later for "the morning news" and don't miss "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new
3:30 am
this is the cbs "overnight news." at long last, the presidential campaign is now in the homestretch. after last night's third and final debate. hillary clinton rode into the showdown in las vegas on a wave but dragging behind her more questions about e-mail revelations. donald trump entered the final round insisting the race is rigged against him. and facing sexual assault allegations from multiple women. here is some of what the candidates had to say. you have been warning at rallies that this election is rigged and hillary clinton is stealing it from you. your runningmate, governor pence, sunday, said he and you,
3:31 am
result of the election to. day your daughter ivanka said the same thing. i want to ask you here on the stage tonight do you make the same commitment that you will absolutely, sir, that you will absolutely accept the result of this election. >> i will look at it at the now. i will look at it at the time. what i have seen is so bad. first of all the media is so dishonest and so corrupt, and the pile-on is so amazing. "the new york times" actually wrote an article about it that they don't even care. it is so dishonest. they have poisoned the mind of the voters. unfortunately for them, i think the voters are seeing through it. we will find out november 8th. i think they will see through it. >> but, sir -- >> excuse me, chris. if you look at your voter rolls, you will see millions of people
3:32 am
me. this is coming from peer report and other places, millions of people, that are registered to vote that shouldn't be registered to vote. so, let me just give you one other thing. so i talk about the corrupt media. i talk about the millions of people. tell you one other thing. she shouldn't be allowed to run. it's -- she is guilty of a very, very serious crime. she should not be allowed to run. and just in that respect, i say, it's rigged. because she should never -- >> chris, she should never have been allowed to run for the presidency based on what she did with e-mails and so many other things. >> sir, there is a tradition in the country. one of the prides of the country is the peaceful transition of power and that no matter how hard-fought a campaign is, that at the end of the campaign, that, the loser concedes to the winner. not saying that you are necessarily going to be the lose thor or the winner, but that the loser concedes to the winner and that the country comes together
3:33 am
country. are you saying you are not prepared now to commit to that principle? >> what i am saying i will fell you at the time. i will keep you in suspense. >> well, chris, let me respond to that. because that's horrifying. every time -- donald thinks things are not going in his direction. he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him. the fbi conduct aid year-long investigation into my e-mails. they concluded there was no case. he said the fbi was rigged. he lost the ioau the wisconsin primary. he said the republican primary was rigged against him. then trump university gets sued for fraud and racketeering. he claims the court system and the federal judge is rigged against him. there was even a time when he didn't get an emmy for his tv program, three years in a row here, started tweeting that the emmys were rigged. >> should have gotten it. >> this is a mind set. this is, this its how donald
3:34 am
and it's funny, but it is also really, troubling. >> okay. >> that is not the way our democracy works. we have been around for 240 years. we have had free and fair elections and accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. that is what is must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election. you know, president obama said the other day, when you are whining, before -- >> hold on, folks. hold on, folks. >> it just shows you, you are not up to doin and let's, you know, let's be clear about what he is saying and what that means. he is denigrating, he is talking down our democracy. and i for one am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties, would take that kind of position. >> at the last debate, you said your talk about grabbing women
3:35 am
and you had never actually done it. since then, nine women have come forward, said you groped them or kissed them without their consent. why would they all make up these stories and, since this is a question for both of you, secretary clinton, mr. trump says what your husband did and you defended was even worse. mr. trump, you go first. >> first of all the stories have been largely debunked. the people, i don't know the people. i have a feeling how they came. i believe it was her campaign that did it. just like, if you look at what came out today on the clips.
3:36 am
my rally in chicago and other rallies where we had such violence. she is the one and obama that caused the violence they hired people. they paid them $1,500. they're on tape saying "be violent. cause fights. do bad things." i would say the only way, because the stories are all totally false. i have to say that. and i didn't even apologize to my wife who is sitting right here. because i didn't do anything i didn't know any of these women. i didn't see these women. these women, the woman on the plane, the woman, i think they want either fame, or her campaign did it. i think it is her campaign. because, what i saw, what they did, which is a criminal act, by the way. where they're telling people to go out and start fist fights and start violence. i've will tell you what, in particular in chicago. people were hurt and people could have been killed in that riot.
