does that -- how does that -- what newt gingrich did effeaffe that?e republican party has long had a gap. >> how is that? >> let me point out i've had a long effeaffection relationshiph meg megyn kelly. i believe the polls show americans are not buying this roll out of accusers and this bigger theme of man shaming and they want to get to the real issues, and the latest fox poll shows it very well, for example, 13 -- trump is up 13% over hillary clinton nationwide with independent voters that includes women, as well as men. >> you think that exchange helped him with women? >> the exchange, it just happened but the fact is what oou i'm saying is americans are watching this drum beat about this sexual accusations and they're saying i don't buy this. i want to hear about the economy. >> i understand your argument. >> i want to hear about terror. >> i want to say you're a little bit off because this teams like he's personally targeting someone who has been targeted by donald trump already. he specifically talking about m megyn why she's obsessed with sex.

not newt gingrich. >> was it a mistake for donald trump to at his event today single out newt gingrich the interview last night? >> not in the slightest. because i think we're really misreading this conversation. and i quite frankly think this entire panel discussion is emblematic of america's frustration about what's going on now. we're having conversations about newt gingrich's sexual in discretions, and donald trump's, and feels like the ""national enquirer," and voters in every area tell us, we want to talk about the issues. when newt gingrich said you are obsessed with sex. meaning the media. you were obsessed with sex. he was talk about public policy. >> he was talking about megyn kelly, i've seen your show, >> all you have been covering lately is sex stuff. >> as an example of what the mainstream media is doing. >> there is a difference between sex and sexual assault as anna pointed out. and what megyn kelly is talking about is sexual assault. >> what every focus group has told us is they don't want to hear what we're talk about right now. >> i can tell you what every rating poi

newt gingrich was running for the republican nomination, right? that debate stage, and i'm just going to show it to my viewers now. here it is. >> she says that you came to her in 1999 at a time when you were having an affair, she says you asked her, sir, to enter into an open marriage. with would you like to take some time to respond to that? >> no. but i will. i think -- i think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office, and i am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate, on a topic like that. >> all right. so newt gingrich was talking about an ex-wife, who claimed they had an open marriage, angela, and you -- i don't know, what -- that image, that moment popped in my head as i was watching this newt gingrich/megyn kelly thing. am i on to something? >> i definitely think so. i think that that was what megyn kelly was insinuating when she said your defensiveness on his subject, sir, speaks volumes. i thought it was

close to home for newt gingrich.hought that megyn kelly showed an enormous amount of restraint, not throwing back into newt gingrich his own sordid history with women. he hasn't exactly been a champion for women in his own life and in his career. so the hypocrisy of this election is nauseating. and i just know that speaking for myself as a republican woman, if this is the party, and if newt gingrich is being an accurate representation of what the party stands for, there is not a place for me, and there is not a place for other republican women who feel the way that i do, that women should not be preyed upon. >> and liz, hearing from elise, here is somebody who was working in the presidential primary, that she -- i've never seen anything like this in either party at any time where you have party professionals saying i don't know where the room is for me if this continues. >> yeah. and they're turning their back on the women of america. this is not even a partisan issue. and so, look, my message, elise, the water is wa

gingrich can talk about what he wants to. i'm more focused on prosperity and security rather than what the media has been doing to us. >> your candidate, hang on. your candidate hasn't been saying that. >> he's talking about media bias, where is the mixed messaging here. >> it can be all of the above. for me personally, we are a big campaign with a lot of voices out there. i am choosing to offer an optimistic way out. the anger and angst in america is palpable and real. because people aren't confident in the economic situation. they are not confident in the security, home and abroad. i want to focus on solutions to the macro issues. i think if we are skillful, although the media is often a hurdle for us, we can go above and around the hurdle to speak directly to the american people with forward-looking optimistic solutions. i think it's why we'll win in 13 days. >> i heard you trying to jump in there. you sounded skeptical. >> yes. i respect steve's position here. steve, to your credit i think you are one of trump's better su

he praised newt gingrich today on stage. it's a good thing to have his surrogates doubling down on his message. i i don't think it helps him at all but i don't think he is aware of that and i don't think he really cares. >> he did give a nice shoutout to newt gingrich today. he criticized hillary clinton's policies as far as syria is concerned. here is what he said in an interview with reuters. donald trump. quote, what we should do is focus on isis. we should not be focusing on syria. you're going to end up in world war iii over syria if we listen to hillary clinton. all right. that's what he said in the interview with reuters. now, a russian political leader -- you are an expert on russia -- suggested that hillary clinton could spark world war iii as well. this is what he said. americans voting for a president on november 8th must realize that they are voting for peace on planet earth if they vote for trump. but if they vote for hillary, it's war. so it sounds like trump is saying what zhirinovsky was saying. >> in russia

