please always remember that the spin stops here because we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight with the sexual abuse allegations against him mounting, an angry donald trump is fighting back tonight with some explosive allegations of his own, making charges that are riling up his supporters and starting to scare some of his critics. well come to the kelly file. i'm megyn kelly. mr. trump confronting serious new allegations head on. more women are coming forward formally accusing him of sexual assault. the claims range from alleged groping over an airplane 30 years ago to multiple episodes inside trump's florida home over the last decade.

hours ago at a campaign rally in florida donald trump responding, not only denying the allegations but turning on his krit uks, accusing the media, washington and the clinton campaign of working together to bring him down. watch. >> the claims are preposterous. the corporate media in our media is no longer involved in journalism. they're a political special interest, the clinton machine is at the center of the power center. hillary clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of u.s. sovereignty in order to enrich the global financial powers, per special interest friends and her donors. honestly, she should be locked

up. >> we have a huge lineup for you tonight and a lot of ground to cover. in moments we'll be joined by the deputy editor of people. one of his reporters is accusing donald trump on the record of forcibly kissing her more than a decade ago. next we'll speak to marc thiessen and prez secretary on what we're see in the poll to night. plus katrina pearson, the trump campaign national spokesperson is here and charles krauthammer takes a step back. but first we begin with new reaction to trump's remarks today, which some of the media criticize as hateful, contempt chus. ben, let me start with you because the anti-defamation league isment cog out speaking out about donald trump's language in that sound bite you just heard there saying we need to avoid rhetoric and troops that have been historically used

against jews and spur antisemitism. keep hate out of this campaign. your thoughts on trump's tone and rhetoric today. >> i'm more concerned that donald trump is constantly talking about conspiracies that are going to overwhelm the voter, how the american people with being victimized by shadows beyond their control. as far as the illusion to international bankers, aassume he's talking about goldman sachs. the conspiracies at large don't speak well of his campaign and don't speak well of the people buying into them. >> ben, you used to work for breitbart and and steve banner is now running the campaign, the critics say that that speech was right out of the alt-right play book, that message we're hearing which has been criticized as

having racial under tones. did you hear that or is that not fair? >> i'm always hesitant to cite anti-semiism for rhetoric like that. donald trump's campaign has been sort of a burn it down mentality. this is not about winning an election. this is about rallying a group of supporters in order to believe that donald trump is being destroyed by some evil conspiracy that stabbed him in the back before he loses so he can go back to those people and mark it off of them or declare victory even if he gets destroyed at the polls. >> he's obviously feeling angry and feeling conspired against and one gets the impression he can feel it slipping away right now. but that's query whether this kind of a speech is going to help him win voters. >> honestly if you look at the media and the wikileaks

releases. the idea that they're talking about the women, for example, the women who were obviously collaborated and coordinated to make the simultaneous statements about events that happened ten, 30 years ago, you know, the idea that they're giving that all of the attention instead of the extraordinary weight that the wikileaks statements and release of the e-mails have, it's ridiculous. the clinton campaign operatives dirty fingerprints are all over these women's statements, their interviews. there's no question about it. this is all about trying to destroy donald trump. and if these were credible, why weren't there any criminal complaints filed in why weren't there any civil suits. >> you know very well the reason for that. you know the fact that a woman doesn't come forward when she's been sexually grope doesn't mean it didn't happen. >> but on an airplane? >> with an understanding that they likely will be attacked brutally if they come forward. >> but that's one thing.

but to release a statement 30 days from the election when the wikileaks stuff is coming down on hillary clinton like a comet out of the sky, i'm sorry, i've got a big problem with that. >> when, we've covered wikileaks. that was our lead last night. we covered trump too. but there is a point, that the wikileaks news has been largely ignored by many media outlets. >> i agree that the wikileaks has been undercovered by the media. no question. but the idea that the media wasn't going to be against the republican nominee. i'm not sure what world we're living in anymore. yes, donald trump has been attacked by the media. but the person who is mainly responsible for stabbing donald trump is donald trump who continues to stab himself in the chest with his own libido. you do that for to years and you're surprised when somebody brings it up a month before the election. it's not a he said/she said. it's a he said and she confirmed. there's no tape last friday,

