In 90 seconds. You will absolutely accept the result of this election . I will tell you at the time. Ill keep you in suspense. Donald trump, wont vow to honor Election Results. Thats horrifying. 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. Surely hes not thinking about trying to stage a coup. But it threatens the very foundations of what this nation is about. Why do you think he did it, mark . Im certain its not the answer they rehearsed. There was a helicopter in the air. Iraqi and u. S. Forces make new gains in the fight to retake mosul. Whats becoming clear is that this is going to take a lot longer than thought. Portland, oregon, a powerful natural gas explosion destroyed a building in a shopping district and injured eight people including three firefighters. So happy. Officials in the philippines are warning the typhoon could produce catastrophic effects. The city is already getting hammered. Ball game cleveland for the sixth time ever. You will have a world series. All that. Were going to security the border but we have some bad hombres here and were going to get them out. Thats just offensive. Why didnt he just say bad dudes. Because there are dudes that would be offended. And all that matters. We saw that hillary still has no regard for Law Enforcement in america. This time defying not the fbi, but the Fashion Police by wearing allwhite after labor day. On cbs this morning. Lock her up leading up to the debate trump has repeatedly said this election is rigged. And ive got to say there was some evidence tonight, look what it says behind hillary, right there. Rigged. I didnt make that up. You cant make that up. You cant make that up. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Morning, norah and gayle are at the site of last nights president ial debate in las vegas. Margaret brennan joins us here in new york. The final debate between donald trump and Hillary Clinton was full of substance and some fireworks. The candidates argued over the economy, their plans to fight isis, and choosing Supreme Court justices. But donald trump made the biggest head line. He refused to say if he will accept the outcome of the election if he does not win. In a cbs news Battle Ground tracker poll out this morning, 63 of likely voters who watched the debate said the candidates should promise to accept the election result. 49 of likely voters in Battle Ground states believe clinton won the debate, 39 say trump won and 12 call it a tie. Norah and gayle led our primetime coverage last night. They join us from the debate site at the university of nevadalas vegas. A very early good morning to the both of you. Yeah. Good morning, margaret. Good morning, margaret and charlie. Thats right. People were stunned when donald trump suggested that he might try to challenge the election if it doesnt go his way. There was an audible gasp in the room when he said that. That is the comment everybody is still talking about this morning. But that is not all the candidates had to talk about. Major garrett is outside the thomas and max center with the biggest moments from last night. Major, good morning. Good morning. There was a deep dive into the issues. Abortion, immigration, the Supreme Court, character, taxes, the federal debt. Even entitlements. And for the most part, the disagreements fell along the ideological lines already established in this campaign. What stood out was the disagreement about something that hasnt been disagreeable before. Whether this election would be fair, and whether the results would be respected. Are you saying youre not prepared now to what im saying is i will tell you at the time. Ill keep you in suspense. Donald trump would not promise to accept the results of the president ial election. Challenging the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. Im not looking at anything now. Ill look at it at the time. Thats horrifying. You know, every time done thinks things are not going in his direction he claims whatever it is is rigged against him. After the debate Trumps Campaign manager and running mate said the gop nominee will reserve judgment until all votes are cast. He has the prerogative to wait and see how the election comes out. Active widespread fraud and irregularity, then you know, well see. On the debate stand trump again denied fume russ allegations of sexual assault. The stories are all totally false, i have to say that. I think they want either fame or her campaign did it. And i think its her campaign. Clinton said trumps answer revealed his true character. Donald thinks belittling women makes him bigger. He goes after their dignity. Their selfworth. And i dont think there is a woman anywhere who doesnt know what that feels like. Quoting from stolen private emails trump accused clinton of wanting to weaken border security. Clinton said the bigger issue was russian espionage. Will donald trump admit and condemn that the russians are doing this. That was a great pivot off the fact that she wants open borders. Okay . How did we get on to putin . Thats because hed rather have a puppet as president. No puppet. No puppet. Its pretty clear youre the puppet. Its pretty clear you wont admit. No youre the puppet. The russians have engaged reporter the puppet show was one of the few edgy clashes. He started tweeting that the emmys were rigged. Should have gotten it. I sat in my apartment today, on a very Beautiful Hotel down the street john podesta said some horrible things about you and boy was he right. My Social Security payroll contribution will go up. As will donalds assuming he cant figure out how to get out of it. But what we want to do is replenish the Social Security trust fund. Such a nasty woman. Republicans we talked to after the debate gave trump solid scores. And said while he might not have done enough to win the election, he might have done enough to keep it close. And that, they said, could help Senate Candidates running down ballot. The difference between a four point loss and a twelve point loss could be five senate seats and control of that body. Wow. Great reporting major. Thank you so much. We saw the candidates challenge each others ideas throughout the debate. But some of the claims on both sides were off the mark. Nancy cordes is in the debate spin room to do some Fact Checking starting with donald trump. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. Well, for the third debate in a row, donald trump expressed doubt that russians are behind the recent hackings of democratic groups. That put him at odds not just with clinton, but with the entire u. S. Intelligence community. She has no idea whether its russia, china, or anybody else. I am not putting 17 you have no idea. 17 intelligence you doubt 17 military and our country has no idea. Agencies well, hed rather believe reporter in this case clinton had it right. Two weeks ago the u. S. Intelligence community announced it is confident that the russian government directed the recent compromises of emails. On the issue of immigration Hillary Clinton wanted the wall. Hillary clinton fought for the wall. In 2006. Reporter trump said clinton agreed with his signature proposal. I voted for border security. And there are and the wall reporter we rate trumps claim as partially true. As senator clinton did vote for a bill to build 700 miles of fencing along parts of the 2,000 mile southern border. But not a massive wall, as trump has proposed. Trump accused clinton last night of hiring people to disrupt his rallies. Shes the one and obama that caused the violence. Reporter the truth on that score is unclear. Democratic contractors were caught on video appearing to plan to provoke trump supporters. But theres no indication Clintons Campaign paid for it, or even knew about it. As in previous debates, trump denied making some controversial comments that are immortalized on video. He said that he could not possibly have done those things to those women, because they were not attractive enough for i did not say that. To be assaulted. I did not say that. Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that i can tell you. He also went after a disabled reporter, mocked and mimicked him on national television. Wrong. I dont remember hes going like i dont remember. Clinton argued last night that her proposals on infrastructure, education, wouldnt add a penny to the national debt. But an independent Analysis Finds that thats false. That she would actually add about 200 billion to the debt over ten years. Gayle, they say thats still far less than trump, who would add 5. 3 trillion to the debt over that same time period. All right. That is a big difference. Thank you very much, nancy. For now lets send it back to charlie and margaret in new york. Hello to you. Hey, gayle, good morning to you and to norah. Thank you. Democratic Vice President ial nominee senator tim kaine is with us from charlotte, North Carolina. Senator, good morning. Good morning, guys. What is your response to the notion by donald trump that he may not respect the Election Results . And if he does not, what happens . Well, charlie, that was the big shocker of the evening. There were others. But you know, i lived in honduras as a nationary 35 years ago, and it was a military dictatorship. And i certainly learned there that one of the central pillars of our democracy is people accepting the outcome of elections, and the peaceful transfer of power. And that donald trump would try to pull that pillar down, after a campaign where he has insulted everybody else, and now hes going to insult the very central premise of our democracy, was a huge shocker. I dont exactly know what it means. But it definitely means this. Everybody should turn out and vote early voting starts in North Carolina today. Lets send the biggest mandate we can so that his whines after the election do not attract any followers. Senator i asked this last night in post debate coverage. Why do you think he said that . I dont have any idea. Although i think hillary may have gotten at something, which is he doesnt take responsibility for stuff. And so if something doesnt go his way, hes not going to say, i guess i should have ran a better campaign. I guess i shouldnt have been so divisive. Hes going to blame it on somebody else. And hillary used the example of him not winning the emmy, and he couldnt resist jumping back and in and said i should have won the emmy that year. He just doesnt know how to take responsibility. But that is a trait that is required, frankly, to be a good president. Respectfully, senator, i mean this made it all the way to the Supreme Court back in 2000, when al gore contested the Election Results. So, does he not have a point in some way to say, lets see what happens, and then ill make a judgment . If all he had said during the entire last few weeks is, of course were going to see what happens on election day, this wouldnt be a controversy. But hes going around again and again perpetrating a lie that the election is rigged. Hes saying that over and over and over again, because he knows that hes losing. And its insulting to voters to look him in the face and say, you guys dont know how to conduct an election. To look at county and state election officials. You dont know how to conduct an election. We do know how to conduct elections. We do it. And thats why the his comment last night was so shocking. Senator, 38 of those we polled in Battle Ground states say that clinton, they dont necessarily believe, tells the truth. You have 19 days left to convince them otherwise. How do you do that . I think what we do is we almost use that Closing Argument that hillary made last night when chris kind of gave them a chance to sum up, and hillary just pointed out that she has a lifetime track record of serving other people with a special focus on families