joining us, lisa bloom who accused trump of unwanted sexual advances in 1997. let's start with limbaugh because to me that's an honest expression of the bewilderment of the sexual ethics i think we have reached together as a society and culture, that this is -- that somehow consent is the magic key, which, yes, that's the magic key. >> does rush limbaugh not understand the difference between consensual sex and rape? and if he does not understand the difference, i think he needs to be confined somewhere and educated. this is absolutely appalling to me that he would say, consent! as if it's this crazy left wing conspiracy as a result of decades of sexual assault victims really educating all of us on how painful and damaging being a victim is. >> you know, we have some folks saying why didn't these women come forward sooner. we have some examples of why they may not have, donald trump saying the women in people magazine, look heart, why would i want to be with her? lou dobbs actually tweeted one of the accuser's address and phone number. there is -- what do you he

lisa bloom, thank you very much. appreciate it. >>> the story behind trump's campaign bringing three women to the debate hall last night. how that scene unfolded, ahead. >>> the taxes are a very simple thing. first of all, i pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. many of her friends took bigger deductions. warren buffett took a massive deduction. soros, a friend of hers, took massive deduction. many of these people took massive deductions. >> that was trump explaining why he won't release his taxes and then he hasn't paid federal taxes in years but he's happy to roll out everybody does it defense. today, warren buffett responded in a statement. in 2015, his adjusted gross income was more than $11 million, deductions totalled $5 million and allowable charitable contributions were 3.5 million. his total charitable contributions were $2.85 billion. think about that for a moment. buffett gave close to $3 billion in charitable contributions even though he could only deduct a tiny sliver of that because of the appro

lisa bloom joins us. wondering how you feel about the way donald trump is handling these allegations and the way he is speaking about these women and if your client has a thought about that. jill hart was the bravest one of all because she was the first one to come out using her face and name three months ago and the mainstream media essentially ignored the story. it went viral and got over one million likes and no one really wanted to talk about sexual assault allegations against donald trump. my client filed a case against him in 1997. you say why didn't they do something at the time, jill hart did. she felt vindicated by the tape where he brags about sexual assault and she and i appreciate the women coming forward now. in thise of the factors case is people are going to say are there mitigating things that might undermine their story? your client, after the alleged events, went on to date donald trump. is that kind of factor, do you think, something that donald trump could point to in the case of these

tourre, and lisa bloom is back with us as well. this idea that he's saying he has no emidea who these women are. they can document sort of that i presence in his prence, and one of the trump's own witnesses, a very interesting gentleman from great britain. >> he's great. >> essentially corroborates the fact that donald trump was on the airplane with one of his accusers, jessica leeds. >> i'm sure his followers find that a very easy idea. this re-traumatizes those women and other women who have been through this sort of thing and the essentially charge that he did not take women seriously, does not respect them, so he's not saying you're even pretty enough for me to molest or grope, like this is about sex, and of course lisa would say this is about power, not sex. in my 20s, the notion was you can approach a woman anywhere on the street, anywhere at a restaurant, and become a pickup artist, saying those things that drawing her out of the walking down the street to wanting to date you. that was a thing, right in but i'm only talking

lisa bloom joins us now from los angeles. thank you for joining us.dering about how you feel about how donald trump is handling these allegations and how she's speaking about the women and if you know your client has a thought about that? >> my client, jill harth, was the bravest one of all, she was the first one to come out, using her face and name three months ago, and the mainstream media essentially ignored the story. i wrote a piece on "the huffington post" that went viral, it got over 1 million likes. nevertheless, no one really wanted to talk about sexual assault allegations against donald trump. my client, jill harth, filed a case against him back in 1997. so to all of those who say, why don't women do something at the time? well, jill harth did. she certainly has felt vindicated by the tape that was released, where he's bragging about sexual assault. and both she and i appreciate all the women who are coming forward now and speaking out. >> lisa, one of the factors in all of these cases is people are going to look at and say, are there mitiga

i'm joined now by lisa bloom, who's representing another one of trump's accusers. your reaction that we now have three women on the record in the past hour or so. there's a june facebook post from 2013 miss washington which has now resurfaced, saying that donald trump had groped her, what do you make of all this? >> there's now six women by my count, and jill hearth who's my client, who's been out there talking about her 1997 lawsuit. so she did explain contemporaneously and her ex-husband still supports her all of these years later and corroborates all of her allegations from 1997 and her allegations are that trump continuously groped her on numerous occasions under the table when they were trying to do a business deal, including in the children's bedroom at mara lago. and i hope that trump being caught on tape bragging about sexual assault and the other women coming out and rest assured, there are going to be many, many more. i hope this certainly validates not only jill hearth but what all of the women have been saying about donald trump. how many women have to

