captioning sponsored by cbs >> dickerson: today on "face the nation," we'll talk to both vice president, candidates as the tone of campaign 2016 hits rock bottom. with just over three weeks to go until election day, at least nine women have accused donald trump of making unwanted advances, some charging outright assault. and the fallout has sent trump enter a flurry of counter-punches. >> all stories, all made up, lies. no witnesses, no nothing, all big lies. it's a rigged system. >> dickerson: hillary clinton faces an avalanche of e-mails hacked from her campaign chairman that shows the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of a presidential campaign. both mike pence and tim kaine will join us. then we'll go in-depth on both stories. the conservatives will talk about the state of their

and veteran journalists join us to talk about hacked e-mails and the way washington works. plus our new battleground tracker poll shows a big shift among women voters. it's all coming up on "face the nation." good morning and welcome to "face the nation." i'm john dickerson. our new battleground tracker shows a dramatic shift in key 13 states we're watching here at cbs news. the candidates were tied last month. now hillary clinton is a 46% to 40% over donald trump. that jump is due to gains from women voters. clinton has gone from a five-point edge in september to a 15-point advantage now. this following a videotape where trump boasts about groping women and allegations this week from nine women that he did just that over the last 35 years. we'll hear from both vice presidential candidates starting with donald trump's running mate, indian that governor mike pence who is campaigning in tampa. welcoming, governor.

allegations. >> thank you, john. >> dickerson: you have the tape from last week. now nine women have come forward basically claiming donald trump behaved just as he said in private. shouldn't voters at least pay attention to this and try to figure this out? are they crazy to think there might be not be something there? >> well, i think donald trump did what he needed to do last weekend. you know, i spoke out about my concern about the 11-year-old video that came forward. he went before the american people and said he his family and he apologized to the people of this country and said he was embarrassed about what he said 1 1 years ago. he made it clear it was just talk, not action. in the days that followed i know there have been unsubstantiated allegations that have been made, but donald trump has made it clear that he categorically denies those allegations, and we're going to continue to focus this campaign on frankly where the people of this country are focused, john. over the course of this last

national media, i can tell you the crowds that i saw here in florida other r -- over the last several day, the crowds gathered in new hampshire and maine last night, are focused on a stronger america at home and abroad, about reversing a court that's set parts of the world spinning apart under the foreign policy of hillary clinton and barack obama and frankly the policies that have stifled the american economy, particularly as it pertains to hillary clinton. donald trump has a message that is resonating with people all across this country. and we're going the fight the next 23 days to carry it all the way through election day. >> dickerson: let me ask you this, governor: you've spoken a lot about character as a candidate, not relative to each other but relative to a standard. in 1992 bill clinton said, "i feel your pain." he spoke for them. they said that was what's important, not these character questions.

same case for donald trump. >> not. so bill clinton didn't just talk about doing things. he did them. it took a while to find all that out. he was under oath in 1998 and he finally came clean on having taken advantage of a 23-year-old intern at the white house name monica lewinsky in the most appalling behavior by an american president in the history of this country. look, donald trump has made it very clear that he deeply regrets those words that he used 11 years ago, that they represent who he is, and that he haz-cat goreically denied these unsubstantiated allegations. it's really remarkable, though, john, is in a week where you have this series of unsubstantiated allegations, and of course there is competing evidence that's coming out regarding these particular incidents, we have an avalanche of hard evidence about hillary clinton's years as secretary of state and the clinton foundation. we found out this week because of another network's efforts

state, hillary clinton, her team directed contracts for the reconstruction of haiti after the earthquake to friends of the clintons. this is exactly the kind of political favoritism that she said wasn't happening. >> dickerson: i want to ask you about your candidate, governor. >> it's been largely ignored by this network and the mainstream media and 2 american people see right through it. >> dickerson: let me ask you about your candidate. he's responded to these "sick, horrible, phony," and he says that one of the women would not be his first choice. one of the claims you're making about hillary clinton is the way she treated bill clinton's accusers. donald trump is treating these accusers pretty roughly himself. >> donald trump has made it clear that he categorically denies --. >> dickerson: but what about the treatment of these people coming forward? >> well, but... >> dickerson: governor? >> what about calling half of our supporters a basket of

