?? 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 o the hard tone of the second presidential deba. >> but it was donald trump who went on the offensive for his grossly made comments having accused bill clinton and sexual misconduct. breaking overnight. defensive efforts taken against two missiles in the gulf. plus, aftermath of hurricane

rescues. welcome to "early today." i'm frances rivera. >> and i'm ayman mohyeldin. heated moments. >> another country waking up after a dark, contentious and thoroughly bitter face-off between the nation's leading presidential candidates as donald trump and hillary clinton sparred in the most heated debate we may have never seen. >> honest abe never lied. it's the big difference between abraham lincoln and you. >> it's different for someone who never paid taxes like you. >> sadly obama never listened. i don't think he'll be listening to you very much anymore. >> donald says he knows more about ice its than the generals. no, he does not.

>> the presidential campaign came 48 hours after a newly uncovered tape of 2005 of a hollywood segment. at one point even boasting of his ability to grab women by the genitals. and it parked a massive outcry. access hollywood is owned by nbcuniversal. trump defended that crude language. >> 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 said these things? >> frankly, you hear these things, i said it.

women. >> you ever grabbed women -- >> no i have not. i'm going to make our country safe. >> it was just series of tense moments. clinton claimed a victory saying this to reporters on her plane shortly after the debate. >> i pretty much saw what i expected to see. and that's why, you know, the first thing i said was this was something that i've been saying since june, he's not president and commander in chief. and there are a lot of people who said it before and increasingly more adding that to. >> in trump's 2005 comments the elephant in the room all night have now cost him dearly with gop voices now demanding trump drop out or saying they won't vote for him.

pence called his comments inexcusable cancelling his appearance at one area. >> mr. trump, let me repeat the question, if you were president, what would you do about syria and the humanitarian crisis in aleppo? and i want to remind you what your running mate said. he said provocations by rushial need to be meant by american strength and if russia strikes along with the syrian 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? >> i disagree. >> congrats to my running mate

but this morning, there are new reports that pence is cancelling a stop at a fund-raiser later today. trump did his base to his base at one key moment of the night where he flatly said if he wins he will pursue clinton's charges of a private e-mail server and jail her. >> it's just that donald trump is not states of america. >> because you'd be in jail. >> that exchange took number three on twitter's top moments of the night. with trump calling himself a gentleman at number two. the previous one saying he disagrees with pence was the top tweet of the night. but then the federal taxes. take a listen.

loss to pay income tax? >> of course i did. of course i did. so do a number of her donors. i absolutely use it so did warren buffett, so did george soros and so did a number of other people that hillary was getting money from. >> if that wasn't enough, prior to the debate trump invited reporters to a room with bill clinton accusers with trump seated there at the center they reported allegations against the former president, allegations have which not been prove true. trump even had the same accusers sit in the family's box however the commission on the debate squashed that plan. >> if you look at bill clinton, far worse, mine are words, his are action. his what he did to women there's never been anybody in the

nation that's been so abusive to women, so you can say it any way you want to say it, but bill clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women, and attacked them viciously, four of them here tonight. >> and clinton with the attacks against her and her husband. >> so much of what he just said is not right. but he gets to run his campaign any way he chooses. he gets to decide what he wants to talk about, instead of answering people's questions, laying out the plans that 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 am reminded of what my friend michelle obama advised us all. when they go low, you go high.
