this is 9news. >> let's go! >> caught, touchdown. >> moves the football for a short gain. >> taylor has it stripped. >> caught, touchdown denver! >> batted down at the 6-yard line incomplete, and to san diego. >> hi everybody and welcome to broncos tonight. drew soicher, rod mackey, mike klis, and chad brown, the broncos spent two days in second place this week, which was terrifying. head coach gary kubiak is expected to return to the team tomorrow. what's the very first thing he ought to work on? >> he better go talk to the big guys up-front. the running game is struggling, not a lot of time to throw the football, and

in, in san diego, is too many mistakes and at bad times. >> i think he should change the defer strategy where they -- what did einstein say about kicking off? if you keep doing it over and over again and you expect a different result or something, it's insane. these guys keep winning the coin toss, kicking off, and the other team has the ball seven, eight minutes. half the first quarter is over and they're down 7-0. >> if going into the line of the offensive line coach, and we will not leave that office until we figure out a way to help this line and give those guys more protection. >> trevor siemian looked to me like he came from injury too soon. do broncos win that with paxton lynch as the starting quarterback? >> it was the same games the week before. >> they didn't win. >> starting with the middle of

falcons, this game it was 21-3 before they started coming back. they were kind of the same games in that the broncos weren't ready, at least their play showed they weren't ready at kickoff. you could feel it in the stadium when the other team controls the first quarter and a half, that the broncos are in trouble. and that's what happened here the last two games. >> both our young quarterbacks, we've got to give young support. receivers -- give us an opportunity for 3rd and short instead of 3rd and long. >> trevor was not 100%. he wouldn't admit it afterwards. decamillis saying the same thing. he was not 100%. the only place i perhaps would have put paxton is that hail mary at the end. >> broncos win that game if

>> no. which peyton manning? last year's or -- >> last year. >> no. >> with gary kubiak gone i think they could have used peyton manning in that locker room. he's the leader. without gary kubiak, peyton manning was the second biggest leader that this team had the last four years. they could have used him. >> broncos win that game with mark sanchez at quarterback? >> no way. >> keep going. you didn't go to tebow. >> in the last second, exactly. not even worth asking. the locker room after a loss is not a happy place. it actually wasn't too bad, though, after that first defeat against atlanta. but after back to back set- backs, it's getting worse. it is over in san diego. the broncos drop one here by a final score of 21-13. >> i'm sick to my stomach, man. it's sickening.

that's a bunch of war daddies in there that fight. i wish we could have done more to help them. >> reporter: the scoreboard said the chargers beat the broncos, but the broncos have no one to blame but themselves. >> we had a lot of self- inflicted wounds. those are tough to overcome. we didn't make the most of our opportunities, i thought. early in the game, we showed a lot of resilience at the end but it was too little, too late. >> wide open to c. anderson. breaks a tackle, inside the 10, anderson inside the 5, c.j. anderson to the end zone, touchdown denver! 20 yards and a penalty flag in the back field. >> i just sought, and i said, if that's how the night was going for me -- it happened, and i went away from it, and i tried to make more plays with the opportunities i got after that. >> 15 straight division road wins. the streak napped.

in the division forever. >> y'all jinxed us. early in the week i told you we didn't want to talk about it. but it is what it is. i'll take some other accomplishments that we have as a team. >> we don't lose. it's all division opponents. definitely tough that we did lose today. we've got to bounce back on houston and play better. >> now it is time to get ready for brock and win. we're playing the texans. not brock and the texans. we're playing the texans. complete team. we have to be there offensively and defensively and special teams. >> fascinating team from at chad brown 94. it reads, o-line problems are talent and skills based. defense issues are scheme and game plan based. one can be fixed. one won't be.