3:37 am
if it wasn't, they get their ten minutes of fame. but, they were all totally, it was all fiction. it was lies and fiction. >> secretary clinton. at the last debate we heard donald talking about what he did to women. after that a number of women have come forward. saying that's exactly what he did to them. what was his response. he held big rallies where he said he could not possibly have done those things to those women because they were not afrack tiff enough. >> i did not say that. i did not say that. >> in fact he went on. >> her two minutes, sir. her two minutes. >> but did not say that. >> it is her two minutes. >> he went on to say, look at her. i don't think so. about another woman. he said that wouldn't be my first choice. he attacked the woman reporter. writing the story, called her disgusting.
3:38 am
during this campaign. donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger. he goes after their dignity, their self worth, and i don't think there is a woman anywhere who doesn't know what that feels like. >> the cbs "overnight news" will be right back. you know your heart loves megared omega-3s... but did you know your eyes, your brain, and your joints megared advanced 4in1... just one softgel delivers the omega-3 power of two regular fish oil pills... so give your body mega support with megared advanced 4in1. because i'm a woman... do you think i'm gonna crack under pressure or conquer the field? defy expectations any day with always infinity. made with flexfoam.
3:39 am
ugh, it's only lunchtime and my cold medicines' wearing off. i'm dragging. yeah, that stuff only lasts a few hours. or, take mucinex. one pill fights congestion for 12 hours. no thank you very much, she's gonna stick with the short-term stuff. 12 hours? guess i won't be seeing you for a while. is that a bisque? i just lost my appetite. why take medicines that only last 4 hours, when just one mucinex ditch the misery.
3:40 am

3:42 am
where everyone who wants a good job can get one. >> reporter: america's largest minority, once again, questioning where or if they really fit in. how close is american history tied to latino history? >> i think extremely close. in fact i don't think you can think of the united states without latino history at all. >> reporter: francis montera, director of the latino archive at columbia university. whether you call them latinos or generally interchangeable. their role in american history she says has been misunderstood and undervalued from the start. >> there is a sense that latinos have come here largely as recent immigrants. in fact, latinos began their life as part of the united states when the united states crossed over to latin america in search of territory. so for instance, mexican-american war in which
3:43 am
as mexicans like to say in the area of the united states, they did not cross the border, the border crossed them. >> reporter: as america grew, many did cross the border though they were invited. >> mexicans started coming into the united states at end of the 19th century, early 20th, they were recruited to work in mining and agriculture as industries then you had world war i and world war ii in which the united states makes a concerted effort to recruit mexican labor to fill in the gaps by men left going to war. >> reporter: a century later they're still filling the gaps. >> today we have 57 million people in the united states who are of hispanic origin. >> reporter: marco lopez is director of hispanic research at pew research center in washington, d.c. >> i think that the impact of the latino community particularly on many aspects of american life is only just beginning. >> during the past 50 years, the hispanic population in america has more than quadrupled from 4%
3:44 am
california, texas, florida, new york and illinois leading the way. >> you get about 2/3 of the hispanic population in just the few states. however the story of latino population growth is really been one of dispersion as well. we have seenwt in the south. right now, georgia is actually the tenth largest hispanic state overall. >> reporter: all of which means come election day, america's 27 million eligible hispanic voters will be a force to be reckoned with. >> these are the four key states now where the hispanic vote could decide the presidential election. >> arizona, colorado, florida,
3:45 am
one on this list. >> a miami pollster and radio talk show host who focuses on hispanic voters. how bad are things between donald trump and the hispanic voters? >> about as bad as it gets. we asked in our polls if hispanic voters thought he was a racist? a racist? not whether he said racist things. if he was a racist, 70% of hispanic voters feel he is a racist. i think that's bad as it gets. >> once again as we have seen in the last four elections, the one state that could be the tipping point in 2016. florida. where 25% of the population is hispanic. >> right now hillary clinton does have a massive lead over na voters. barack obama got 60% of that. four years age helped him win the state by less than a percentage point. i think she will need every one of the points. right now on track to equal or do better than president obama did in 2012. as florida hispanic voters go, so goes the keys to the white house.
3:46 am
out in low numbers. only 48% of those eligible voted in 2012. >> i just think that our community, deserves better. >> reporter: which is where this man comes in. >> people are more knowledgeable to date, i hope and expect that they all go out and participate and vote. but i am not going to sit here and wait for that to happen. >> executive director of mi familia vota, my family votes, voter registration group. more than 400 staff and volunteers are knocking on doors in arizona, and other key states to get people to sign up. this year, monterosa says is different. why do you want to register? >> translator: i want to make a difference. because of what donald trump is saying. awe their bringing drugs. they're bringing crime. they're rapists. >> what happened, june 16, 2015, he said mexicans.