hillary clinton does it? do two wrongs make a right? >> they came out with the most anti-catholic, anti-religious rhetoric that i've ever seen in political life. the reason you see the resilience in our numbers around the country, the reason you see such determination of the american people is frankly people see an overwhelming bias in the national media, a willful ignorance about an avalanche of hard evidence about hillary clinton and the foundation and her years as secretary of state, and they end up putting above the fold and leading the news with these unconfirmed, unsubstantiated allegations. i think it's... it frankly is why we're going to continue to fight every single day between now and election day to change the direction of this country. the american people feel like in a very real sense that the democratic party and many of you in the media are working together to prevent the kind of

to see of a stronger and more prosperous america, and we're going the fight our way all the way to election day. >> dickerson: i appreciate that, governor. i'm trying to deal with what your candidate is saying on the stump in real-time right. now another thing he's saying is the election is rigged. my question is: is that a responsible thing for a candidate to say? >> well, i think what donald trump is talking about is, frankly, what appears to be the monolithic support of the national media for hillary clinton's campaign. their willful ignorance about the aval not allegations, john, but hard evidence now coming out in these e-mails of collusion and pay-for-play politics. the american people are just tired of it. >> dickerson: governor -- >> the outcome of this election, john, let me be very clear, donald trump said in the first debate that we'll respect the will of the american people in this election, the peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of american history, and elections get really tough. but the american people are

two-on-one fight with many of you in the national media doing half of hillary clinton's work for her every day. all we're asking for is whatever you want to report about our campaign, let's get out, there let's let the facts speak for themselves. but let's get before the american people this avalanche of e-mails that is confirming pay-to-play politics and outright corruption. >> dickerson: before we run out of time, governor, let me ask you a question, though. when donald trump talks about a rigged election, here's the way one of his this is a quote from "the boston globe" from a trump supporter, "i'm going to go right up behind them -- talking about being at polling places donald trump has encouraged his supporters to watch the places -- "i'll do everything legally. i want to see if they're accountable. i'm not going to do anything illegal. i'm going to make them a little bitner vows." that's what they're hearing about rigged elections. do you condone that behavior? >> certainly not. i don't think any american

exercise of their franchise to vote. but look, states like my state of indiana manage our election process, poll watching is a part of that process, and it's a message i've delivered around this country. people that are concerned about this election and about us preserving the one person, one vote that's at the very center of our american democracy should become involved, should volunteer at their neighborhood polling place. that's how we ensure the accountability. frankly, that's how we protect republicans, democrats, independents, everyone across the spectrum is served when we ensure that we have free and honest elections. >> dickerson: okay, governor, thanks so much. we've run out of time. governor mike pence. >> thank you, john. >> dickerson: and now to the other candidate for vice president, virginia senator tim kaine who joins us from miami. senator, you and your campaign have talked about these hacked e-mails of clinton campaign chairman john podesta as coming

influence of the russian government. if secretary clinton were president, what would she do to retaliate against the russians? >> well, i have not talked with hillary about this, but there does need to be a consequence. when a foreign nation tries to destabilize an american election, which is what donald trump encouraged back in late july, he said, "hey, russia, go see if you can cyber hack and find things that will help me win," but when a foreign government tries to do this, there has to be a consequence. what that consequence is, but you can't let i got unchallenged, because if you do, you could encourage more of it. >> dickerson: do you see any link between the trump campaign and these disclosures that have come out? >> i can't discern any direct link except for donald trump's encouragement. i think it was during the week of the convention in philadelphia, donald trump took a stage and he basically said, hey, i would encourage cyber hackers, russia, see if you can find information on hillary clinton that will help me win.

