie sanders people go crazy. >> what, i'm a free trader. >> she should have d. wall street behind her name. >> excellent job. always good to see you, steve, particularly when you have the band. >> by the way, earlier after he

was talking about the anhueser busch, the cheer leader did not applaud, they didn't applaud because the horse may have stampeded. >> they were clapping at home. >> no reason to not clap for beer. >> you handled that so cute. that was adorable when you put your hand over the camera so we didn't see you drinking. >> can't drink on camera. >> i know. >> you haven't been called adorable in quite some time. >> very creative. let's talk about donald trump. probably the most difficult day on the campaign trail so far. not only did he have to handle things with his campaign, push for republicans to get out but has to deal with his own family, he was just married to melania when this tape was made. they kept raw tapes, no idea

they could do 11 years of raw tapes and number two, with the stuff mixed in with this, melania gave a positive tweet out. question is, what did they get done in the debate prep? what are they planning for today? rudy and christie were on the inside. >> they are not talking now or doing any of the sunday shows, they'll wait until tonight. rudy will speak right before the debate. >> rudy is going to do the sunday shows. >> that's confirmed? >> yeah. >> that's smart, they are trying to get their ducks in a row to figure out how to handle this. they want one person to do the talking before the debate tonight. >> plus, jeff sessions who john was talking about just a moment ago, he's going to be with us very shortly. he was actually at trump tower yesterday. i asked him about, there was an nbc contributor said that behind closed doors senator sessions

suggested that donald trump drop out and you know what, jeff sessions said, what, that did not happen. that was a flat out lie. >> we were asking governor mike huckabee very involved with the campaign if he should drop out and this is what he said, steve. >> the ones calling for him to get out were the ones who never called for him to get in. one maxim of politics i would share with you guys. you never listen and heed the advice of the people who don't like you anyway. that's rule one. so the people saying as people have said to me before when i was a candidate, you need to drop out. they never asked me to drop in. when donald trump's millions of supporters that show up at tens and thousands of rallies, when they tell him to get out, then he needs to listen. >> so far the biggest names that say stay in, bob dole is firmly in his back and senator

sessions. most all of the evangelical leaders stay behind him and tony per kins said no one condones the comment but he's staying there. you have jerry falwell jr. >> and mike pence, his vp, he's staying in and saying we're praying for his family. he said i hope that people will have the opportunity to really know what is in his heart. we're grateful that he has expressed remorse. a lot of people saying he needs to come out of the gate and say i'm so sorry, that was 11 years, i'm not that man anymore. >> unless more tapes then out then he has to make sure -- go ahead, steve. >> that is exactly what he's got to do, address it. it's the elephant in the room as paul ryan referred to it yesterday. and then make it clear that he is really sorry for it and you know, he's moving on to policy

issues. you know, nothing that he should -- has said in the past, especially this 11 years or hillary clinton's past as well should surprise us. these are two unique candidates. when you look at the popularity, how much you trust them, it ultimately comes down to nigel said yesterday, donald trump is not running for pope. it comes down to who you want to lead the country and what are the issues important to you. are they morality issues? maybe they are. are they about jobs and the economy? whatever, there's a clear choice come november and regardless of a number of republicans who say he should get out, he's going to be the guy people will decide people him and hillary clinton. >> excellent point. you need to look at her record too. >> absolutely. >> people are saying look at benghazi and people begging her for help, four americans are dead now. at the thanksgiving table, that's quickly approaching. those seats are empty for the

rest of their lives. she lied about the e-mail scandal. >> 20% of the uranium stock pile we have now belonged to russia. fantastic. we'll be back out to st. louis and we're going to be back in new york as we continue to countdown the clock in the big debate. >> both candidates battling october surprises ahead of the big debate. is this just the beginning? what will this mean for tonight's debate? >> plus, look who is hanging out in st. louis, that's alabama senator jeff sessions. a donald trump adviser, the first to hop on the bandwagon. ♪ remember when you said men are superior drivers?