that is gingrich defending trump over alicia machado. both wed three times.oth accused of infidelity. and in 2012 gingrich's second wife recall this is about her former husband to abc news. >> oh he was asking to have an open marriage. and i refused. >> gingrich denies the allegation. then there is rudy giuliani. former new york city mayor and trump backer who's quick to bring up bill clinton's infidelity. criticizing follow knot just him but hillary clinton. >> attacked monk lewandowsen mo. and if you don't know, you're too stupid to be president. >> giuliani should be able to relate to marital strife. married three tiles. and announced his separation to his second wife at a press conference before telling her. his affairs and divorces playing out publicly on new york tabloid front pages. >> "outfront" now. lisa bloom and kayleigh mcenany. why would trump even bring it up today. >> because newt gingrich spoke for a lot of us last night. i think it wasn't geared towards megyn kelly but at the media with large when he said there is this obsession with sex as o

complimenting newt gingrich on having a food fight with you last night. that was not a good use of today. he has 13 days. every one of those days is preciou precious. >> tomorrow hillary clinton for her part will campaign for the first time with first lady michelle obama who has been her campaign's most effective voice thus far on donald trump and women. let's bring in our guests to talk about it. gop veteran, former white house communications director nicolle wallace is here. we welcome the senior politics reporter for u"usa today" and with us from washington, former rnc chairman michael steele. welcome to you all. it's hard to believe it's been just 24 hours. was trump sanctioning it by the callout of newt gingrich? >> sanctioning it? he was applauding it. we didn't get to it last night but i had a feeling they were running a play. he didn't lose his temp we are megyn kelly, this was a plan. trump has been running against megyn kelly with such fervor i think some people wondered if he'd run against hillary clinton with the same focus maybe he'd be doing

newt gingrich destroyed megyn kelly. megyn kelly made newt gingrich melt down.s and ears intense exchange between professional journalist and partisan in the final weeks of a very emotional campaign. i get that. i don't think that either one of them won the exchange. they both did their job. sandra: fair enough. harris? harris: interesting. i wish i had seen it in the context. by the time i saw it, right, i'm flipping around, we were watching games and stuff last night. it already had commentary with it. it was loaded, as you put it, with that commentary. so i had to kind of put all of that aside, watch video on its own and i agree. 13 days to go, i'm not surprised to see a person who is surrogate, supporter of donald trump, coming from that point of view that hard. that being said, he took it personal. and that has somewhat backfired at times during this campaign. it will be interesting to see how this goes. >> you know, find somebody, you want to stay on subject, crazy to stay on it trump campaign, get kellyanne conway. >> get a woman. >> a woman. more importa

gingrich: let me say two things. theust a conference of brooking institution on the 20th anniversary of the welfare reform bill. the largest a client and children's poverty, the largest taking of children out of poverty occurred after the welfare reform bill moved people from dependency to work. the fact is, and bill clinton will claim credit but we moved more people out of poverty than any other time in american history. second this is the tragic of american liberals yes, it would be great to invest in education. robert and i share a passion. in detroit 9% of the third graders can read. in baltimore, 13% of eighth graders can pass their math exams. the baltimore system is $1.4 billion system which is brilliant at paying a company bureaucrat and fails children. we have gone through this for 30 years. those of us who believe in choice and allowing parents to pick a school that works are defeated consistently by the power of the labor unions who on the democratic party. when you talk about investing, don't you have to

the fact is i think newt gingrich clearly stepped over the line right there. he kept ongoing. he didn't try to walk it back, just not a very smart move. >> thank you, mark preston. i appreciate it. i want to bring in starr jones, president of the professional diversity network. >> don, i'm sorry. i was clutching pearls watching that. i was sitting here going, really, dude? really, newt. >> what did you make of that? >> between newt gingrich, guilliani and chris christie, they've got like the try fek tau of misogyny. then you've got newt gingrich up here, who didn't he leave his wife while she was dying and married the next wife? give me a break, newt. pot, meet kettle. >> the strategy for fighting with megyn kelly again and saying bill clinton will be back when he's not on the ballot. >> you know, first of all bill clinton was an extremely good president, and more importantly the country was in a very good position when he actually walked away, and also the -- bill clinton was punished for his behavior. everyone for gets that. >> newt gingrich was there, speaker of the house.