he's not pressed by anderson cooper denying that this happened. the media was going to drop every woman who kissed forcibly on him. trump should have known this was going this way. and to claim it's a victimization campaign with trump at the center, welcome to politi politics. >> welcome to dirty politics. >> one woman said she called them. the people magazine said she had the same reaction. there isn't evidence of collusion. you just suspect it but there's no evidence of it. >> for them to all come out simultaneously -- >> right after he denied it at the debate. >> 30 years ago. she had no credibility. she said he was on first class on an airliner when trump sexually assaulted, groped her, nothing ever happened, no one saw it, there were no witnesses, absolute garbage. >> david, can i just can you, was there a witness to juanita

broderick? >> megyn, don't know but there's a lot more attention -- >> the trump supporters are willing to belief her. you can't have it both ways. >> did bill clinton deny juanita broderick? i don't recall him denying. i just remember his silence. >> you have to complain, you have to make a record of it when it happens otherwise it didn't happen. good to know. i know you know that's not true. >> lose your credibility if you don't. that's all. in a four-way contest hillary clinton is leading trump nationally by seven points. he had only a two-point lead last week and that enthusiasm gap that's plagued mrs. clinton this entire race is apparently gone. marc thiessen is a fox news contributor, and former traveling press secretary for hillary clinton's 2008 campaign.

executive director of -- too long. let's talk about the polls. let's start with the enthusiasm gap that we just talked about. that was the thing -- there it is right there. that was the thing he really had over her. look at that, usinged to have a 13-point advantage other her october 3rd. and now she has a three-point advantage over hum on enthusiasm. >> it's hard to be enthusiastic about your candidate when he's constantly imploding. just the last couple of weeks, donald trump had a terrible debate with hillary clinton, then he spent days attacking miss universe, then a video emerges about him bragging about groping women, then he spends days attacking rchs who distance themselves from him because of his bragging about groping women and the result is he's going down in the polls, 12 points among women age 35 and older, 7

points among white women, down 6 points with gop women. the only thing that's shocking is that it hasn't gone down further. you've got a situation where you have hillary clinton is the second most up popular person ever in history to run for president but she's got the luck of being running against the most unpopular person ever to run for president of the united states. >> moe, you tell me. what are we seeing. do you anticipate that trump is seeing some internal numbers that are worse than these and that's causing him to lash out? we just got numbers today from bloomberg on pennsylvania and pennsylvania which has been neck in neck just a couple of weeks ago is clinton 51, trump 52. this's almost a 20-point gap in her favor when it comes to women. they're tied when it comes to men. he's got a one-point advantage with men. and by way among women, 69% of pennsylvanians say they were

bothered a lot by that access hollywood tape. >> i don't know if he's seeing numbers that are worse. it's hard to believe that he could be. these numbers are absolutely brutal. and you're right. it's not just the national numbers. we're seeing it in the states. the one battleground state that in the last couple of weeks the trump people could sort of hang their hat on was ohio. and the latest poll shows that his lead there has evaporated and it's dead even. i think he's got a one-point lead there. no republican has ever lost college educated women, right? that is sort of a bedrock of the high pressu republican coalition and he's losing them badly. a double digit drop in the last week. >> marc, the republicans who think that somehow they're going to make a point by voting democrat up and down the ticket could possibly give hillary

clinton the house and senate, your thoughts on that. >> it's an absolute disaster. if you think about what will happen if hillary clinton is elected, especially if he gets a republican house and senate, he's going to replace antonin scalia and shift the court in a liberal direction for a generation and she may -- you think about it, justice ginsberg, justice breyer and kennedy are all in their 80s. they could retire at any time. she could potentially nominate four supreme court judges. this implosion trump is having is horrific. the fox news poll shows that almost 50% of republicans wish somebody es was their nominee. and they're right. if scott walker or marco rubio in george pataki was running right now he would be crushing hillary clinton. but donald trump seems to be the only one who can save hillary clinton from herself. >> moe, do you think there's any chance that the democrats take

the senate and or the house? >> i sense sort of a balance in democrats over the past week. there are a number of senate races and house races that weren't top tier that suddenly democrats are starting to invest money in. it's certainly looking doable. >> good to see you both. one of the most explosive charges against trump comes from a people magazine reporter saying frusay ing trump groped her at mar-a-lago. the deputy deposit tore from people magazine is here to talk about what happened since that reporter came forward. you heard mr. trump making charges against the media today. is he right? we'll check the record in a moment. don't go away. >> let's be clear on one thing. the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism.

