it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> secretary clinton -- >> and that was just the taste of the hard tone of the second presidential debate. >> but it was donald trump who went on the offensive for his grossly made comments by gathering a group of women who are accused bill clinton of exual misconduct. breaking overnight. defensive efforts taken against two missiles in the reddey. plus, aftermath of hurricane matthew is causing record flooding and heart-pounding rescues. we'll tell you who's at risk.

two debate down, one to go. till a lot of undecided rotors out there. >> the country wakes up after a dark, contentious, and thoroughly bitter face' off between the nation's leading presidential candidates as donald trump and hillary clinton pars in the most heated debate we may have evereen. >> honest abe never lied. it's the big difference between abraham lincoln and you. >> it is sort of amusing for someone who never paid taxes in maybe 20 years talking about what he's going to do. >> you were in total contact with the white house, and adlai, obama probably till listens to you. i don't think he'll be listening to you very much anymore. >> donald says he knows more about isis than the generals. no, he doesn't. >> we have a divided nation, and believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart and when she said deplorables. he meant it. >> the presidential campaign

uncovered tape of 2005 of a aceshollywood segment caught trump making rulger comments toward women, at one point even boasting of his ability to grab women by their yen atles. and it sparked a massive outcry. quickly becoming the top issue of the campaign. access hollywood is owned by nbcuniversal. trump defended that crude language from the 2005 ridio. >> just for the record, though, are you saying what you said on that bus 11 years ago that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent? >> i have great repeat for women. nobody has more respect for women than i do. >> so, for the record, you never did that? >> frankly, you hear these things, i said it. i was embarrassed by it, but i are tremendous repect for himmen. >> have you ever done those things in.

af. we're going to are borders, which we don't are now. >> we are polling to how much damage that had on rotors. >> clinton claimed a richtry after the debate aing this hortly after. >> i saw what i expected to see. said was this is something that i have been saying since june. he's not fit to be president and commander in chief. and there are a lot of people who said it before and increasingly more adding that to the chorus. >> trump's 2005 comments, the elephant in the room all night, have now cost him dearly with some nearly 50 republicans.

prominent gop voices who are demanding trump drop out or they won't vote for him. even his running mate, mike pence, calling his comments inexcusable. and during the debate, trump outright rejected one of pence's key points. >> let me repeat the question. if you were president, what would you do about syria and the humanitarian crisis in aleppo. i want to remind you what your running mate he said provocations by russia need to be met with american strength and if russia continues to be involved in air strikes along with the syrian government forces of assad, the united states of america should be prepared to use military force to strike the military targets of the assad regime. >> okay. he and i haven't spoken and i disagree. >> you disagree with your running mate? >> after the debate, pence

running mate donald trump on a big win. proud to stand with you as we make america great again. this morning, there are reports pence is cancelling a fund-raiser and campaign stop in new jersey later today. trump did his best to appeal to his base in one key moment when he said if he wins, he will pursue charges over claims clinton used a private e-mail serve r. >> it's awfully good someone trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you would be in jail. >> and the new york post quickly pounced with this headline, but that exchange is just at number three of the top moments of the night, with trump calling himself a gentleman number two. trump disagreeing with pence was the top tweeted moment. what was not included was trump boasting about the little we know about whether he pays

loss to avoid paying federal income taxes? >> of course, i do. of course, i do. and so do all of her donors or most of her donors. i will tell you, number one, i pay tremendous numbers of taxes. i absolutely used it, and so did warren buffett and george sorose, and many people who hillary is getting money from. >> if that wasn't enough, prior

hillary clinton's response to the attacks against her and her husband. >> so much of what he just said is not right, but he gets to run his he gets to decide what he wants to talk about instead of answering people's questions, talking about our agenda, laying out the plans we have that we think can make a better life and a better country. that's his choice. when i hear something like that, i'm reminded of what my friend michelle obama advised us all. when they go low, you go high.

immediately after had clinton beating trump with 47% saying clinton won. 42% siding with trump. and a new cnn/orc poll had clinton on top with 57% and 34% for trump. however, a majority, 63%, said trump did better than they expected. >> and now to a developing story we're following overnight as a u.s. naval destroyer was fire upon in the red sea. >> fi still rising in the aftermath of hurricane matthew. the death toll across four southeastern states stands at 19, and more than 2 million homes and businesses are still without power. in north carolina, there were nearly 1,000 rescues in a single 24-hour period after more than a foot of rain fell in some cities. rivers and dams are swoeling and forecasters are warning of historic flooding to come. >> in haiti, the death toll from