earlier in the week, newt gingrich went to war with fox news's megyn kelly. he was then congratulated for his performance by donald trump. let's watch that performance. >> if trump is a sexual predator, that is -- >> he's not a sexual predator -- >> okay, that's your opinion. >> you can not defend that statement! i'm sick and tired of people like you using language that's inflammatory that's not true. can we go back to the tapes of your show, recently. you are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy. >> me? really? >> that's what i get out of watching you tonight. >> congratulations, newt, on last night. that was an amazing interview. we don't play games, right? we don't play games. >> oh, yeah? that was the latest example of a campaign that some republicans say is driving away women from the party. don't just limit it to women, anyway. according to the "washington post" today, a growing number of prominent republican women are worried that as members of their male-dominated party step up to defend donald trump against accusations from sexu

did newt gingrich help him on fox news last night? >> no. obviously he just stoked the base for donald trump as if they need stoking, and that's classic gingrich. earlier you played that great clip from 2012 when gingrich was running for president, when he lashed out at one of the panelists and screamed about media bias and remember, it helped him win the south carolina primary. republicans love media bashing. i think trump's core loves media bashing more than the average republican. it's all of apiece. it's way too late for this to have any real impact on the election. most of it's cooked. >> i would like to play that clip once again now that you mention it. this is newt gingrich when he was running for the republican nomination for president of the united states. it was during a debate. newt gingrich himself has been married a couple of times, right, and one of his ex-wives alleged that they had an open marriage. john king asked him about that onstage. let's listen. >> she says that you came to her in 1999 at a time when you were having an

jezebel said gingrich made a total fool of himself, and breitbart said gingrich exposed megyn kelly anded her. which isn't really a good headline if you're a trump supporter. it sounds like newt was like, "donald trump is not a sexual predator. now put your butt in my hands so i can lift you over my head. come on! come on." that's one of the downside of everyone consuming their news in their bubble. you don't the news. you get your news. there are distorted and fake news stories everywhere on line. obama shows his erection to a reporter. tim kaine yells at his daughter. did you hear the story about bill clinton when he called trump supporters rednecks? there's a headline, so it must be true. necessary you hear what he actually said. >> you know, look, the other guy's base is what i grew up in. you know, i'm basically your standard redneck. >> trevor: oh, no he didn't! just identify with people he disagrees with to point out what they have in common. ( laughter ) there's nothing there. he called himself a redneck. the only part of that i object to is bill clinton claiming that he's a sta

newt gingrich is here next with reaction to that. that and much more as we continue live on the vegas strip on the eve of the final debate at the mgm grand straight ahead. guess what guys, i switched to sprint. sprint? i'm hearing good things about the network. all the networks are great now. we're talking within a 1% difference in reliability of each other. and, sprint saves you 50% on most current national carrier rates. save money on your phone bill, invest it in your small business. wouldn't you love more customers? i would definitely love some new customers. sprint will help you add customers and cut your costs. switch your business to sprint and save 50% on most current verizon, at&t and t-mobile rates. don't let a 1% difference cost you twice as much. whoooo! for people with hearing loss, visit sprintrelay.com. >>> welcome back to "hannity." we're live on the vegas strip at the mgm grand. a disturbing video is raising serious questions about the political tactics used be i the dnc, the clinton campaign and democrats in general

we'll have more with newt gingrich in just a few minutes. coming up with exactly four weeks to go in the race for the white house, while donald trump's running mate indiana governor mike pence will join us tonight and then later tonight -- >> without the media, hillary clinton couldn't be elected dogcatcher. i mean that. it's true. it's true. >> donald trump calls out the liberal mainstream media for not vetting hillary clinton's past. we're going to have reaction to the blatant liberal bias that we now know about as "hannity" continues. what's it like to be in good hands? like finding new ways to be taken care of. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh... but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands. >>> welcome back to "hannity." we're in the final stretch, only 28 days. voters will head to the polls. earlier i spoke with

newt gingrich couldn't have made it any less inviting way.ould the way he did it was not effective. >> newt gingrich was running for president and asked that question at the debate in south carolina about his ex-wife saying he asked for an open marriage and the expectation is this an explosive allegation and he turned it around on the moderator with john king from cnn and used it to launch into how horrible the media is. very effective in that setting and different up against megyn kelly. >> it's great to beat up on the media when you are standing on the debate stage and newt gingrich was effective at that, but the problem in that interview was who he was fighting with. he was fighting with megyn kelly who got into a very public feud with a one-sided fut. donald trump went to battle with her at the first debate 245 he participated in in august 2015 and proceeded to get into a twitter battle with her. i should see tweeting and retweeting tweets with disparaging of megyn kelly and the fight between newt gingrich and megyn kelly, that serves rep

