CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon October 19, 2016 03:00:00

Don lemon. Hillary clinton in las vegas where theyll go headtohead in the final debate. Live pictures youre looking at now, in true las vegas side show, of donald trump, in quiting the kenyan bornbrother of President Obama to be in the audience. Donald trumps troubles over allegations of Sexual Misconduct are far from over. People magazine reports six people have corroborated Sexual Assault claims made by one of the former writers against donald trump. Cnns Jessica Snyder joins us with more on that. Jessica, were talking about Natasha Stoynoff and donald trump continues to denies these allegations. Whats the fallout . The fallout has been sudden, its been swift, and in hours of stoynoff posting this, donald trump discredited her very publicly at a rally, even called her looks into question, as to why he couldnt have possiblySexual Assaulted her and went on a twitter tirade, asking her why she didnt come forward, special fe and feeling now she needs to tell her story and bringing forth six people who are corroborating her story. She is lets see, former Journalism Professor and longterm mentor, paul mclove lynn, right, what is he saying about this . Hes part of the story in. I talked to him on the phone tonight. He says it was back in 2005, hours after stoynoff was allegedly attacked when she called him from her hotel room. He said that she was dismayed, distraught, shaken, angry, but in large part, she also felt betrayed. She felt she and donald trump had this professional business relationship, and all the sudden in her eyes he turned into a predator, so it was a very difficult time for her and the first person she turned to was her mentor and her Journalism Professor and he actually spoke out tonight to cnns aaron burnet saying he will support her then and will always support her. Take ali listen. A man what he did to natasha and says what he says, it takes what he did and adds another despicable level to it. I know what she told me was true. She wasnt in 2005, calling me in anticipation on doing somethingti something negative to him in a president ial campaign. Thats preposterous. At the time, he advised her not to take any action. Why is that from. Paul was really worried about this. He thought if she spoke out and went to her editors, donald trump would retaliate and blacklist her as a journalist and do things that would destroy her career, so his advice to her that she ended up taking was to and to get taken off the donald trump beat, to no longer write about him, and as we know, she had no further by lines relating to donald trump. Lets talk about the Melania Trump andand Coop Anderson coop interview. There was a claim she bumped on to her on fifth avenue, and Melania Trump is saying that never happened. What is stoynoff saying . Shes staying pretty much above the fray, but whats interesting is People Magazine has put forth someone who was with stoynoff when this happened, and they ran into melania, and stoynoff chatted for a bit and the one thing this friend remember business that occasion is that Melania Trump was carrying baron as a baby and wearing high heels at the time, so she seems to have a very vivid recollection of this happening. Stoynoff is only still peaking out about donald trump himself. In fact, issuing this very biting quote about him in People Magazine today, ill what does it mean for donald trump and the Donald Trump Campaign . Its not good news. The allegations she has corroborated in some parts because she had told people of them at the time that they had occurred and didnt just come out with a story to try to takedown his candidacy. This is a very damaging and difficult thing for donald trump to deal with because in one respect, he has to deal with it publicly, because he has to try to put an end to it and another respect though he has to deal with the fact he needs to talk about other issues, and policy issues, he needs to try to move beyond it. So this is a very tough spot for donald trump to be in and not only her but all the other women who have made allegations against him. Bob, Melania Trump spoke out to try to contain the damage about allegations of Sexual Assault and groping. Heres what she said to anderson. I believe my husband. This was all organized from the happened . Sure. I think overall, Melania Doing The Interview was a good thing for donald trump, i think it would have been better if donald trump was with her during the interview. But you have its the same thing that Hillary Clinton, she cant shake the email issue, he cant shake these accusers of he said she said, and i dont think its going to be ending any time soon and you really look at Donald Trumps numbers with women. He needs to improve them if hes going to win this election. These type of desires, stories know who is telling the truth, but they dont help him. It sort of reminded me of the 60 minutes interview with im not some little Tammy Wynette standing by my man and we realize some of the things against bill clinton turned out to be true. Looking back if were talking to each other ten, 20 years into the future well be looking back at this Melania Trump and possibly thinking the same thing, bob . I dont i think it depends on who wins on november 8th. But because there have been so many women that have come forward in the wake of the Access Hollywood tape, which