>> okay. sitting here with the blue shirts, tight ends, safeties, with the chargers they did the same thing. that will be fixed with a longer week of preparation. there's certainly talent on the defensive side of the football. >> sure. >> but with the line issues, getting beat in one-on-one situations. their skill set is not good enough for the broncos to win this division. that defense will be fixed. >> the offensive line was terrible most of last year, and they won the super bowl. >> right. well, the -- it's hard for me

playing. >> i think they've got an elixir in brock osweiler coming to town. i think the broncos, it will get their attention. two lose, it better have gotten their attention. plus they get gary kubiak back. morale-wise, things are going to point upwards. kubiak, brock osweiler. you've got to be frustrated at the two losses. i think they will bring their best game on monday night. >> i saw more frustration in time. but the panic is still not there. remember last season they lost back-to-back games twice. when you lose the first one, lose the second one, they bounce back, win a couple more. if you would lose a third game, especially against brock, especially at home on a monday night, all bets are off. then panic sits in. >> chad, real quick how do you fix this deal where the other team scores on the first drive every game? >> you've got to find a way to

emfew since. maybe they do the most physical part of practice first. do some things like that to get this defense operating on a high level from the very first play. >> if you drive a pickup truck we're going to need your help moving a few things next. >> one, two, three! most people hate to move, bu returns, we will show you a group of guys who embrace it every week. >> guests of "broncos tonight" receive a gift from concord

we we, everybody. the players said they liked those all orange unis, but because they lost in them the broncos may never ever break them out again. the equipment staff set up the locker room before every single game, and in san diego, our 9news cameras tagged

>> usually about 45 minutes from when the truck gets here. so the mercy of traffic and all that but once it hits the dock, about 45 minutes. we do have it down to a science. get a lot it's nice coming in where we're familiar with, too. sometimes you don't after choice. it just happens to be the truck gets here before you get changed, so you just keep rolling. >> you've got to look nice. >> not gonna lie, it looks pretty cool. >> how we look over here, boys? >> we're missing number 8. >> you guys had those bags

>> you want both or just one? >> just one is fine. >> i think they're bold statements. it's going to be fun. i think the helmet is the crowning piece, obviously, as much as i dislike that d logo, it really looks good on that navy helmet. sometimes we surprise ourselves. it gets done quicker than even we expect. >> now we're going to in-n- out. there you go. >> double double, hold the onions, please. chad, do the players have any idea how hard these guys work behind the scenes? >> they do. the players appreciate it.

coach appreciates the equipment guys, because they get a chance to hear the conversations. oftentimes coaches use the equipment guy as a locker room mole. >> interesting. brock osweiler returns to denver a week from tomorrow for the first time since joining the texans. osweiler is one of the lowest rated quarterbacks in the nfl but would the broncos be better right now had he stayed? >> my answer is going going to surprise you because i'm the big siemian backer, knew the offense. i think the answer is yes. everything here fit him better. he was kind of pave fit. i think yes the broncos would be better with brock osweiler. >> we'll go two for two. no question about it. i set all off season long that he would outplay whoever the broncos eventually name as starter. he fits in. >> count me in, too. >> i think siemian is better

>> the contrarian. >> without brock osweiler paxton lynch never happens. he's plan a, so they don't go after paxton lynch. >> understood. >> i think the combination of siemian and paxton lynch for the price, it's like 2.5 million. the broncos are getting way better bang for the buck. >> colin kaepernick played for the first time since refusing to take a pay cut. would the broncos be tt taken the deal? >> just tell me we would have been kaepernick's first start. he really was physically unable to play until this week. so no, they would not be in a better position if colin kaepernick was the quarterback. >> i'm just glad he wasn't because we really would have had a national lampoon storm to cover. brandon marshall was kind of part 2 on that, but it's the same thing.

kaepernick -- no. >> 9news at 10:00 continues right after a photo finish.

>> it's a wrap. >> i know. >> just like that. it was a hot one, though. a look at the headlines for the start of the week. we're going to be watching gusty winds, strong, especially in the metro. 50-mile-per-hour gusts by tomorrow afternoon. stronger in the mountains, then the middle of the week we get this nice little cool-off, refreshing, then, you guessed it, temperatures warming right back up. you can see this one system that cruises right by and then delivers those gusty winds. the next one going to be that wednesday store. high pressure lurking off to the west. that once again returns bringing us the heat. do you see that purple in the far left-hand side of the screen? >> yes, ma'am. >> that's halloween, my friend. that's going to be a strong storm potentially just in time for that holliday. so low 60s on tuesday, a few showers, as i mentioned, but keeler on wednesday at 55. and then the temperatures warm right back up. boom, like that.