donald trump is dealing with something unprecedented in american history. you can see that by the response. we've never seen a party just desert their nominee in the way they have. there's a question mark whether mike pence will remain on the ticket and the leadership of the party are going to completely step away from him. thsz like something we've never seen. and another thing i throw out here, every show that has archival footage of donald trump is going back through those tapes and you have to think there's more where this came from. >> we'll have to see. just amazing that a syndicated show would keep 12 years of raw tapes ready in a vault and ends up on the "washington post" and not nbc is bizarre. nothing crystal said is outlandish. what is your take? >> i mean, the reality is it's a dangerous tactic. if hillary clinton wants to go there this evening, she will be

talking about like you said what happened 11 years ago, regarding crude comments mr. trump made. no excuse for them. they were crude but what about what her husband did with five or six different about the ass sexual harassment. >> in the quts new york post, a master strategist said do not go there. forget about bill clinton and transgressionses. >> only if they goes there in defense. what she tried to do is destroy the five women and silence them and intimidate them. how do you possibly compare the two things. wikileaks things is so much pore compelling. you talk about a private policy you keep to yourself and another law you tell the public. you talk about open borders and dream of open borders and talk about trying to establish a no fly zone in syria, only with boots on the ground and your campaign and barack obama's have completely rejected. the wikileaks stuff is so

substantive, that's what mr. trump has to go. going to weave these issues throughout the debate, not only is she a liar but she is every bit the crooked hillary he painted her to be. >> we have news just a little bit. mike pence according to the camp is solid. they said he's been strong, at the fundraiser last night, we'll get through this. that was his quote, not a conjecture. and number two, it seems as though the republican party was never really that much on board with donald trump outside the senator sessions and huckabee and rudy giuliani. what you said is also correct, we've never seen so much desertion in the final weeks. go ahead. >> trump's base is with him. they are going to love if he goes after the clintons and goes after bill tonight. they are going to absolutely love that. but that's about 30% of the voting public. you've got to get beyond that clearly. what i would say, which i'm not first to say, bill clinton is

not on the ballot. if you want to both make yourself look small and make your situation worse mr. trump -- >> but the issue isn't what he did -- >> make hillary much more sympathetic in the public's eyes, that's the way to go -- >> what bill clinton -- the issue is what hillary -- how she reacted to? >> we'll go back 11 years, you can go back 14 years if that what we're talking about. >> if it has to come to that, it's what she did. she hired an investigator and tried to destroy these women and silenced them. that's criminal. >> there's no evidence of that. >> we have isis -- >> overwhelming evidence. >> isis setting on i.e.d.s and russians with nukes outside lidge wain i can't and we're talking about this. telling us what the outside story about rumors swirling around him telling trump to drop

out. i think he has something to say about that. ♪ guess what guys, i switched to sprint.

should consider dropping out. that's not true? >> no. rudy and newt weren't even there. i don't think they were in the building that day. that's not correct. but i do think it's time for the republican leadership in this country to take a deep breath. this thing is overblown, steve. everybody knows that trump likes women, he talks -- used this kind of talk and been on howard stern show, years over years. this is not a disqualifying event but what is to me being overlooked is that power of the wikileaks on hillary clinton who says she believes in open borders and says one thing to the public and another thing to private financeers and supporters and big money people. that explains why we have this lawlessness at our border. it is our deep philosophy that we have a western hemisphere union like the -- what the

british have in europe and it has open borders where europe where you move completely freely. >> if donald trump does tonight where you just dressed, address the issue, said it was a terrible thing to say and turn it around on hillary clinton and wikileaks thing, this would be what we would be talking about. currently they have 50,000 in all, we would be talking about this had that billy bush tape not shown up. >> i think we need to give donald trump a chance to do that. people need to slow down in their comments and think about it. we're at a point in time when we're going to have a choice for this country on immigration, if we don't do it right this time, it's going to be too late. if we don't fix the trade problem in america that he has courageously pushed back on and exposed, that could be too late for us. i think it's a big deal. there's a host of issues out

there that the american people care about and once focused on that, they could see the numbers go right back up as he's done before. >> let's see if he does and go back to open borders for a while. donald trump has only bn in the politics business officially for about a year now. you've been in politics for a very long time and you've seen how effectively people can get themselves out of a jam. what does donald trump need to say tonight? sketch out the script of what he should say? what are the buzz words? imagine you're frank luts for a second. >> he has to be himself. he never denied who he is and never denied how he approaches business and life and people. so he needs to be himself and apologize clearly and needs for the american people to know that he understands this is unacceptable and has to stop it and then he has to refocus this whole question on what you want

for america. >> sure. >> what direction you want to go. policies have worked for him. twice he's down and come back to lead. now he's down again and i thnk he can move towards november on these issues, for job and personal security and those kind of issues. >> senator sessions, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right, meanwhile, we've been talking about it all morning, twin scandals rocking ahead of tonight's debate. tucker carlson apparently brought a marching band. the guy has got class. ♪ ♪