was very damaging to trump, you never know, but at the same time, this is what this is what politicians do. Theyre accused of stuff. We dont know who is telling the truth, but accusation, after accusation, it does add up, it leads to bad headlines, and thats bad for trump. And mark, it is showing up in the polls because five National Polls published within the last couple days shows clinton with a significant lead. How much pressure does that put on donald trump to try to get this, you know, allegations of sex abuse or groping behind him, and then how much does it put on him to win tomorrow . How much pressure . Lets just say by this time tomorrow, donald trump will put his campaign on track or hell be derailed. He has one last opportunity to hit upwards of 50 million, to 60 million people, and try to d discredit. He needs to not talk about exsexsex u ual allegations. He needs to talk about how hes going to change washington. He was no colorado just a few hours ago and he didnt talk a whole lot about the sexual allegations. He talked about he was going to drain the swamp and bring change to washington, d. C. Thats a much better message for donald trump, and anybody running as an outsider like donald trump is, a, get your base solidified again and hes got to get the Middle Of The Road voters. The rigged election part of the strategy tomorrow . Its crazy if it is, because its something that while it plays well in these big rallies that hes doing, at some point when you have everybody going out there, including president obama, some would say its predi predictable to dismiss it, you have the Ohio Governor who is going to vote for donald trump, saying donald trump is wrong, as well as republican leaders. Its not a withnning strategy. Whats a grand slam for donald trump tomorrow . A grand slam is he shows hes president ial, he does not take the bait when Hillary Clinton says something, that he talks about what he wants to talk b talking about trade, talking about the economy and mark i definitely agree if you want the status quo, you vote for her. If you the want change, you vote for me. If he can do all of that he hasnt shown he can, he can win this debate. Whats a home run . I think a home run is anything that isnt a big loss. If she loses narrowly, shes looses looses on points thats still a win because of her points right now. Shes got to play it safe, go to a fourcorners offense and run out the. She cant be too tepid, and has to fire back. I think they are going to shake hands because i think shell try and set a different tone. Well come back trump speaking out in the accusations against her father. Will it help his campaign . When coughing keeps your family awake. Breathe easier with vicks vaporub.

We catch flo, the progressive girl, at the supermarket buying cheese. Scandal alert flo likes dairy . woman busted [ laughter ] right afterwards we caught her Riding Shotgun with a mystery man. Oh, yeah [ Indistinct Shouting ] is this your chauffeur . What . no, i was just showing him how easy it is to save with snapshot from progressive. You just plug it in and it gives you a rate based on your driving. Does she have insurance for being boring . [ Light Laughter ] laugh bigger. [ laughter ] the tape was released, my fathers comments are clearly inappropriate, and im glad my father gave an apology to the American People. Is this statement enough . No is this sort of i think the nice thing about the way elections work is every american e eve , every man and woman decides if this is the person we want in the white house. And im not going to judge ivanka, or her and trumps relationship what else would you say . Exactly. Thats his daughter, and thats their relationship. I do believe in spite of the mess thats become we should let private Family Issues be Family Issues. The thing here is the voting public and whether we are going to accept a man who has brag body Sexual Assault, who has a history of public Misess Ojonny do we want him as our leader. Free world . Absolutely not. It doesnt help one bit. Do you agree with what her assessment of what mel knania tp said, we should let Family Issues are priefevate . Theres not a whole lot of room for privacy. Having ivanka and and melani speak, they put a softer side on him, and melanias interview was good, first and foremost, what a lot of people wanted to hear is donald trump apologized to her, she accepted his apology and she said she hopes the American People do. I think the mistake was a couple things, going on to say this was boy talk let me play some of it and you can go on with your response. I said to my husband the language is inappropriate, its not acceptable, and i was surprised because that is not the man that i know, and as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on, it was only a mic and i wonder if they even knew that the mic was on, because they were kind of boy talk, and he was leading on like egg on from the host to say durirty and bad stuff. Pardon me, i didnt mean to interrupt you, but blaming billy bush and saying it was boy talk. They see it for what it was. It wasnt boy talk. It wasnt Locker Room Talk. This was aid gro grown man, run for past of the United States and thats how people see it. For her to blame or anyone to blame it on billy bush egging it on, its a tremendous mistake because it leads the appearance that hes not actually taking responsibility for his own