tailgating, or maybe just out and about, beautiful, shorts. >> absolutely. >> short sleeves. >> i love that we have sort of the worst weather in the middle of the week when everyone is working, then on the weekend it's beautiful. >> we get it out of the way. mother nature, she is spot on. >> i like it. but halloween, we're look at something that is a little sketchier. >> we've got time. the storm system can totally switch ar. >> we'll keep you updated. >> sounds good. >> danielle, thank you. we're going to update you tomorrow morning on 9news starting is at 4:30. we certainly appreciate you watching. have a wonder accuse donald trump of sexual misconduct -- >> he grabbed my shoulder and

stories, all of them. >> the stories are total fiction. >> this morning my interview with vice-president joe biden. >> what he said is a textbook definition of sexual assault. >> and with the republican nominee for vice-president mike pence. now that trump says the shackles are off, how damaging has this episode been? the latest numbers from our brand-new nbc news wall street journal poll. the great american divide. we goo in for trump. >> hillary has so much stuff against her. i don't see how anybody can vote for her. >> and another where everyone seems to be for clinton. >> i don't understand how people are voting for him. >> just how divided are we? joining me are hugh hewitt. joy reid, chris cillizza and

the press." >> from nbc news in washington, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. good sunday morning. every week we say it and every week it's true. there's never been a week like this in american presidential politics. here we go again. admittedly there were times that we had trouble keeping up with the number of women who came forward claiming donald trump had groped, propositions or sexually harassed them. as the trump campaign began to buckle, republicans feared that his troubles would metastasize republicans threatening the party's hold on the senate and perhaps even the house. we have a new indication of just how dire things have become for trump. in our new poll out right now, hillary clinton leads donald trump in a four-way race by ten points among registered voters. if you limit it to likely voters, check this out, clinton's lead grows to 48% 37% before likely voter models would actually help trump, not in this case.

republicans in this poll. it may be in congress where the democratic lead has snapped back to two points. a week ago, it had opened up to seven. these numbers come after a head shaking week when trump was under constant assault and seemed to be at war with just about everyone. in the face of more accusations of sexual assault, trump is lashing out. >> it's a rigged election, because you have phony people coming up with phony allegations. jessica says she sat next to him on a plane in 1979. >> when he started putting his hand up my skirt and that was it. that was it. this woman was ass the '90s. >> the person on my right who unbeknowned to me was donald trump, put this hand up my skirt.

she says, i turned around and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat. a former contestant on "the apprentice." >> i pushed his chest, put space between us. i said, come on, man, get real. he repeated i had words back to me, get real. as he began thrusting his genitals. >> trump has denies them. instead, abeinattacking. >> some are doing it for probably a little fame. >> even suggesting that they should not be believed because they were not attractive enough for him to assault. >> believe me, she would not be my first choice that i can tell you. >> he has blamed media, the clintons. he has blamed a mexican billionaire. the trump campaign has pushed

offering a british man who says it it was jessica who was being f flirtatious. trump released a statement on summer write being, i never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. in fact, she continued to contact me for help, e-mail mig office on april 14th of this years all of these allegations led to a passionate speech by michelle obama who rarely weighed in to partisan politics this steeply. >> i can't stop thinking about this. it has shaken me to my core in a way that i couldn't have predicted. >> i'm thursday, i sat down with vice-president joe biden at a union hall in las vegas where he was campaigning in an attempt to help hillary clinton lock down

i began by asking the vice-president about those accusations of sexual assault against donald trump. why shouldn't he get the benefit of the doubt? from these accusers. >> his own words. i don't have to even go to the accusers. when a man says that -- what he said is a textbook definition of sexual assault. i mean, it's a text book definition. the thing that is -- believable that he engaged in that kind of activity is not just that he said it but his sort of instinctive abuse of power. he acts in the private sector, he acts in the way he treats employees and that i -- i live in the penthouse. i'm a billionaire. i'm a star. and i can do what i want. that's the most disturbing piece. my father used to say, the

power. economic power, political power, physical power. and this is not a guy that should be representing the united states in any way. >> why do you think it's not been disqualifying for even more voters yet? >> i don't know how deeply it has sunk into the consciousness. i don't know that we think that something gets said ten times, a thousands times over a weekend and everyone absorbs it. most people are trying to figure out how to put bread and butter on the table. so i don't know. i think it's sunk in pretty deeply. it has changed the dynamic around the country in a pretty substantial way so far. >> we have a culture that has given this a permission slip. >> this is a new level.