in 2005 people magazine writer natasha stoynoff was sent to trump's estate to profile his first year of marriage with melan melania. during the interview stoynoff was left alone with the mogul when melania went up to change or wardrobe. that's when the reporter claims that trump pinned her against the wall and started kissing her. i wasn't in a locker room when he pushed me against the wall. i was in his home as a professional and his beautiful pregnant wife was just upstairs. those allegations are now being addressed by trump who adamantly denies the charges. >> why didn't they make it part of the story. i was one of the biggest stars on television with "the apprentice" and it would have been one of the biggest stories of the year. by the way, the area was a public area. people all over the place. these people are horrible people. they're horrible, horrible liars. and interestingly, it happens to

appear 26 days before our very important election. isn't that amazing? >> joining me now people magazine deputy editor. natasha now coming out with her story. first let me ask you, did you know about this prior to her writing it? >> only very recently. i hadn't known it at the time. we didn't work together at the time. this is something she kept very private for many years. >> what made her want to write it now? >> well as you said at the top of the hour very clearly, the release of the tapes, the bush tapes, the access hollywood conversation and when donald trump responded to a question at the presidential debate and said that he had never touched or kissed a woman without her consent. and i think that made her very determined to tell her tale. >> what about earlier in the campaign, j.d. his treatment of women has been

an issue for a long time. why didn't she come forward earlier? >> well i think the reason why forward. she has felt a great deal of shame, fear. she was not a public person in that way. she's not a political person. it bothered her. it increasingly did bother her. but until he actually said those words that we all heard on the tape, she thought that, you know, she might have been an isolated case. she doubted herself. hearing that articulation of what he said was his behavior confirmed for her that this was a his modus op ran die with women. that was a relief for her. and then when she heard him say no, i've never done this. that was a call for her to speak her truth. >> she writes about anytime the

piece saying like many women i was ashamed and blamed myself for his transgression. i minimized it. it's not like he raped me. i was afraid that a powerful man would discredit and destroy me, especially if i got his coveted feature killed. now today we heard from trump. she had been covering him for a quite a bit when this happened and this is what he said about her. listen. >> take a look. you take a look. look at her, look at her words. you tell me what you think. i don't think so. i don't think so. >> do you think that's a reference to her appearance? >> u think it's hard to mistake what that's a reference to. and i would say to your guest at the top of the hour as to why women don't come forward, i think that's a pretty good illustration of why she felt she couldn't come forward. >> do you think she's going to come out and speak publicly on camera? >> listen, you know, i don't really know. this has been a very difficult

journey for her. i think that she, you know, she is a journalist, a professional. she works very hard at her job. she had something happen to her that was upsetting and this is a new role for her. i don't think that she feels quite comfortable being exposed. i think if you asked anybody in that position what that exposure feels like, it's not easy. i want to underscore because this had been discussed earlier within she had no awareness, we had no awareness of other women's stories. there's no coordination with anyone. this is a person we worked with. >> no one reached out to you from the clinton campaign? >> absolutely not. we're not a political magazine >> you want to sell magazines. you don't want to pick a side in a political election. >> by way, mr. trump has been covered pretty glowingly by big media for many years. that's a strange thing to say.

this was one person's story, a story we thought was important to tell. >> thank you for being here. joining me now, katrina pearson. trump campaign national spokesman. katrina, why would this woman, at great harm to herself, come out 11 years later and make an accusation like this? >> i'm not going to sit here and pretend to know anyone's motive for doing anything that they do. what i will say is the question is, 26 days before the election. and they all have the exact same answer. it was the debate. i'm not buying that. mr. trump denied that. the witness she named thaz come out and denied this publicly. saying that never happened, mr. trump never treated a woman like that. >> the butler? >> absolutely. >> she doesn't say the butler saw trump trying to shove his tongue down her throat.