>> let's go bears! let's go bears! let's go bears! let's go bears! let's go bears! >> the home of the bears if you haven't figured that out. hap happy birthday. >> i liked her politically correct answer. it's going to be interesting. >> as steve comes back to the stage, tucker carlson is here, combed his hair, same side as earlier in the show. welcome back. >> it's great to see you, brian. >> i know you had instant analysis of what took place friday night. i'm watching for your take yesterday. donald trump says i'm staying put and you saw what happened in wisconsin where paul ryan was on stage and got booed for telling donald trump not to show up and the scene outside trump tower.

do you as soon as it might not be as bad as originally thought? >> the thing that matters in politics is voters, that's all that matters in a democracy. we have a new poll on the attitude of republican voters to trump. i don't think anyone disputes what he said is creepy and weird and offputting but 75% of their party want the party to stand with trump. the republican establishment in washington is it sending a similarly clear message, we don't like you and don't care what you think. don't like the candidate you supported in the primaries and not interested in in you and in your views and i think that -- i understand the divide. they have different interests republican establishment and republican voters. by sending that message to voters, i think they are guaranteeing a permanent split in the party after the election is done a from now. >> you said 13% would like to see him -- would that parallel

the number of never trumpers? >> it might. >> it's a little bigger than that number. people are legitimately upset about the video. i was upset about it. what do we do next is an entirely different question. the trump campaign was never about trump's moral rectitude. nobody supporting trump because he would be a great baby sitter for your kids. to the extent the republican establishment forgets that, they do themself harm. >> tucker, how does he recover from all of this? what does he need? if you were advising him, what does he need to do to recover from all of this and can he recover? >> yeah, i mean, look, far be it for me or anyone else to say we know what's going to happen. there's only a month left. this is a very volatile moment in american history. it's going to be tempting and emotionally satisfying to make the point that hillary clinton

has no standing to criticize anyone else on these issues and the press has no standing either. that's true. but you have to ask yourself why did trump get to this position in first place? again, because on a couple of issues, immigration and trade and corruption in washington, he's on the side of the american middle class and she's not. he reminds voters of not. will he be able to? no question. if he does, that helps because that's why he's here in the first place. >> we look at the crisis management that's happening right now. so far they are pretty quiet yesterday. that took care of donald trump and now the surrogates have decided we're staying home except for rudy giuliani. and by the way, politico has a different survey, says 45% of republicans want him to stay. 39 want him to leave. relative split. the question is, can a candidate -- >> keep going in that survey. >> can a candidate win an election without so much

republican support? is there any scenario without the ayottes and mccains and martinez that you can win -- >> the establishment? >> well, let me be clear. trump is in a really tough spot and has to do well tonight. if the election were held now, he would lose, i'm not pretending otherwise. you have to balance against the fact that he is bringing new voters and losing upper income people who voted republican historically and winning for the first time in my lifetime the majority of private sector union members. there's a balance here as he loses he brings in. he's net-net expanding the size of the party until friday. the trend is the republican party is changing but potentially it could be getting bigger. everyone hates to hear it because it's a threat to people and offensive to republicans in washington but it's true. or could be true. >> tucker it's 12 hours to the debate. what are you going to do in st. louis today? >> i'm going to go for a run and take a nap and do what i always

do, i'm going to eat, movement of the day will be spent eating. >> food is fantastic. >> you have fun. thank you, tucker. >> tucker runs stairs in hotels in street clothes, that's her exercise. >> like rocky? >> yeah. he gets dressed up in a tu tu and runs stairs. >> it works. >> hurricane matthews downgraded causing a path of destruction across the east coast and threat is far from over. >> st. louis ground zero for anti-cop protests. how is the city recovering? we'll be back live in st. louis with pete and senator scott brown. ♪

allocations, we're seeing an offshore wind across hatteras that will cause storm surge. flooding will continue to be the story but for the most part it's pulling away from shore. the rain itself will be done in about the next three to four hours and we have the cleanup and those rising rivers. guys? >> thank you, rick. >> working around the clock trying to find out what's going on. let's go out to garrett in saint augustine assessing the damage. >> this past hour, president obama has signed federal disaster declarations for both georgia and florida. that will be a significant help to folks back here starting to come back home to scenes like this to assess the damage. just take a look. these bricks here you're looking at right now, earlier this week, this was a driveway that led up to this house. this is a true testament to how

storm turned out. hard to believe that when you look around at what we've got here. >> they don't feel lucky looking around there but i guess the big picture they were. thanks, garrett. >> absolutely. we've got a big final hour on tap for you. howie kurtz and judge janine pirro. we'll be back with senator scott brown. ♪ yeah, so mom's got this cold. hashtag "stuffy nose." hashtag "no sleep."