granddaughter with a paper. she's a bright young woman. i was embarrassed. i was embarrassed to even -- i have four granddaughters. i was embarrassed that this is even being discussed. >> a lesson for men. i heard a lot of people say as the father or the mother of two daughters or three daughters or -- what about the message to young men or young boys? >> iid meeting with thousands of students. and i asked them to go to a website. what can we do to better protect them? you know what the overwhelming answer was? get men involved. the vast majority of men don't share the view of donald trump. i was a pretty good athlete in high school and college. i don't ever remember that kind of locker room talk. never. you might have a guy say, look at that or -- make comments like that. but the idea that she lets me do

is just sick. what's wrong is, we have to change the whole culture here. and that no man has a right to touch a woman, to raise a hand to a woman, to abuse a woman for any reason. we have actually had cases -- i have a federal law passed. a judge asking a woman, well, you were in the bar. were you wearing underwear, how short was your skirt? no man has a right to touch a >> the last time this really impacted our politics was clarence thomas and anita hill did an interview. she expressed disappointment in you. >> she did. >> what was your reaction to that? >> my reaction was, i thought it was unfair. i voted against clarence thomas. i believed her. the question was whether or not she should be able to initially -- should she be able to make her complaint without

you have do that. it was, very, very, very tough. >> anything you do differently? >> no. no. >> as you know, donald trump is bringing up everything bill clinton right now. should that matter? >> no, it shouldn't matter. i can't make an excuse for bill clinton's conduct. and i wouldn't ateltempt to. he was impeached. he expressed his deep sorrow and acknowledged what he did. this guy as i said has acknowledged that he has been a sexual predator. he has acknowledged he abused his power. as i said, the text book definition of a sexual assault. >> let's talk about this working class white voter issue that democrats seem to have. sort of the people that you speak to. biden voters. he just look at pennsylvania right now, the 15 counties that

you and the president won by three points. right now she trails by eight points. it's clear there is something a lack of connectivity or something with trump. what's your diagnosis? >> you were a friend of my son. he was a greated eadmirer of y. i might find myself choking up. everybody says, he's a good father. what a decent guy. she chokes up and she's playing the woman card. this is the -- this is the -- this is different. number one. number two, the truth is, i don't think we -- i'm a broken record on the democratic party on this. i don't think we speak enough to the plight of family, husband

and they are struggling. >> they worry about this minority group, they worry about these voters over here, they worry about this state. what about me? >> they don't talk to me. >> that's what i hear. >> i do, too. what happened is we had to spend so much time dragging a car out of the ditch, worrying about going over the cliff, dealing with people who didn't have enough to eat, making sure people were able to just hang on that it's only now that we got the economy back and wages begin to focus on what is a large portion of the middle class who has felt like they have been left behind and we don't talk to their needs. >> let's talk about her then. what's your advise to her? she has this deplorables line that's hard for her to shake. president obama used bitter, cling to your guns and bible. he never shook that with a certain part of the electorate. she may never shake deplorables. how should she try? >> by demonstrating where her

when she cares about -- she cares about the people struggling. that's been who she is. look, as i said, i know her well. she has been so batter and beaten. we all make mistakes. she has made mistakes, too. for her to open up -- for example, i remember talking to her about having -- i had breakfast there every tuesday morning when she was secretary of state at my home. and i remember talking about college and paying for college and telling a story about how my dad tried to borrow money to help -- i had a grant and aid but get me enough money. i went to his place of business. i wanted to see him about something. i walked out, he was pacing back and forth. i'm so ashamed. i'm so ashamed. my word, i'm so ashamed. i went to the bank and they won't lend me the money. i'm so ashamed.