trump looked at her and said have you ever been for steaks, i'll take you. we're going to have an affair, i'm telling you. he said you remember, best sex i ever had. it's very detailed. i mean i'm not saying it ie true. i don't know whether it's true or not true. but it's certainly very detailed, is it not in. >> just like within the last hour one of the other women has already changed her story. no it's definitely not true or true. mr. trump denied this. i take him at his word. >> why don't you take him at his word on the bus where he says he does do this in. >> because that was on a hollywood access bus, he was with another guy doing what guys do. whether you like it or not, that's how it happens. >> the fact that they were having a private conversation leads many to believe that what he said was true. this is guy to guy -- >> no, megyn. two guys talking about girls one upping each other, making each

other laugh, that's a little different. it's not like they were plotting on how to go about doing it. that's completely different. in this case mr. trump denied the allegations. >> he's denied them all. we don't know whether they're true. we don't have time to adjudicate these matters one by one before election day. >> that's my point. >> and trump finds himself in an impossible position because all he can do is say it's not true and we're not going to have an adjudication. >> the american people are a little smarter than that. this did happen on the exact same day that wikileaks came out. we found out the corruption and the lies and collusion between the clinton campaign and media as well as the banks, they don't want to talk about this. tonight i'm here in north carolina. remember the hurricane that came through? 23 people died. the trump women's tour has left the campaign this week because people are hungry here. food banks are trying to feed 600 families this week and the

rirs still haven't receded. we have a prb problem in the united states and our countrymen don't need the people of north carolina need help because they're no focused on what hillary clinton wants to allege about donald trump. it's disgusting. >> thanks for being here. >> great to be here. the string of accusations being made against trump are raising legal questions. could some of these cases be considered criminal sexual assault. good to see you, professor. let's start with that and then i want to get to the defamation case he's threatening against the times. would this be -- if he grabbed this people magazine reporter and kissed her against her will is it sexual assault? >> certainly can be assault. usually state laws refer to touching sbit may parts, breasts or buttocks. but the level of sexual assault is relatively low. what was described on the plane

by ms. leeds, it would likely satisfy that definition. she said he reached under her skirt and fondled and groped her. >> but that happened 30 years ago and would be outside the statute of limitations. >> it's outside the statute of little takes for a civil suit. it's not outside of the statute of limitations for the criminal. it wouldn't make a good case to prosecute because there weren't any witnesses, contemporary objections. this is not something that will likely occur. he can tweet himself into litigation. these women certainly have seen the statute of limitations expire. but if he attacks these women, they can allege defamation of their own and he could find himself as a defendant in these cases. >> let's talk about that. trump is a litigious man.

people are afraid to come after him because they're afraid they're going to get sued and indeed they might. the "the new york times" might get sued. he sent a threatening letter to the times which first broke the news of the two women, one a 22-year-old secretary said he grabbed herb and kissed her in the lobby of trump tower and one saying he groped her 30 years ago on a plane. explain. >> well, there is a point where litigious becomes frivolous. when you file frivolous lawsuits you can be hit with sanctions. i don't see the basis for suing the "the new york times." ironically, it was the "the new york times" that was the plaintiff in "the new york times" versus sullivan which set the standard for defamation. >> which basically means you cannot sue a pub luck figure -- a public figure cannot sue for defamation unless you can prove that the person was out to get them and consciously printed something that was false. but the times could turn around and seek so much discovery against him because they can

defend themselves with the defense that this is true. they're going to try to prove this was true. >> it would be a field day for the "the new york times." the "the new york times" is reporting correctly that women accused a presidential candidate of sexual assault. now that's news on any level. i mean you can't argue that that's not news. they weren't saying these were true. they were reporting something that's significant. mr. trump has every right to say this doesn't happen. these things happened 30 years ago. but to say that the "the new york times" shouldn't report that is a bit odd. you can question the timing. i can see that. but to sittiuggest that a newsp should be sued for reporting something of that kind is very disturbing. >> the times is welcoming it. they want him to sue and here we are 26 days out. great to see you, professor turley. >> thanks megyn. we've seen already some troubling things in this white house race. it's going to a much darker