. >> lisa bloom, thanks for your time. the rachel maddow show starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris, my friend. good evening to you at home. it's nice to have you here on this fine thursday evening. >>> the lexington hotel in chicago was one of those awesome, sturdy, chicago architectural showoffs in its day. it was built in the 1890s, was 10 stories tall. it had these cool rounded towers on the corners of the building. it had a big, grand, pillared entrance. the lexington hotel announced itself on matchbooks as absolutely fireproof. see that on the middle of the matchbook, absolutely fireproof. that turns out to be a good thing for the lexington hotel, because apparently, reportedly, there was a secret shooting range buried inside of it. there is a secret shooting range buried in the bowels of that hotel because from 1928 to 1931, the famous gangster al capone lived at the lexington hotel. he ran his whole criminal empire out of the fourth and fifth floors of that building. and he reportedly maintained this secret shooting range for his

something that many pointed out including lisa bloom earlier on our air, it's not uncommon to see women in this situation delay before speaking out or ever seeking to press charges. that doesn't speak to the voracity of the underlying claims. >> i do want to read this statement from the trump campaign on t"the new york time" reporting. this entire article is fiction and for "the new york times" to launch a coordinated character assassination is dangerous. to reach back decades in an attempt to smear mr. trump trivializes sexual assault and sets a new low to determine this election. lawyers threatening to sue "the new york times." if they were to sue the "times" and one of the other publications, a news network, would trump then not have to be deposed in the case? >> he would be deposed, certainly, if this case went forward and the voracity of the claims would be pursued. in civil court, even though they can't be pursued for the reasons i explained. this criminal court, it would be dangerous for donald trump to begin this type of litigation for himself, just because it would reach so muc

lisa bloom and kayleigh mcenany.hy 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 opposed to public policy. voters want to hear about public policy. they don't want to hear about sex. from bill clinton or donald trump. newt gingrich had a moment and she spoke to a lot of women voters and wanted to celebrate that. >> this is not about sex and to is ex-shame megyn kelly schen she's on their side and asking completely appropriate questions not about sex but about sexual assault is really appalling. these guys all in their own unique ways as weave just seen have way of shaming women. abusing women. of the women in their own lives. that is who donald trump chose to surround himself with. we all heard him bragging on the "access hollywood" tape and to say we shouldn't be talking about sexual assault of american women is appalling to me. >> i really think y

we want to bring in gloria alred and lisa bloom, thank you, mother and daughter, by the way. i want to make sure i say that, gloria, because they'll be an issue if i don't say that. let's talk about summer zerbos. at a press conference, her story was riveting. you just heard the apprentice contestant. tell us why your client came forward. >> she came forward, don, because of the "access hollywood" tapes, the billy bush on the bus tapes that we all heard and saw last friday and that really hit a nerve with her, and then combine that with his denial that he's ever acted on those vulgar, crude, disgusting words that he use saused that i don't even want to repeat on television that he essentially grabbed them. he denies that in the debate with hillard rodham clinton. that was the tipping point. she knew she needed to come forward. i might add that you know this was a very difficult decision for her. she didn't want to do it, but she really felt compelled to do it, and he didn't -- he does not deny knowing her. in fact he issued a statement this afternoon where he says he has a va

joining me now is "today" show legal analyst lisa bloom. that's a pretty powerful account.egally speaking, does this account make any difference that these allegations are seven years old? some, they're decades old. >> well, the statute of limitations has run for anything seven years old or decades old. i'm so glad you read it because i think it is important to hear the words from the actual accusers themselves. i represent jill hath, who sued donald trump for sexual harassment in 1997. her account has been out there for 19 years. in the last few months, she's been speaking out about what she says he did to her, which is similar to all these stories. pushing her up against a wall, putting his hand up her skirt, forcibly kissing her. really, she felt vindicated when the "access hollywood" tape came out where he's essentially confessing it. we have a man where a lifetime history of misogyny, about a dozen accusers now, and a taped confession. i don't know what more we need before we start believing women. >> some of these women are coming forward now, a massive pile of them,

. >> now, harth's attorney, lisa bloom, addressed the new audio in relation to these allegations earlier with my colleague, joy reid. i want to play that for a moment and then we'll talk to mark murray on the other side. >> there's, you know, ample proof of his misogyny, but really, it took the revelation yesterday for people to give jill harth some credibility, and i think that's very sad and it shows how far we have to go. >> mark, he already has a gender gap, a pretty large gender gap between donald trump and hillary clinton. does this make that gap larger or is it pretty much solidified where it is? >> well, i think it has the potential to get even wider, katy. and you know, to me, oftentimes, when you end up having controversies or scandals, sometimes it isn't the first controversy or scandal that knocks you out, sometimes it isn't the second one, it becomes the third. and the talking about we're talking about this harth situation right now is, you know, after the revelations that people on "the apprentice" heard, lewd and crude comments from donald trump, then all of a sudden the 2