filling up because she understands that it's not just the kid that doesn't get a chance, it's how many middle class people have been stripped of their dignity, stripped of their -- the one thing -- >> you understand why they are gravitating to trump right now? to somebody that says, i'm going to make it better again. >> i do. but it's not -- i don't think there's so much gravitating to trump. they have been stung so badly by the recession, hurt so bad. we lost $17 trillion household wealth in the recession. if you lost your home and you are not back in a home and you don't benefit. when the market was -- if you lost your investment in the market through your 401(k), and now it's $18,000, the guys who made the big money -- they look around and say, wait a minute. >> i want to go to syria here. i know you are doing a big session that's coming up next week about what to do.

over aleppo? >> simple proposition. the first things first. we must defeat isil. we must take out raqqah. we must take out mosul. we must eliminate the caliphate. it's the direct immediate threat to the american people. number one. dod told us in the beginning that the assets we need to be able do that would have to be diverted. we could not do both, could not do both. that's number one. number two, we -- in order to be able to do what needs to be done, you remember, we tried to get the authority to use force before. all those republicans talked about how tough they were. i spoke to 156 members of the house and senate for a minimum of an hour. groups of two to 25 in the situation room. no support. no support. okay. they would say, what happens?

we have to go in and get them. yeah, we have to go in and get them. >> let me ask you this, how does syria not become the rwanda of this administration that you wonder what if, what if? >> >> this is complicated. we have to deal with central and eastern iraq to clear isil. that will fundamentally change -- >> once mosul is taken care of you, you think the focus can be back on syria a >> raqqah, too. raqqah is the central place where we know plotting is taking place against the homeland in those areas. secondly, russia is in real trouble. they're getting themselves in a quagmire. they have economic problems. they are dragged into this. isil gone, russia in a totally different place creates a lot of additional opportunities. >> we're not going to regret not doing more in aleppo?

whenever anyone dies. i regret that we're not doing something about mutilation in africa. i regret there's problems in afghanistan. but there has to be a sense of humility about what is able to be done at the time. what we're doing is the right thing, generating a consensus among the arab countries as to what we should be doing in the region. and at the same time, going after isil to destroy it. >> final question. i talked with former russian ambassador and we talked about the idea that -- you gotta respond when they are hacking. you have to do something. he described it as a high hard one, maybe just sort of -- in baseball, you throw a high hard one to send a message. why haven't we sent a message yet to putin? >> we're sending a message.

>> he will know it? >> he will know it. it will be at the time of our choosing. and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact. >> will it be enough that it will get him to back off? how concerns ared are you that country will question the result of the election? >> i am not concerned. the reason i'm not is we're working closely with all the departments of elections across the country, number one. number two, the american people are pretty damn li fundamentally alter the election is -- it is not what people think. i tell you what. to the extent they do, we will be proportional in what we do. >> a message is going to be sent? will the public know it? >> hope not. >> when we come back, the man who would like to have joe biden's job.

welcome to the world 2116, you can fly across town in minutes or across the globe in under an hour. whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. in less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. and if you thought that was amazing, you just wait.

welcome back. one republican whose representation has not suffered is donald trump's running mate mike pence. in our new poll, pence's total positive rating was plus eight points. just 28% negative. that put him ahead of paul ryan, the republican party as a hole

tampa, florida. welcome back to the program. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> let me start with getting your reaction to michelle obama's speech from earlier this week. let me play a clip and get you on the other side. >> so while i would love nothing more than to pretend like this isn't happening and to come out here and do my normal campaign speech, it would be dishonest and disingenuous to me to just move on to the next thing like this was all just a bad dream. can ignore. it's not something we can just sweep under the rug as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season. >> governor, the first lady was speaking directly about donald trump's comments caught on the 2005 video. do you agree with her comments that they should not be swept under the rug? >> let me say that i have tremendous respect for the first lady and for her efforts on behalf of the american people over the last seven and a half