experience pivoting. he had to put in a good performance tonight anyways based on what happened at hofstra. now the bar has been raised so high, i don't know if he can clear it but he's going to try. they are going to try to change the subject -- >> he will address it? >> i don't know how he can't. it's got to come up. if the questioners don't bring it up, the moderators have to bring it up. it's the elephant in the room. >> will there be a more expansive apology? some are suggesting -- >> at the moment it's all speculation, he could say by the way on this issue i want to apologize again. the thing he has to do, he has to pivot. what the campaign is trying hard to do pivot away from the scandal last 48 hours towards what mike is talking about. the contents of the hacked e-mails and idea she's for open borders and wants to have a global marketplace. and donald trump has made the case all along that open borders will kill this country.

as for republicans defecting and leaving donald trump and they are doing it not on mass just yes but certainly the beginning of the break of the dam is happening we see kelly ayotte and john mccain saying they can no longer vote for donald trump and condoleezza rice called for him to drop out. we caught up with rudy giuliani outside of trump tower. here's what he said about all of that. >> there's nothing that's going to cause him dropping out. that's a wishful thinking of the clinton campaign. >> here's the thing for donald trump, if he dropped out now, it would have an effect way beyond politics. if he stays in and loses, that's going to have an effect beyond politics as well. but the calculation is that can't drop out now. got to go for the context and he could win as well. there are a couple of potential

outcomes. >> you know how this is a big deal? steve dooce is here all dressed up looking good. >> i actually shaved today. >> that tie has a life of its own. >> tell me about it. good morning. john and mike, set the table perfectly for us. >> that's exactly right. thank you, guys. >> among the people that are staying with him, gary bauer with the campaign for working families, another evangelical group and tony perkins not happy with the comments but staying with him as is franklin graham, robert jeffers and all ee v evangelicals and bob dole, he said those comments from 11 years ago with a strong debate tonight he could change things around. >> they don't have a choice. the voters have already spoken. they wanted donald trump and in the wake of all of this, we're too close in the election to make a change. they are saying we'll have to

change the narrative and it's going to be very important to see what he says when he comes out on the stage tonight. look at the headline on the post. i'll never drop out. donald trump said that although some are calling for him to drop out. the party doesn't have a choice. if not, the republicans can't win and they might not. >> you know, i think he kind of -- he was holed up at trump tower all of yesterday and then toward the end of the day, i think because there was such a drum beat, what's he going to do? he came outside and mobbed by supporters and gave a thumb's up, he's not dropping out at all. watch this.

him, say i'm sorry. but when you go to the polls, you have to look at both candidates and do this with every election and write down pros and cons and decide which candidate you like the best. if you look at hillary's record, you can't forget benghazi, there are four people that are dead pleading for help and more security and she didn't provide that. you can talk about her e-mail scandal and her lying to the american people about that. you have to look at both candidates and go to the polls and make your own decisions. >> there's stories there's apprentice tapes far worse than the access hollywood tapes. you don't know where this is going. >> less than 12 hours away. >> right. >> both candidates dealing with the brand-new scandals ahead of the debate. why is mainstream media only focused on donald trump. howie kurtz is here live to react. >> is that running out of batteries? ♪

wikileaks and face the nation and everybody else? >> absolutely, with two candidates in the race, both had damaging revelations on the same day friday but because it's trump and because of the subject matter and everything and also because i think a lot of journalists and pundits never liked trump, predicted he would lose, they are predicting he's going to drop out. not that's he's going to lose but drop out, going a little far and fast in my view. >> it's one thing if you're a pundit and doing that but you said journalists are giving him a push towards the exit. >> i see what reporters are saying on twitter, the end of the campaign and hints and even some of the headlines are is this the end for donald trump? you know, we've bb been through a lot of instances where they thought it would be the end. does he have a tough task at the debate tonight? absolutely. has to find a way to put this behind him and apologize and the fact that all of these republicans are bailing -- most

