00:00:16,249 --> 00:00:17,383
>> Tonight...

3
00:00:17,383 --> 00:00:20,586
>> I, Donald John Trump,
do solemnly swear...

4
00:00:20,586 --> 00:00:23,255
>><i> As Donald Trump begins
 his presidency...</i>

5
00:00:23,255 --> 00:00:27,160
>> We had won the election that
no one thought we could win.

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,729
>><i> The inside story of how
 he got there.</i>

7
00:00:29,729 --> 00:00:32,332
>> Once I understood that he was
willing to double down and be

8
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,934
a fighter for what he believes 
in, I'm all in.

9
00:00:34,934 --> 00:00:36,936
>> They'd be carried out
on a stretcher, folks.

10
00:00:36,936 --> 00:00:40,640
>> It felt like a box of matches
even before he took the stage,

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,776
and they were just waiting
for Donald Trump to come

12
00:00:42,776 --> 00:00:43,776
and light it.

13
00:00:43,776 --> 00:00:45,344
>><i> From his closest advisors...</i>

14
00:00:45,344 --> 00:00:48,348
>> I had said to Mr. Trump one
day, "Are you ready to win?"

15
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:49,415
>><i> And his rivals.</i>

16
00:00:49,415 --> 00:00:50,884
>> Director Comey's letter...

17
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:52,718
>> Just got smacked
by a two-by-four.

18
00:00:52,718 --> 00:00:55,221
And it came out of nowhere.

19
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,023
>><i> The provocative campaign...</i>

20
00:00:57,023 --> 00:00:59,725
>> Nobody knows the system
better than me.

21
00:00:59,725 --> 00:01:01,360
>><i> ...to the presidency.</i>

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,133
>> Which is why I alone can
fix it.

23
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:08,167
>><i> Tonight on</i> Frontline...

24
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:09,235
>> So help me God...

25
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:12,627
>><i> "Trump's Road
 to the White House."</i>

26
00:01:34,627 --> 00:01:37,830
>> Tonight's program contains
graphic language.

27
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:39,067
Viewer discretion is advised.

28
00:01:42,067 --> 00:01:43,503
>> Today is finally the day.

29
00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:45,604
The presidential nominees have
made their final...

30
00:01:45,604 --> 00:01:47,605
>> Today is decision day in
America and we are taking a look

31
00:01:47,605 --> 00:01:48,775
at the presidential race...

32
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:50,009
>> After a long, contentious
presidential race...

33
00:01:51,009 --> 00:01:52,378
>> NARRATOR: On Election Day,

34
00:01:52,378 --> 00:01:54,914
Donald Trump and his senior
campaign team were huddled

35
00:01:54,914 --> 00:01:56,248
at Trump Tower.

36
00:01:56,248 --> 00:01:57,950
>> They went into election night

37
00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:00,319
believing that they were going
to lose.

38
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:02,521
>> ...as the polls close across
the country...

39
00:02:02,521 --> 00:02:04,956
>> NARRATOR: At 5:00 they
received the first exit polls.

40
00:02:04,956 --> 00:02:06,827
>> We're counting down to the
first poll closings right now...

41
00:02:07,827 --> 00:02:09,828
>> When we got those early
returns, the exit polls,

42
00:02:09,828 --> 00:02:15,735
and I actually got it about
5:01, we all had

43
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:16,735
a little bit of a gut punch.

44
00:02:16,735 --> 00:02:18,037
>> If Trump wants to win,

45
00:02:18,037 --> 00:02:20,673
he's got to hold onto Florida
and North Carolina...

46
00:02:20,673 --> 00:02:22,842
>> In state after state he was
so far behind that I knew

47
00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:24,143
that he was going to lose,

48
00:02:24,143 --> 00:02:26,878
because the exit polls don't
get it wrong.

49
00:02:26,878 --> 00:02:30,449
>> We were getting crushed in
like Michigan, Pennsylvania.

50
00:02:30,449 --> 00:02:34,353
I mean just... and so, from like
6:00 on, you know,

51
00:02:34,353 --> 00:02:36,556
we're all like, "Oh, my God."

52
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,423
>> And look at all these wins
we're projecting

53
00:02:38,423 --> 00:02:39,491
for Hillary Clinton right now.

54
00:02:39,491 --> 00:02:41,661
Take a look at the electoral
map now...

55
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:42,861
>> NARRATOR: It seemed to
confirm what the media

56
00:02:42,861 --> 00:02:45,663
and political establishment
had been saying for months:

57
00:02:45,663 --> 00:02:48,002
Donald Trump never had a chance.

58
00:02:50,002 --> 00:02:52,672
>> Every senior Republican that
I talked to,

59
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:58,076
with only one exception, thought
that Trump was going to lose.

60
00:02:58,076 --> 00:03:00,246
>> NARRATOR: But as the votes
were counted in Florida,

61
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:01,580
a surprise.

62
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:04,216
>> And CNN projects Donald
Trump will carry the state

63
00:03:04,216 --> 00:03:05,351
of Florida.

64
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:07,620
With its 29 electoral votes,
Donald...

65
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,021
>> NARRATOR: Florida was just
the beginning.

66
00:03:10,021 --> 00:03:12,491
>> There's a big ole call to
make right now.