the simple fact is that donald trump made comments in an open mike 11 years ago that he has expressed deep regret for. he is embarrassed about it. he apologized last weekend to the american people and made it clear that it was just talk. he has apologized to his family. i accept that apology. i truly do believe that this election -- this election is of such an ee nonormous magnitude it's important wemo it's important that we focus on the need for a stronger america at home and abroad. as i traveled across florida this week and across the country, the people that i'm encountering are focused on those issues about really restoring this country and reviving our economy and that's where we're going to continue to be focused. >> donald trump does not want to move off of this issue. in fact, he said he has been getting advice saying that, but instead, he has been responding

couple of the different accusers. >> she's right. she's a liar. she's a liar. she's writing a story -- check out her facebook page. you will understand. i was sitting with him on an airplane. and he went after me on the plane. yeah, i'm going to go after -- believe me, she would not be my first choice. that i can tell you. man. you don't know. that would not be my first choice. you just dismissed it as just talk. we have nine accusers that have come out since you have said it's just talk. do you really believe it's just talk? >> i really do, chuck. what we have this week is a series of unsubstantiated allegations. and donald trump -- >> let me stop you there. they are not unsubstantiated. >> he has denied those allegations. >> you have firsthand accounts.

not unsubstantiated. you have a firsthand account. we have somebody that disagrees with that account. but they are substantiated. no? >> well, no, these are not substantiated accounts. these are people who have brought forward allegations going back in some cases decades. and donald trump has made it clear that he categorically denies these things ever took place. i have to tell you, it really is astonishing to most americans that as these unsubstantiated eg this network and other networks, that revelations coming out of secretary of state clinton's years in the state department and the clinton foundation are virtually ignored by the national media. we discovered this week that state department officials actually directed contracts for the haitian recovery after the earthquake to friends of the clintons. literally, that got almost no

unsubstantiated claims that donald trump has denied were treated with headline news and continuous coverage. it's one of the reasons why so many americans feel like they election is being rigged by a national media that's constantly trying to change the subject away from and practice willful ignorance toward the corruption and misdeeds and pay for play politics of the clintons. >> do you believe that women who believe they were victimized by sexual assault, that come hasn't that been part of the problem with rooting out sexual assault in our culture is that there is this feeling that women get ignored? >> no, i won't say anything to disparage any woman who believes they have had an experience like this. but donald trump has made it clear that these allegations are categorically false. we have had more evidence that has come out to challenge those versions of the facts.

going on here is the way the national media is ignoring an avalanche of real, hard evidence of corruption during the years of the clinton administration. "the new york times" just a few minutes ago posted a story about -- in exchange for five minutes with bill clinton, the government of qatar was going to give $1 million to the clinton foundation. we know that more than half of hillary clinton's meetings while she was secretary of state were given to major the clinton foundation. the haitian government think, the speeches about open borders, socialized medicine, it's getting virtually no attention. >> you just cited "the new york times." >> denied by donald trump are getting all the attention. the american people see right through it. >> you cited "the new york times." obviously, not a small news organization. we have been reporting on this. front page of nbcnews.com. we will report on this throughout the show.

let me ask you this, for a long time, you used to refer to donald trump as this good man. you haven't done that this week. any reason for that change? >> sure i have. sure i have, chuck. the donald trump i have come to know loves his family, loves this country. he has made a connection to millions of americans because he has given voice to the frustrations and the aspirations of the american people. when you have the president of france over this weekend say at obama's and hillary clinton's foreign policy of moving red lines in syria that russia was emboldened to invade ukraine and take a larger role in syria, that's really saying something. the american people know that that -- america has weakened at home and abroad because of the policies of obama and clinton. >> you brought up russia. do you -- i know you are getting intelligence briefings.

behind all of these hacks into former white house chief of staff, john podesta, the dnc, do you believe the american intelligence community on this? >> i think there's more and more evidence that implicates russia. there should be serious consequences. >> why doesn't your running made -- >> the privacy and security of the american people. >> why doesn't your running mate believe that? >> i certainly hope what the vice-president said this morning is something they follow through not believe -- >> this is an administration has spoken things on the foreign stage and not followed through like moving red lines, fa -- mye is that if the evidence does flow to russia that there are serious consequences. remember, this avalanche of e-mails -- >> governor, governor, governor, why doesn't injure running mate believe what you believe about a foreign government in russia trying to hack into the american