didn't want him in first place. it's a big story but being covered as the only story and i think that media are kind of taking a lot of joy in this. >> of course, there are a lot of questions about the timing, had the hillary clinton e-mail wikileaks been out there, this would have been what dominated the conversation going into the debate. would have been the lead story. >> mistear yusly, somebody gave the "washington post" a copy of this particular tape. he's going to be your guest on media buzz. will he tell you who he got the tape from? it doesn't tell you it came from nbc but someone at the archives. >> maybe he can shed light on timing and why nbc wasn't going to get to this until after the weekend. how do you sit on a story like this by the way? >> they were going to get to the story, whoever leaked it wanted to make sure it came out before the debate?

where's nbc been for past year, there's a lot of curious questions about the way in which this hit the air waves. >> speaking of media, billy bush, doesn't look good here. >> he's had to apologize. there was a report in the wall street journal nbc isn't going to penalize. he's co-host of the "today" show, his credibility has taken an absolute hit. he may be collateral damage. >> we'll watch later on on media buzz. straight ahead, tonight's debate in less than 12 hours, going to give voters a clear choice, half of the questions will come from a town haul audience. which will have the upper hand? we'll discuss that with our political panel next live from new york and st. louis.

tropical cyclone, that's what they are calling it now. wind and rain whipping coastal communities as the storm moves off north carolina's coast. record breaking flooding from a massive storm surge leaving cities across the southeast under water this morning. the president signing a disaster declaration for the states of florida and georgia, sending federal money their way. the storm killing more than ten people in the united states with a death toll poll possibly rising. north carolina's governor announced seven dead in that state. hundreds flying off the track in long island in new york, it collided with equipment from a parked work train. 29 people had minor injuries. the crash of that crash is not known. let's ahead over to you with a look at politics. >> thank you, heather. tonight's debate will give you the voter a voice as candidates face questions on the issues from a town hall audience. who has the upper hand when it comes to the economy and

national security and race relations? let's ask our political panel. the jessica tarlob in the middle, a democratic pollster and gop council man joe barelli, thank you for being with us this morning. the latest information, donald trump is tweeting already and this was his tweet. he basically is thanking his supporters, tremendous support except from some republican leadership. thank you. jessica, what is your reaction with that? >> only 12% of gop voters want him to drop out. we're seeing the divide between the average person and establishment or elites with all of these withdrawn endorsements. i don't think he can recover from this but it's a good sign for him from the media attention hasn't been terrible. this is going to take a few days to bake in and what happens tonight will really effect how the public takes this scandal.

>> joe, do you think after a few days we have 30 more days until the election, that's a long time in politics. do you think people will forgive him? on friday people were saying no chance. then now we're a few days later, are people starting to forgive him? >> this morning poll indicated nine out of ten republicans are willing to stand him them, that includes people maybe in this base of support that are extremely loyal and eager to vote for him. it froblly includes people who are a little disappointed by these hot mike incident but still see him as a much better alternative to hillary clinton. if you look at 2012, he's not doing worse than mitt romney did among republicans who actually voted. >> do we need to focus more on the issues and not this kind of stuff? that was 11 years ago, donald tru trump, no one said he's the pope. >> he has to acknowledge it happened and be con trite and apologize and corden off that

negative -- and generally what he represents, he's an anti-establishment candidate, bringingen anti-establishment message. he's a fixer of a broken system. super majority support or belief in the fact that the system is broken. he has to focus on that general theme and the economy and terrorism. >> i don't think she will -- >> tweeted about it but yeah. >> it was a very short tweet. >> we can't let this man be president, very terrible. >> tonight at the debate, what does she need to say? >> i think she needs to be really strong on her issues. she has increased popularity and enthusiasm since the debate. she needs to talk policy and we'll probably have a moment where she'll find some way to bring this up. i think it will be a question either from hander son cooper or town hall format. i was a victim of sexual

assault, someone grabbed me by the whatever, i'd like you to address your comments. this is 11 years ago but this is the same donald trump we've seen this whole campaign season. i've season calling twitter, the way he talks about latinos and muslims and women. he called rosie o'donnell a fat pig or said he wasn't wrong for saying that. this is different because it is more extreme. what people say in private is worse. this is not surprising. this is who donald trump is. >> we'll have to see what the voters say and what 30 days now. coming up next on the rundown, we just sent dooce on the loose, he'll introduce you to the man who makes sure everything you drink is perfect. ♪ when you have something you love,