later when he was challenged about it, he said, well, i was just being sarcastic. i don't think it's funny when you have a nation like russia that has engaged in activity to destabilize elections in countries, ukraine, estonia, they've engaged in that activity, and somebody running to be president of the united states shouldn't be encouraging another nation to cyber hack the u.s. >> dickerson: when you look at these e-mails and the attacks, the cache of e-mail, there's a lot of effort to tell the voters d hillary clinton's apparent position is on issues from trade to the xl pipeline, efforts to dodge using a word from the e-mail on the question of the e-mail server. don't voters have a right to get the straight story from a candidate who is asking to be given so much power? >> well, i think you can ask the people involved in any of the e-mails what they think about the topics. john, here's something that we do have to just state very plainly: not only are these e-mails an effort by wikileaks

can't assume that they're all accurate. one of the e-mails that came up this week referred to me. it was completely inaccurate, and i don't know whether it was inaccurate because the sender didn't know what he or she was talking about or it had been doctored, but anybody who is going to try to cyber attack and then try to destabilize an election, you can't trust that they're going to maintain scrupulous honesty about the content of what they're dumping out for the world to see. >> dickerson: when people look at the wikileaks e-ma the standard of the conversations we should expect from the clinton administration? >> well, look, i'm not spending a lot of time looking at them for the reason that i stated earlier. i don't even assume they're all accurate. >> dickerson: let me ask you this: senator, you and others in the campaign have compared this to watergate and said the trump campaign shouldn't be making hay about these hacked e-mail, which are essentially stolen, but the clinton made a lot of hay without donald trump's tax

willingness. why are you making hay of that but not of this? >> they choose how the run the campaign. if they want the make hay they can, but here's one thing we ought to demand of donald trump, every time this comes up that these wikileaks russia documents are connected to russia, he is the only one standing on the stage to defend russia. well, we don't know that russia was involved. it might be a big guy sitting in his parents' basement. over and over again he is defending russia on this as if russia is involved even though the director of national intelligence and justice department and f.b.i. officials have connected russia to these attacks. why does donald trump keep going out of his way to defend russia on this? he should condemn russia. in fact, it's even been reported that he's received intelligence assessments laying these attacks at russia's feet, but for some reason he seems to want to defend vladimir putin. i don't get it.

wants to, but i think he ought to, instead of making weird claims that our election is rigged and challenging the integrity of the american electoral process, he should be standing up against people who are trying to destabilize our elections. >> dickerson: but the clinton campaign is saying the trump campaign is doing something wrong by talking about this, and if that's the case, then were you wrong to be talking about his leaked tax returns? >> no, because, look, i'm not saying trump is wrong to be talking about this. that's not me and i don't know that we' donald trump made a promise not voters in 2014, if i run i'm going to release my tax returns. secondly, as you know, that is the precedent for all in the modern era to release them. "the new york times" has a story that has some information about donald trump's taxes, and we think the information essentially confirms what donald trump himself said on a debate stage. when hillary clinton said you probably don't pay taxes, donald

smart." there are a whole lot of us out here that pay taxes to support our military and to support our veteran, and we don't like being called stupid by a guy like donald trump who brags about not paying taxes and stiffing our troops and stiffing veterans. >> dickerson: with respect to donald trump and these accusations about his behavior, you mentioned it shows a pattern of behavior on donald trump's part, but that's what democrats defended against with bill clinton in 1992. republicans say these allegations represent a pattern with president. if it was good enough to defend bill clinton, why isn't that a good enough defense for donald trump? >> well, first, bill clinton is not on the ballot. this is a race between donald trump and hillary clinton. and second, look, i don't reach a conclusion about any particular allegation. but you do have to look at donald trump's own words and actions. the tape that came out two fridays ago that kind of created this bombshell was not somebody else saying something about donald trump.

everybody, this is the way i treat women. and then in the debate stage last sunday, he was asked point blank, did you act in accord with what you said, and he didn't want to answer that question. he tried to avoid it a couple time, but anderson cooper pinned him down, and he looked at the camera and he said, no, i never acted that way. i talked about it, i never did it. well, you know, when you look america in the face and say, that then suddenly people are coming up here, there, all over the country saying, no, actually, that is the way donald trump acts, and it shouldn't be surprising given the way he's talked about women from the beginning of the campaign and throughout his career and frankly the way he's talked about others, as well. people can reach their own conclusion about it. but when somebody's actions are so closely connected to how he says he acts, i think people will draw the conclusion that donald trump's got a real problem in this area. >> dickerson: senator, one other question about e-mail. there's been some reports you've been e-mailing hillary clinton during the campaign and she knew

