Those were the words of republican nominee donald trump ended up releasing what he said was an apology late saturday night. He said the following, i will never drop out of the race, will never let my supporters down. Also trumps wife melania put out a statement calling his words offensive. Then she went on saying, i hope people will accept his apology as i have and focus on issues facing our nation and the world. Trump is lik the question now is how much damage will this do to the Republican Party. Already a parade of republicans have either condemned trumps comments, condemned or called on hill to st. Patricks down as the nominee all together. Some are worried about their own prospects this fall, others are simply disgusted with trumps words. Even maker of tic tac candies 2005 billy bush, then host of access hollywood has sent the Republican Party reeling. Reince priebus, no woman should ever be talked about in those terms ever. House Speaker Paul Ryan disinvited trump to a saturday event calling the comments sickening. There is a bit of an elephant in the room. It is a troubling situation. Not leader Mitch Mcconnell called onu women and girls everywhere. Republicans rushed calling them offensive, inappropriate, outrageous, demeaning, disgraceful, indefensible and impossible to justify. I think the president ial race is effectively over. The idea he can resurrect his Campaign Based on this town hall debate is not going to happen. Republicans in tough races were the first to withdraw support and the dominoes kept on donald trump for president , just cant do it. Step aside. Step down. I think its degrading to ou women, . . Our daughters, . . Our what[ . . It means for republi candidates across the boarf . Is now they are . . Going to have to run their individual campaigns without the traditional help from the top of the ticket. Trump finally did apologize in a facebook video late friday night. I said it. I was wrong, and i ol the apology and instead called the revelation a distraction and attacked the clintons. Bill clinton has actually abused women and hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed, and intimidated his victims. On friday, pence defended trump. They will say this time we got him. This time we found theres another tweet thats come out. This time weve got another thing, another issue thats come forward. Then they turn on the Television Trump is Still Standing stronger than ever before. But by saturday pence had released a statement saying, i do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them. Its not clear republican officials could dump trump even if they wanted to. Republicans are already voting. Many ballot certification deadlines have passed and the ballots are already in voters hands. So far trump himself has said he isnt going anywhere. See you at the debate on sunday. And joining me now is trump supporter Rudy Giuliani. Mr. Mayor, welcome back. How are you, chuck . Backtoback meet the press. Let me start with this, definitively, is there any circumstance where donald trump would not show up to tonights debate in st. Louis . Oh, no. Hes showing up. Hes as prepared as hes ever been and hes all ready for the debate tonight. Hes obviously, you know, feels what hed like to do is move onto the issues that are facing the American People. They only have a few more days to kind of think about it. Let me ask you this, Kellyanne Conway was supposed to come on this show defending donald trump, Reince Priebus was supposed to go on other shows. They all pulled out. Only you are out defending donald trump. Are you the only one in the campaign that was willing to defend him . No, absolutely not. I was with kellyanne all day yesterday. She could have just as easil the same thing is true with chris. Okay. So im the one who was selected for the show but either one of the two of them would probably say pretty much the same thick i was saying. I was with them all day yesterday. As you know in the last 24 hours, a slew of republicans from across the country. I sure do. Have said, he needs to reexamine his candidacy. Cory gardener, he needs to step aside allow mike pence. Thune, donald trump should condoleezza rice, he should withdraw. There is any chance that donald trump is going to listen to these Republican Party leaders that are begging him to withdraw . I think he answered that yesterday by saying hes in the race. Hes going to remain in the race. He was selected by more Republican Voters than anyone has ever been selected in a republican primary. He owes them the duty to run. It is true he said something said a group of things during that interview that are reprehensible and terrible and about it. It was 10 or 12 years ago. He wasnt at that time running for office. He wasnt thinking of office. Hes gone through i think a very, very intensive process, as you know, in running for president. The last 14 months hes been all over the country. He understands the responsibilities on his shoulders now which werent there back then of all these people who believe in him, believe he can reduce taxes, tremendous rising crime. Last year mr. Mayor, let me understand last year crime went up more than in 41 years. Thats extraordinary. Let me go back to this tape. He didnt apologize for attacking a gold star family. He didnt apologize to questioning the nature of a federal judge just because of his ethnicity. Why did he choose to apologize for this . Well, i think in this case he realized it was were talking ou his statements that were absolutely wrong. I think when he heard them he was shocked. Im not sure im not going to say he didnt remember them but they probably werent at the top of his mind. When he was confronted with it, he was pretty darn shocked he said such terrible things. He feels terrible about it. He feels terrible for his family and how embarrassing it is for them. He feels terrible from his own point of view. He also