hillary clinton getting ready to speak out for the first time tonight since wikileaks released transcripts of the speeches she gave to wall street, at least some of them. >> what exactly did they reveal about her ties to the financial sector? here to weigh in on this is maria bartiromo. >> we've been waiting for a long time and now the transcripts, the speeches she gave to the big banks is coming out. >> yeah. >> what can we learn? >> i think one thing to look at in these e-mails is okay, now we understand why wall street is always saying things like she won't be as bad as you think she will be on the banks and won't be as aggressive on regulation than you think because she says

that in the speeches. she basically says things like i come from modest beginnings but i've been living this rich life with my husband. i maybe don't relate to people who are struggling right now and maybe it makes sense for me to have a public and private stance on things like trade. i mean, that is damning right there because she was for tpp then against tpp. >> maria, in any other year this is her 47% moment. in any other cycle this would be impossible to imagine her tackling tonight? >> it's true, of course now what donald trump is saying is overshadowing this -- >> or has said. >> has said. what we talked about over the commercial break, this race is becoming a race of what he said versus what she did. and i think the trump camp is going to probably come out tonight and talk about what she did with regard to pay to play in terms of the clinton foundation with regard to what

she said about trade and jobs. this elitism and globalism, which is completely contrary to what the people want. that's why trump has been as popular as he is. >> she said recently she's not in favor of open borders but when you read the transcripts she was in favor of open borders and another transcript she was preparing for a "today" show interview and talking with brian fallon through e-mail and support of universal background checks, talking about people who want to own guns and closing the gun show loophole by executive order and imposing manufacturer liability. >> that's right. >> last one is a killer. >> a very clear indication of where hillary clinton stands on guns. not that we're surprised but to her to use the comment of executive order is really scary. >> also the interaction with cbs, they want to kill a story and want something suppressed and there was a comment secretary of state kerry's office, when the secretary of state comes up, i don't want any questions about the e-mails

about hillary clinton. and they wrote back and said we took care of that. >> as if they told the networks you don't ask us this. >> and that's basically the m.o. look, she basically told the fbi her team told the fbi, if you record this interview, she will not show up. they took care of it as they care of things. that's the problem with hillary clinton and why there's so many people who are fearful of her. >> i especially love your sunday show because i'm working while you're working. >> we have a great show in about ten minutes. we'll talk with jeff sessions, one of the first lawmakers to join the trump campaign, what he has to say as so many gop are walking away. gene speaker spur ling is coming on and we have the two chairman of the debate commission, we'll get their thoughts on this news flow happening this weekend. >> i say 100 million will be watching. >> such an important debate, this is such an important election, it's incredible.

donald trump and hillary clinton face off for the second presidential debate. why is trump getting so much more attention than hillary clinton. >> trump is getting more attention from mainstream media because it is a big story and number two, they hate trump. >> that is pretty clear. there is really no parallel or equivalent between what she has done and what he has said. locker room garbage frathouse talk. with wiki leaks another admission i don't tell the truth. i tell the american people one thing but i want open trade and open borders. it was almost as though what they did was they waited to release the trump tape until wiki leaks came out. i think this has all been

orchestrated starting with the whole thing about miss universe. when hillary brought it up in the first debate. why are they bringing this up? what they are doing is planning to create this narrative about donald trump and women. if there are more wiki leaks coming out which should be. you can bet your bottom dollar that hillary clinton and her team have a new tape every time the wiki leaks comes out. >> donald trump has said terrible things were recorded on that tape. we have heard from milania and family members who say that's not who he is. that is an apology of sorts. >> people think they have to do more. i really don't care. i have heard enough. the guy is in television. he is in entertainment. he was with a guy.

it was frathouse locker room talk. he gets off the bus in this situation and gives an air kiss to the woman as though everybody expected him to assault her. the only one that assaulted women is bill clinton and hillary clinton is complicit in that assault. if they try to turn this narrative around shame on the american people. >> does donald trump bring that up? i know there is a lot of that online right now with brodrick and jones. >> does donald bring it up? i think right now they are in the middle of a discussion. one of the last discussions with the american people. donald has to say i'm going to take care of the economy. i'm going to stop isis and just go with the issues that the american people care about, safety and pocket books. >> stick around because we want to talk about something that happened with a golf cart moments ago. >> what happened. >> we have a big finale before