also ready for a fight - one of trump's biggest surrogates - newt gingrich? 9:24:04 gingrich: i want to hear your words, bill clinton sexual predator. i dare you. say bill clinton sexual predator. kelly: mr. speaker, excuse me sir. excuse me. taking on the media's coverage of donald trump's female gingrich: i mean do you want to go back through the tapes on your show recently? you are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy. kelly: me, really? gingrich: sex, but i am fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we're getting in the oval office..." in florida, trump taking on obamacare... sot-trump "it's killing our businesses. it's killing our small businesses. and it's killing individuals." trump seizing on the news that people who get their insurance through the federal exchange on average 25%. sot trump: that number is so wrong. that is such a phony number. you're talking about 60, 70, 80%. but trump stumbling in his attack-saying his employees are already suffering. sot trump: all of my employees are having a tremendous

newt gingrich certainly knows how to make news. i thought this was an interesting way to go about it considering what took him out of politics. he certainly did make news. >> gingrich was there as a trump supporter and made it very personal. he went on to dare megyn kelly to say bill clinton was a sexual pred kerr. >> she would not do it. >> her response was nor is she saying donald trump is a sexual predator. >> yes, she did. she used language -- >> kelly, the question began with if, if what these women are saying is true. i don't think you should say one is, one isn't, she's saying she covered it. i interrupted you. go ahead. >> i don't think meeting ingyn looked goo or newt gingrich, especially when he was wagging his finger. it was megyn kelly shopping for a new job. that's why she took on newt gingrich. >> why not doing the best she can when she was personally attacked by a guest. >> it could very well be that. people from the right side of things, trump supporters thinks she has new network contract negotiations going on. >>

. >> joining us now, former speaker of the house newt gingrich is with us.esterday we got the videos and connections where the money comes from the campaign, goes to the dnc, to democracy project and to these dark arts political operatives that are fomenting, you know, basically violence at trump events and a false narrative. now you watch the tape today and here they are plainly saying and orchestrating voter fraud on a massive level. what's your reaction to it? >> well, first of all, we also now have actual checks cut by the campaign to one of the operatives. i have a very simple first question. where is the fbi? why is the fbi not investigating this? you have a deliberate, willful effort to foment violence, to break up a presidential campaign, to intimidate voters, where is the federal bureau of investigation? i know comey is in the tank for hillary, but he has some obligation to enforce the law, and the fbi should be opening an investigation of these people right now, including an investigation of the people at the clinton campaign who were paying these

pretty smart guy, newt gingrich. we'll take a break and more with newt gingrich right after this. >>> wikileaks, the revelations are beyond stunning. we'll tell you what they are when we come back. >>> and later, with exactly four weeks until election day, mike pence is here. also in quick programming note, the third and final presidential debate will take place next wednesday in vegas. now for the first time ever, a fox news anchor will be moderating a general election presidential debate. chris wallace, our colleague, will moderate the final showdown between trump and clinton. that's next wednesday october the 19th. right here, on the fox news channel. look at all these purchases you made with your airline credit card. hold on...you only got double miles on stuff you bought from that airline? let me show you something better. the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase... not just...(dismissively) airline purchases. every purchase. everywhere. every day. no really!

and much more on newt gingrich and his fight with megyn kelly. why is newt a bing trump surrogate going to battle with one of the most popular people in media? finally, the strange direction of this campaign. a big lead nationally but a much tighter fight in the battleground states that will decide the electoral college. announcer: they' tesyou. try to break yo wil however many cheese puffs may fly. you' the driver. thone in control. stand firm. just wait. [click] and move onlyhen you ar the click thats they're buckled in for the dri. never givep till they buckle up. >>> some evidence that donald trump is talking about a rigged selection having an impact. a majority of 51% of likely voters said they are somewhat or very concerned there will be violence after the election. meanwhile, among trump supporters, 4 in 10 say if clinton wins, she shouldn't be seen as legitimately elected. 68% of trump supporters are worried that the election could be manipulated. anyway, he tweet on november 8 i'm voting for trump on. november 9, if trump loses, i'm grab

today gingrich tweeted he has no anger management issues to sort out, scott, only media bias issues. >> pelley: nancy, races always seem to narrow as an election nears. where is it gettingos >> reporter: one new poll out today showed trump taking the lead here in florida. there was another poll that showed the race tightening in new hampshire, but there were also a bunch of polls that showed health care expanding her lead nationally, so it's kind of a mixed bag. i can tell you that the clinton campaign at this point is focusing much more heavily on those early voting statistics than they are on the polls. they are watching county by county, and the entire schedule is in flux next week. they're watching to see which >> pelley: and trump's leading actually in ohio. major, how is his fund-raising going? he once said that he'd spend $100 million of his own money. >> reporter: well, trump has spent $56 million so far at least through september. and republicans i talked to say it would be much easier for them to fund-raiser for trump and for the republican party if trump would be more cons