new reaction to how to media is handling the latest sexual assault allegations against mr. trump. joining me now to discuss it, monica crowley, kat sims and krystal ball. monica, you've been a defender of trump all along and yet also a defender of women. and so i'm very curious as to your take on this. you have at least six women now coming forward on the record. do you think it was all coordinated? do you believe that in. >> well presidential campaigns have always involved some october surprises to try to derail other candidates. that's just the way the game is played, whether you like it or not. but when you look at the pattern here, what you see is three days before the first debate the "the

new york times" publishes the tax return story and then two days before the second debate you have the access hollywood tape leaked even though they had it since august. and a couple of days before the debate you have the "the new york times" publishing these allegations from these women. it does look like a coordinated attack. and given the wikileaks disclosures of the scandalous collusion between the media and the hillary clinton campaign, i think it does raise a lot of issues. this is not a coincidence. but every presidential campaign and candidate have to deal with things that are thrown at them. the question is not what they're hit with. the question is how they respond. >> kat, you went on a tweet storm last night that got a lot of attention. you were taking issue with the attempt to discredit all of these accusers by just saying why did they wait so long, why did they wait so long, why did they wait so long. >> yeah, a coordinated attack. that's really taking it pretty far. it's typical for women in this

situation to wait so long. the whole reason that powerful women -- powerful men go off less powerful women is because they don't have power and they can't say anything. of course when that guy is about to become the president and when they have an audio tape of him bragging what he did, that might spur them. and yes when one comes forward it makes it easier for others to come forward. it's possible that maybe a 22-year-old didn't at the time feel comfortable taking on a billionaire with a lot of influence and power when she was a secretary and at least consider that and think about it before making accusations like saying it's a coordinated attack. these women aren't having fun. look at my twitter mentions for even saying that. >> by the same token, the same thing is true of juanita jones, they're getting attacked too. >> that's absolutely the case.

i'm not here to defend bill clint clinton. right now what we have is a presidential candidate who brag and now we've had woman come out. imagine you're an ordinary citizen living a private life. can you imagine how scary it would be to inject yourself in the middle of the campaign and be scrutinized, having your private nervous publinformation >> monica, i'll give you the last word. you've seen prominent women come under attack relentlessly that he never let up on for months and months. i'm not just referring to yours truly. tell me how the 22-year-old secretary was feeling coming forward accusing him. >> none of us know the truth about any of this. we weren't in the room so we

don't know. we're in a he said/she said situation. from a lit call standpoint it's a question of how donald trump is going to handle this going forward. there could be something of a backlash effect if voters start to perceive that this is a pile on and it could actually perform the impossible -- >> more evidence agu're saying evidence against somebody is going to make people think he's not guilty? what planet -- >> the backlash acted in bill clinton's favor. >> more evidence, more people accusing him, you think it's going to make him look more sympathetic? >> that's what happened with bill clinton, it had a backlash effect. up next, charles krauthammer on 2016 and america. man: dear mr. danoff, my wife and i are now participating in your mutual fund. we invested in your fund to help us pay for a college education for our son.

weeks, we've already seen a troubling white house race go to a much darker place on both sides. while the littics have had a field day with trump supporters and his treatment of women, the clinton campaign has some serious issues of its own, including questions about her honesty, foundation and how her team views people of faith. joining me now, charles krauthammer. if there's one thing i hear from people more than anything else on the streets these days is they feel disgusted thaw they can't wait for this thing to end and they feel, they feel low, they feel grossed out by the state f 0 our electoral politics. do you think it's particularly bad this time this year. >> well it is particularly bad. this is the, i would say, lowest least honorable political campaign i've seen in 35 years. but the good news is that it is reflected in the fact that these

are the two most unpopular candidates. there is a sense if the country this is particularly bad. it would be worse if that weren't true. and i think what you have also is on two sides the worst of our politics. with the clintons and what we're see in the e-mails is mostly insider baseball. but it shows the utter rank cynicism of hillary clinton and that's one of the reasons her ratings are so low. on the trump side it's now gone way beyond cynicism into squaller. that's really where we are. and he's insisting on bringing down the house upon him like solomon, meaning bringing her down, her husband down, the republican party down. this is an all-out fight of a man with his back against the wall. and you are right, after a day or two of this people feel they want to take a shower. but i would tell you this does not -- there are going to be people who are going to draw

historical lessons from this. i think not. this is an example of what can happen in a celebrity soaked culture, in a place where reality television has such a great influence, and we are seeing a monstrous soap opera on the stage. i suspect future candidates are not going to want to repeat either of their performances. >> how did we get this point. we were just talking about the race in 2012 when it was about capital and whether barack obama was running an empirical presidency. how did we fall so far so fast? >> well because on one side you have a very cynical politician in hillary clinton who doesn't have a message because, as we see in her own e-mails, they're not even sure why she's running with, what she stands for.