and kids. And what i say about this question on the trail is the best way to tell somebodys character in politics is look and see if they have a passion that showed up in their life before they ran for office, and whether theyve held onto that passion throughout their life. Hillary clinton has a passion. Shes going to wake up every day focusing on how are families and children doing as a barometer for how is the Larger Society doing. Donald trump has a passion, but the passion is himself. Its not to serve other passion that Hillary Clinton put on display last night and that shes demonstrated without her career. Senator, thank you. Lets go back to norah and gayle in las vegas. Thanks. With cbs news political director and face the nation moderator john dickerson. Thank you so much, margaret. Lots to talk about in last nights debate. Here we are again. I think weve gone weve gone through the rigged discussion. Which was unprecedented to hear that from a nominee. Yeah. I mean, its unprecedented for this reason, its there are irregularities in elections, sure. But donald trump is overstating the case to undermine the legitimacy of the election either to get himself out of what he thinks might be a bad result or to whip up his supporters and say this election is being stolen from you, watch out, go into these neighborhoods, in these cities where theres going to be a big democratic vote and watch them. Which democrats read as intimidation. Hes doing this all before the vote ever happened. And the reason that sent shockwaves through republican ranks is its another sign of unpredictability from donald trump that hes going to kick out a pillar of democracy because things arent going this way and thats more i mean this is one in a series, not just but many on team trump are comparing it to al gore. Is that a fair comparison . Al gore did it after the election. This is happening bhf the election. And he was not claiming that the election was rigged at the time either. No, he was debating a specific case. And this is doing it all beforehand and also by the way what he said in the debate which is not that he you know, is on top of everything hes been saying out on the stump, which hes been using to rile up his voters, so it has this double power. Donald trump went into this debate behind. We saw a poll last night people think she won. Outreach. Hes lost ground. Was he able to make any outreach last night . She was punching on every issue. She was trade, abortion, guns, i mean she was punching on everything. She was. But he was also doing very well on his goals which are basically to point out that shes been in, you know, the mix for 30 years and hasnt succeeded. I mean his argument is change. The problem with the story about rigged is that the challenge that donald trump has always, is it too much change. Is it change that turns into chaos. And that answer is more on the chaos and less on the change. So its more it suggests hes a more risky candidate, and thats whats worried those voters who havent jumped into the trump camp. Theyve always worried hes too risky. Today Hillary Clinton is getting very high marks for her chronological takedown of donald trump where she did the 30 years of experience and did decade by decade all the things shes done ending with saying i was in the Briefing Room for Osama Bin Laden while he was hosting celebrity apprentice. To leave that note i thought was very interesting. Although i wonder, because you know, people are basically thinking that those who like donald trump like the idea that he was off doing something else. And just because there are two but the people who like donald trump think yes he has some rough edges, but he can come in and use the business. I thought his response to that was quite good yeah i was off building a big brand and a business thats been successful, employing lots of people. Thats what people like about him. Thats why they trust him on the economy. I think he pivoted quite nicely to his answer. His frustration seemed to come through at the end when he said shes a very nasty woman. Particularly after having said i have Great Respect for women. That undermined his own case in the actual debate. That drew a big laugh in the room when he said i have respect for women. Ending with nasty woman not too good. Were going to have much more from las vegas coming up, Bob Schieffer will join us. For now, back to studio 57. Norah, thanks. Iraqs Prime Minister says the battle to retake mosul from isis is going more quickly than expected. The military offensive advanced overnight to liberate more villages on the outskirts of iraq. Holly williams is with troops taking on the militants north of the city. Good morning. Im about 12 miles north of mosul where these Kurdish Forces have launched a new attack against isis this morning. Theyre trying to recapture 27 villages, and then get within five miles of mosul. There are two villages just over here controlled by the extremists and this morning weve seen the Kurdish Forces pummel them with artillery. Weve also seen two isis drones in the air this morning. Very small, we dont know whether they were armed. But certainly the kurdish troops shot them down very quickly. Earlier this month, two kurdish fighters were killed by an isis drone that was loaded with explosives. Weve also seen iraqs elite special forces move into position east of mosul. They are trying to recapture several christian towns and villages along the main road in to mosul. We spoke with one of their officers yesterday, who bragged that they would be inside mosul within a matter of hours. The reality, though, is that it is very slow going, clearing these towns and villages. Even though most of their residents fled a long time ago. Imagine how much more difficult its going to be to retake mosul. A densely packed city with around a million residents. For cbs this morning, holly williams, north of mosul.