gingrich told kelly she was fascinated with sex when she tried to defend her coverage of trump's female accusers. sot trump: "she wants to withdraw that statement so badly newt. by the way congratulatio ns newt on last night. that was an amazing interview. and in an interview with abc's george stephanoplou s, trump defended taking time out to open his hotel. sot trump: i think i'm entitled to it. she goes, does one stop beca clinton .....a celebratory crowd waited for her at this rally in lake worth florida. thank you. it's great to be here in lake worth. wow. happy birthday to you clinton slamming trump on his wealth and for his rigged election attacks. clinton sot " and really while the hotel may be new it's the same old story tag: clintons event goals in trump heads to north carolina next for a couple of events... stephanie ramos abc news washington some americans are saying they might sit out this election. that has the campaigns worrying about turn out. republicans fear that many voters are listening to trump's comments about a rigged election and just won't show up. and democrats

. >> tonight, megyn kelly, newt gingrich, a tense standoff over sex. did the trump's campaign challenge with female voters just get tougher? >>> also tonight, a one on one with mike pence. a man caught between his candidate and the speaker of the house, paul ryan. >>> and tonight, why the gop has reason to worry about a state they haven't lost in over 50 years. the 11th hour begins now. >>> and good evening from our election headquarters here in new york. where two weeks from this very moment and in this very room we will probably know who will be the next president of the united states. and while we have been reporting throughout this election season that women will make up a majority of voters this election year, tonight we begin with a confrontation that just played out this evening on cable news on the subject of women and gender and politics and donald trump. before we show you what just happened, first a reminder of where we've been. the moment that started the larger conversation about donald trump and women. >> you've called women you don't lik

plus, trump's surrogate newt gingrich taking aim at megyn >> tonight, her response. and the new poll. trump now leading clinton in florida? the razor thin margin. >>> and the new video tonight after the bombs in and around new york city. police as they approach the suspect. what we never saw or heard before. >>> good >>> good evening. and we begin tonight with several developing stories. first, in boston this evening, the frightening moments late today as the rush began. the subway, the t, as new englanders call it, filling with smoke. take a look. it happened at one of the busiest stops. you can just imagine the immediate fears. riders desperate to get out, jumping from windows. several then transported to the hospital. this does not appear to be terror, but these were very tense moments. and abc's linsey davis with the early clues tonight. panic inside boston's famous back bay station as smoke fills the air. passengers trying to escape, breaking windows and diving out. video inside the subway car, the system known locally as the t, shows commuters cramming through

here, the gingrich/megyn kelly exchange. played the parallel universe sound bite because it's the key to understanding what's going on. folks are in their own echo chambers. do you have any advice about how to break out past that? about how to encourage people to hear all sides during this election? >> well, i mean, i think that's it's really a microcosm right now, as you were saying, of the conservative movement. newt gingrich is wearing his hat in the role of a surrogate, so you would expect him to defend trump. so that sort of deserves an asterisk. if you put that aside, you have a sort of nationalist, populist, pro-trump movement that breitbart.com is maybe the most indicative of that. then you have a more mainstream, conservative, traditional conservative movement. maybe the national review is more indicative of that. i think megyn kelly is sort of at the center of this. if fox news keeps megyn kelly, then i think it's a clear sign that they're going to be -- they want to move in sort of a thoughtful, center right natio

it's like there's no way to satisfy this weird craving that newt gingrich and the trump campaign have they're in the cornered animal mode. trump is obsessed with polling. he's seeing all the polls that and every day think turn up the claw and scratch desperation. so they're letting their frustration boil out. which may be good therapy for him but is doing nothing to win the election. donald trump presumably watching that interview in washington, d.c. in his failing hotel where he's going to try to lure some more customers as if he's a barker in the street trying to get customers into his hotel. >> he's probably calling newt right now saying "way to go", and maybe we'll hear some of that same material on the trail tomorrow from trump. we have left the planet of rational competent campaign, and we've got a guy slashing away as his world collapses, so it's going to be kind of pathetically interesting to watch this for the next two weeks, and i just hope the damage to the rest of the county is somewhat contained by those who want to hedge on ticket splitting. >> what about the general phe