it's all con trooid, atritvecon out. on the other sides we have a reality television star who has no qualities that would make him fit for the office, is without a doubt the least qualified and the least temp mentally fit for office that we've seen in a long time. you put them together and you have a campaign with no substance. it might have started out with substance, you know, and essentially you could say immigration or trade. essentially what is happening to some parts of the white electorate, also nonwhite wh who are being left behind. but we're nowhere near discussing that. we're at the bottom of the barrel. the choice of the candidates. and it is quite remarkable that the parties have elected the weakest possible candidates for their side and the only one who would have a chance of winning

because the other side is nominated a weaker candidate. >> now with 26 days to go you can feel the populous bracing itself, charles, bracing itself for what's next at the debate or is there another october surprise, or how low can they go. have we hit rock bottom or are we going even deeper. >> no. there is no -- in this campaign there is no visible bottom. we'll only hit bottom on election day because there will are no time to go any lower. but the trajectory is only one way. and trump is ready to bring down the house. bring down almost literally the house around him. he's bringing out, you know, parading around with accusers of clinton, fine. but then when other people accuse him of similar behavior, he calls them liars and promises to bring evidence. why doesn't he bring it now. isn't this time to bring it?

look, this has sunk so low that i agree with you, i don't know of anybody who doesn't want to see this end as quickly as possible. but again, i don't believe in apocalyptic thinking. this is not something people are going to draw great statements about our. tic politics. it's the celebrity madness, the fact that trump won the nomination in the first place. but i think americans -- churchhill once said americans end up doing the right thing after they've tried everything else first. well this is trying everything else first. we're right in the middle of it and it is ugly. >> perhaps the right thing is coming our way, when and in what form remains to be seen. charles, great to see you. >> my pleasure. imperial presidency, not empirical. like a king.

speaking of kings, brian kilmeade is here on the sudden downfall of the once beloved ken bone. say it ain't so. that's next.

one more question from ken poen about energy policy.

ken? >> what steps will your energy policy take to meet our energy needs while at the same time remaining environmentally friendly and minimizing job los for fossil power plant workers. >> with that one question ken bone went from audience member at last week's debate to instant media star. but in a tale as old as time, it wasn't long before the hero became the villain. brian kilmeade is here on the rise and fall of ken bone. brian? >> this isn't an easy story for me to do. let's start with the back story. cue the music. ken bone gets the word that he's needed for the audience. yes he's an undecided voter. one of 40 to make the cut. ken knows exactly what he's going to wear. going to be the olive green suit. the problem, he's gained 757 pounds since that picture. rips the seat out of the pants of that suit.

one place to go. kohl's where he gets a sweater that almost fits him. it's a red sweater, pulls it over and jet zahns himself into the sweater where in that red sweater he sits for one hour, one hour he sits waiting for his moment and then suddenly it happens. cue the different music. he would take the energy topic and suddenly america would fall in love with the man, with the square white boxy figure and the unique look, he would have the instant fame of a kardashian, doing interview after interview. suddenly an sponsorship deal. when asked ken who he would vote for, he said uber. uber select. he has a halloween costume, a female costume and before it could hit the shelves, it flew off the shelves exactly like ken

bone. much better abs that ken bone. a ken bone is not just undecided he's an ignorant bone head, he asked a bad question. he's got all of the clicks in the world and it shows that the media that created trump created ken bone. his star has dimmed. soon it will be destroyed. welcome to america 2016. good-bye, ken bone. we barely knew ya. >> nicely done, brian kilmeade. come on, don't be shy. i can see this is going to be the basis for your next novel. ken bone is going to be a star yet. thank you, sir. >> i got to go. >> we'll be right back.