realizes he has a responsibility. I think the last 14 months have let me play for you. This isnt the first time hes talked this way. Here he was with howard stern. Take a listen. Ill tell you the funniest is that ill go back stage before a show. Yes. Of is getting dressed and ready and Everything Else. No men . Wv are . . Anywhere. And im allowed to go in because im the owner of the pageant and im inspecting it. Youre like a doctor. Is everyone okay . They are standing there with no clothes. Is everyone okay . You see these incredible women. You sort of get away with things like that. That wasnt 11 years ago, that was 2008. He wasnt running for president. He was on a shock jock show. Howard stern is a friend of mine. Why is this idea let me ask you this, mr. Mayor, why is the idea hes not running for president so its okay to be a misogynist, its okay to make saying its the right thing to do. Im saying, for example, when i was mayor of new york and i went on howard stern show, i made sure we didnt fool around, didnt tell jokes, didnt say things that would shock people. On that show a lot of things that are said arent true. You just say them because they are funny. Im a good friend of howard stern and i really like him a lot. Every time i was on his show, my people, my mayors people, handled it so we never talked about things like youre a politician or not. Its not about saying it, mr. Mayor, its doing it. Hes bragging about making unwanted sexual advances. It is wrong. Youre saying the words are wrong. How about the actions. Well, the actions would be even worse if we were actions. Talk and actions are two different things. Wait a minute. New york times, temple tagart was 21yearold beauty an unwanted advance. Turned it over in her head for years. Watching the video made me feel a lot better. It was like, thank you, now no one can say i made this up. Youre implying this stuff was made up. Im not saying it was made up. Im saying were talking about things he was talking about. I dont know how much is exaggerating. I dont know how much is true. I dont know the details of it. I do know this is unfortunately the kind of talk that ges shouldnt talk about this. This is wrong. He realizes that. He understands it now. Hes running for president. He realizes that hes0l . Got th weight of the responsibility of all these people on his shoulder and this something hes not going to do in the future. Lp hes very apologetic about it and wants to move onto whats going to be really important 30 days from now. He is going to lower taxes. Shes going to raise taxes. Hes going to add to our military, support the police at a time when weve had the biggest increase in crime in the last 41 years. Hes going to take on radical islamic terrorism. Hes not one . ; . Thing hes n is what came across in wikileaks, that is two people. Hillary clinton actually specifically described shes two different people. To the financial people who are giving millions of dollars, shes on their side and wants to be a big part of theroh governm but she tells them she has to pretend to everybody she isn clinton says one thing in private and that means what she really is is what she is in private, should we assume what donald trump did in that access hollywood bus is really what . In private . Thats what youre implying here with Hillary Clinton. . Know, chuck, the reality is that in both cases, both people have things in their personal lives that maybe if they could redo it, they would situation in which neither side should throw stones because both sides have sinned. So how about we . Ue . That behind us and Start Talking about who is going to lowe . ] taxes, who i going to say the word radical islamic terrorism so we can finally defeat them, and who is going to best be able to support the police so the largest increase in crimeq . In 41 years isnt going to become a trend. Is it donald trump and his policies or Hillary Clinton who has had a chance shes been years and 70 of the country thinks were mooching in the wrong direction. Shes one of the reasons for it. Mr. Mayor, last question. Has he ruled out bringing up bill clintonli personal life a tonights debate . I believe he will not bring up bill clintons personal life. I do believe theres a possibility hell talk about Hillary Clintons situation if it gets to 2x] . That. I dont think he prefers . To that. But i think he will. What does that mean . What situation . That have been reported in various books and magazines and other places about the women that bill clinton raped, sexually abused and attacked. Not bill clintons role but her role as the attacker. Well, ive run out of time because i know you have to do another television interview, but those allegations have not been true. Wed rather not get into that. All right. Mr. Mayor, ill leave it there. Well watch tonights debate. Views. Joining me now is the first republican senator to call on trump to step down, mike lee of the Democratic Party has chosen to be party of personality cult during president ial election cycle. I dont think we have to follow that path. The path i would suggest is a path that would bring republicans together, bring together those grassroots activists who have made donald trump so successful, who have had this a new leader, a republican leader who can win, who can defeat Hillary Clinton. Thats what unites us more than Everything Else as republicans, the fact washington political establishment is broken and Hillary Clinton needs to be defeated. We need al that. I would like to see q . The Republican Party identify such a party andb5 . T that change. You identified flaws with you over the last 48 hours. A lot of democrats and even some voters in the middle are going to say why now . Why did you wait until, there was some like raised questions in light of warning signs early on. There were a lot of others who wanted to be persuaded, who hoped they might be persuaded between