actions and thats exactly what he should have been doing. Actually, this interview should have been done ten days ago. Youve done this a time or two. My question, the same thing i anded about and asked about ivanka, what would you have melani assaa say . Basically understanding the American People understand personally hes apologized and theyre moving forward. Other than that case closed, leave it at that and move on to more important issues. I think thats what the American People want, and i think he needs to move on. We could have had an entire week of talking about issues that are strong for him. I think talking about draining the swamp, doing away with washington as usual, thats going to be a good message moving forward and remindingAmerican People who he won the republican nomination leading on the economy and immigration and issues Like National security, and those are the things that we need to spend the next few days talking about and not talking about these issues and certainly we dont need to be blaming the women because hell hath no fury like a scorned donald, and that also is a tremendous mistake. I appreciate your candor. How do you not though when people say dont talk about these things and you tell someone, dont look at her hair, youre going to keep staring. Do you think people are going to continue even though hes try ago is he going to talk about it . Whens he going to Say Something . Is she going to Say Something . Do you think thats going to be part of it, sally . The unfortunate thing about this election is weve talked about issues apparently about 11 of the time, at least those numbers were through july of this year. 11 of the time spent on issues at a time when we have still a struggling, recovering economy, when we have concerns of security and isis and all of these things. 11 . So this is a tabloid election. We talk about this stuff. Were going to continue talking about it. I do think the issue though is it cant be separated from donald trump and his character. He youre electing not just a person for the ideas and he doesnt have any so what else do we have him left . We judge him on his character. I want to play this. Manu raju, our reporter in washington said, i was an athlete and no one talked that way donald trump and billy bush did on the Access Hollywood bus, watch this. We have now ten women that we know that have come forward that he Sexual Assaulted them. Thats a crime. Do you think hes committed a crime . I dont know. You know, you have to have somebody file a complaint, you know, you cant do it without someone having these are people who are trapped. They are with this man in Public Places and like an airplane, puts his hands under somebodys skirt in an airplane. The woman moves her seat. I mean i for me, i cant understand i dont know about a crime, but it is kind of a sickness. So alice quickly because i need to move o. I have to ask you Something Else thats just as important. Thats a pretty serious thing for him to say. The. A it is. In terms of whether these instances are true or not, its disturbing and unfortunately, to harry reids point, unfortunately a lot of times when situations like this happen, women cant come forward for whatever reason, for their job, or they feel intimidated by a man in power, so i think these are all issues that are side issues that can and should be talked about at some point, but in terms of the president ial election, i think we need to look at the Bigger Picture in terms of this happened, hes apologized for it, hes trying to move on and i think further for the good of this and let people judge for themselves. I want to play this is ed rollins chair of the pro donald trump Great America pack. He said this today. Itf somehow trump pulls a miracle, which would take a miracle at this point, and obviously his party he can do what he wants with it. If not i think we begin from ground zero with lots of different facts and candidates. Is he right . Will it take a miracle . I love ed rollins and hes my political mentor. Its a difficult situation. Hillary clinton is trying to run out the clock. The latest polls show him down 20 points amongst women in the key battleground states one month ago, hillary was just up five points amangst women, now shes up 15 points amongst women. Women take up 53 of the eli electora electorate, so donald trump needs to try and make up ground in the last three weeks and has his work cut out for him. Its a difficult road ahead. Its never impossible. Never rule out donald trump. Hes been counted down and out before but its going to be a difficult road. Alice speaking the truth tonight. Go ahead here. He insulted duo you think its a miracle do you think its a miracle if donald trump if he can come back. Yes, ive been praying for it every night. Im losing myself in double flegtives. It will take a miracle for donald trump to win. Listen, then ive stopped making predictions about this election, you know, because hes defied everying iss every single one of them, but this is the miracle i hope for, the american peel aople are bet than this, not the insults of everyone under the sun, but please be better than this. Please. Please. Thank you, ladies. Thanks, don. When we come back weve been hearing a lot of Locker Room Talk in the wake of the lewd donald trump tape, but wait until you hear what donald trump has to say about what goes on in the locker room. Afoot and