going on would anybody communicate by e-mail? >> you know, that's a really good question, john. i think all of us, until i can find a carrier pigeon that's really fast, you know, we've got to communicate, and we're not always together in person, so sometimes we talk by phone. and sometimes we'll. but i think we're all very mindful of the fact that our e-mails could be displayed in an inaccurate or highly altered we act accordingly in what we decide to send. >> dickerson: senator kaine cane, thanks for being with us. >> all right. thanks a lot. >> dickerson: the speaker of the house won't defend donald trump. the senate majority leader won't mention his name. what's happening to the republican party? we'll talk about that in one we'll talk about that in one minute. medicine. mm control i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults

like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, osteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. >> dickerson: we have greated some key voices in the conservative movement to discuss what's being called the civil war in the republican party. dr. russell moore is president of the ethics and religious

southern baptist convention. alfonso aguilar is the president of the latino partnership for conservative principles. tammy bruce is a radio talk show host and a fox news contributor and matt schlapp is the chairman of the american conservative union. tammy, i want to start with you. >> sure. >> dickerson: let's diagnose, we're all going to diagnose the moment or you all are going to diagnose the moment. what's the state of the conservative movement by the republican party? >> you know, those two are very different these days, are aren't they? i'm very much a conservative, but i'm an independent voter. a reason, because of the failure of the republican party to stop the destruction of the country by the democrats. i can tell you that 3.7 million women have been pushed into poverty since barack obama became president according to the c.e.o. of gallup. about 25 million economic lives have been destroyed. 48% of americans have a full-time job. that is the lowest since 1983. so when you look at the republicans and what conservatives have expected from the republican party is to push

laws that destroy people's lives. they have not done that. and what they're reaping now from i think the beginning of the tea party let's say in 2009 is a reaction and a rejection by the american people. they ignored it then. they should have embraced it. they ignored it in '10, '14. they're ignoring it now. donald trump is the result of being ignored, and of the american people wanting people's lives to get better and for the actual conservative ideal of which is the only thing that will save our lives. >> dickerson: alphonso, your diagnosis? >> i agree partly with that. i think that... i would-be -- i wouldn't overstate the impact of donald trump in terms of his impact in the conservative movement. the differences that i think tammy was talking about predate donald trump. and i think we can oversimplify it and say on the one hand we have an establishment that's too worried about principle, too

good conservatives who care deeply about the issues are too rigid sometimes, and in terms of the economy and income inequality and the wounds that americans are facing, they're too quick to blame trade and immigration. and that's a problem. but the good news is that between those two extreme, there are many republicans who i think after this election can steer the party and the movement in the right direction. >> dickerson: but at the moment, russell moore, we have an election going on, and you have a speaker of the house who won't defend donald trump and mitch mcconnell won't say his name. how do you see things? >> well, i think that's exactly what we see at the grassroots level. even when i'm talking to people who support donald trump, they do so with a conflicted conscience, and they do so with a certain sense of fear and trembling. but many of them are doing so that i talk to right now, especially evangelical christian, not because they think he'll win. they think he'll lose, but because they want to protest

and disastrous for many of the things that we're concerned about. one of the things that concerns me is the personal and spiritual devastation that we see happening in this election. there are friendships that have broken apart. there are husbands and wives who don't speak to each other about the election right now. and there are people who are going through a genuine sense of despair about the future of the country and about the future of their own lives when they look at the kind of cultural coarsening that would lead us to people are saying the situations with the clinton foundation and the e-mails don't matter, and on the right, there are some people who are saying these comments about women are just locker room talk. >> dickerson: i want to get to that in a moment... >> we're all living through the clinton marriage. >> dickerson: what's your diagnosis, matt? >> i agree with much of what my friends here have said. i just think, yes, obama, we have to give him credit, he got almost all his agenda through.

more legislative powers away from congress. we have a constitutional crisis on our separation of powers. it's not all the republicans' fault in congress. he went around them. he has been overturned more times by the federal courts, this person who used to teach constitutional law, than any other president. he has put us in this constitutional crisis. obama deserves much credit for trump, as well, because many of the bipartisan issues of substance, if he was really able to work with the other side on to solve a big problem. was it ent no. was it obamacare? no, democratic votes. he made big missteps for the country. it helped him politically, but the country finds itself divided like never before, and that's not what obama ran on. >> dickerson: all right. we'll come back and try to figure out how the republicans, not obama and the democrats, handled this in just a moment. we'll take a break. stay with us.