now and november. What was released less than 48 hours ago was less than persuasive. In fact, it turned a lot of people off to the point that i have serious doubts now about mr. Trumps ability to defeat Hillary Clinton. In fact, i dont think he can. There is aoh . E . Here for mr. Election cycle and for his supporters, who are really energetic and have done a whole lot of good as far as expanding the party, to have a Lasting Legacy that could mean something here. That is for donald trump to step aside and for the Republican Party to find a candidate who can bring together all the elements within the Republican Party and defeat Hillary Clinton in november. Thats what we want to do. Thats what we need to do now. If Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan jointly made that plea that send a powerful message. I know youve been urging others to join your cause. What would you like to hear speaker ryan and senator mcconnell have denounced donald trump, so far they are sticking by him. They are the current leaders of your party. Do they need to step up . Look, i would always encourage any other republicans, whether they are leaders, whether they are in congress or not, to step up and make their opinions known. We dont want to see Hillary Clinton elected president and weve got lots of other people who can do this. Our party is not a personality cult, our party is about ideas. Its about ideas that will reinvigorate americas middle class, help the poor get out of poverty and end this washington centric mindset that has been crippling the american economy. We can do that. Weve got candidates that can do it. Theres still time to do it and we have to actually do it. That candidate for you, is im agnostic at this point about who it might be. Theres still time to decide who it should be. The point is mr. Trump, in order for any of this to happen, needs to step aside. I need to make very clear we cannot win this election without donald trump supporters, but we also cant win this election at the top of the ballot and in manyp . Cases down ballot withoua different president ial candidate. Thats why the time to act really is now. Utah. Appreciate you coming on this morning, getting up early out there. Thank you, chuck. Always appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your views. When we come back, can republicans do what mike lee is pleading to do, bump donald trump off the ticket . What happens if he does decide to step down, could they get to step down, could they get another name on state ballots. Welcome to the world 2116, you can fly across town in minutes or across the globe in under an hour. Provide earth with unlimited clean power. In less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. And if you thought that was amazing, you just wait. . . Hey girlfriend, hows your cafe au lait . Oh, its actually. Sfx short balloon squeal its ver. Sfx balloon squeals ok can we. Sfx balloon squeals w how your coffee is. Its. Sfx balloon squeals hahahaha, i had a 2nd balloon goodbye oof, that milk in your coffee was messing with you, wasnt it . Yeah. Happens to more people than you think. Try lactaid, its real milk, without that annoying lactose. Mmm. Good right . Yeah. Welcome back. Steve schmidt is here with us, Senior Adviser to john mccain and heather mcgee, ruth marcus, and sara fagen who is a political director during george w. Bushs administration. I want to start with what mike lee is pleading to do. He said theres still time. You both dealt with deadlines, is there time . There functionally isnt it. People have been voting in florida and north carolina. 18 states will have started early voting so you can do it symbolically. It may be useful for the Senate Candidates to have a different face of thelogistically. What happens tonight . Well, you will see someone who is manifestly unprepared for talking about what a policy perspective. Who lacks the requisite dignity required of someone who wishes to be the head of state of the government of the United States. And someone who lacks the capacity to be the commander in chief of the most powerful military and the worlds most potent nuclear arsenal. I would suggest theres another way, in which that sounding contrite. We will is or not, he will do his best to exhibit contrition, but it will only last for so long. And these tweets and Everything Else were seeing suggesting hell go after bill clinton, he just he showed us last time around he cant keep it together for 90 minutes. Heather, i dont mean to interrupt, but literally, so Rudy Giuliani says no hes not donald trump has tweeted a video interview with juanita broaddrick. Thats what he tweeted a few minutes ago. I think we know where his head is at. And suddenly that conservatives can create this last minute facelift is real folly. The idea that mike pence will somehow rise as the man who can return the republican ticket to the fold of few mail voters, women havent gone for the republican president ial nominee mike pence is someone who was the initial sponsor of the bill to cut off funding for planned parenthood. He cut off funding for planned parenthood in indiana which led to the Public Health crisis. He signed a bill to give Women Services for the fetal tissue this is a party okay. We know who youre running aside. The republicans did very well with women. Let me throw out the women numbers by the way. This was before all this among women in our last nbc news poll, Hillary Clinton was ahead by 51 . He was actually, sarah overperforming his favorable rating with women by 13 points. Is it possible he could actually go lower with women . I thinks women. We saw friday indicates that he will go lower and what we also dont know is what else is still out there. Theres a month left in this campaign. You know, you think about the tax bombshell a week ago. Now this. Its hard for me to believe that well go a month without some other signific