67
00:03:12,491 --> 00:03:13,991
Donald Trump has won
the state of Wisconsin

68
00:03:13,991 --> 00:03:16,829
and there goes her blue wall.

69
00:03:16,829 --> 00:03:18,130
>> Late on election night

70
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:22,101
one of his senior campaign
officials emailed me

71
00:03:22,101 --> 00:03:25,571
and just said, "Can you type
President Trump?"

72
00:03:25,571 --> 00:03:30,610
>> Fox News has called
Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

73
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:33,279
>> Our communications director,
Jason Miller, held up and said,

74
00:03:33,279 --> 00:03:34,347
"A.P. just called."

75
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,715
And I said, "Just called what?
Which state?"

76
00:03:36,715 --> 00:03:38,449
And he said, "The whole race."

77
00:03:38,449 --> 00:03:39,752
>> This means that Donald Trump

78
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:44,289
will be the 45th president
of the United States.

79
00:03:44,289 --> 00:03:51,128
The most unreal, surreal
election we have ever seen.

80
00:03:51,128 --> 00:03:52,131
>> Chris Christie's son said,

81
00:03:52,131 --> 00:03:53,999
"Kellyanne, your phone is
ringing."

82
00:03:53,999 --> 00:03:56,034
And I looked down and it said
Huma Abedin.

83
00:03:56,034 --> 00:03:57,736
And she said, "Secretary
Clinton would like to speak

84
00:03:57,736 --> 00:03:58,537
with Mr. Trump."

85
00:03:58,537 --> 00:03:59,472
And I said, "Right now?"

86
00:03:59,472 --> 00:04:01,139
And she said, "If he's
available."

87
00:04:01,139 --> 00:04:02,241
And I said, "He's available."

88
00:04:02,241 --> 00:04:04,410
And I said, "Sir, Secretary
Clinton."

89
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:07,580
>> NARRATOR: She had been
first lady, a senator,

90
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,949
and secretary of state.

91
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:13,752
She conceded to an
entrepreneur, reality TV star,

92
00:04:13,752 --> 00:04:16,321
and novice politician.

93
00:04:16,321 --> 00:04:19,524
The call lasted about a minute.

94
00:04:19,524 --> 00:04:20,892
>> In an electoral college

95
00:04:20,892 --> 00:04:24,464
victory that virtually no one
saw coming a year ago,

96
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:27,065
a few months ago...

97
00:04:27,065 --> 00:04:28,701
Even a month ago,
even yesterday...

98
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:30,702
>> It was an "Oh, my God"
moment.

99
00:04:30,702 --> 00:04:33,471
It was euphoria that we had won
the election

100
00:04:33,471 --> 00:04:36,879
that no one thought
we could win.

101
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:41,214
>> NARRATOR: Not long after,

102
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:45,216
to the music from Harrison
Ford's movie<i> Air Force One,</i>

103
00:04:45,216 --> 00:04:50,555
the president-elect arrived
at his victory celebration.

104
00:04:50,555 --> 00:04:53,658
>> Even for him, it was an
overwhelming feeling

105
00:04:53,658 --> 00:04:59,031
to see yourself be elected
president of the United States.

106
00:05:00,031 --> 00:05:04,069
>> You're never going to see
anybody like this again.

107
00:05:04,069 --> 00:05:07,505
He is somebody that defied every
political rule that existed

108
00:05:07,505 --> 00:05:10,410
in a way that nobody
has ever done before.

109
00:05:11,410 --> 00:05:12,178
>> It's my honor.

110
00:05:12,178 --> 00:05:13,279
It's an amazing evening.

111
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,714
It's been an amazing
two-year period.

112
00:05:15,714 --> 00:05:19,384
And I love this country.

113
00:05:19,384 --> 00:05:20,685
Thank you.

114
00:05:20,685 --> 00:05:23,055
>> NARRATOR: It was
an unprecedented outcome.

115
00:05:23,055 --> 00:05:25,391
Over 17 months, Donald Trump
had broken nearly every rule

116
00:05:25,391 --> 00:05:28,726
of American politics.

117
00:05:28,726 --> 00:05:33,132
Then came the question whether
the way he had campaigned

118
00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:35,033
would be the way
he would govern.

119
00:05:36,033 --> 00:05:37,737
>> Trump is going to be Trump.

120
00:05:37,737 --> 00:05:40,572
This idea that you can make him
into something else, that's not

121
00:05:40,572 --> 00:05:42,341
what the people voted for.

122
00:05:42,341 --> 00:05:44,642
They voted for Trump as he is.

123
00:05:44,642 --> 00:05:47,379
That's the way they want him
to be.

124
00:05:47,379 --> 00:05:49,514
And nobody is going
to remake him.

125
00:05:49,514 --> 00:05:53,985
He will either succeed or fail
being Donald Trump.

126
00:05:53,985 --> 00:05:56,023
>> The sheer unpredictability
of a President Donald Trump...

127
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,791
>> ...how unpredictable the new
terrain here in Washington is...

128
00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:02,827
>> ...is this our new normal,
is there reason for concern?

129
00:06:02,827 --> 00:06:04,863
>> It's the creation of a new
reality.

130
00:06:04,863 --> 00:06:06,598
>> Donald Trump has broken the
rules of what it means

131
00:06:06,598 --> 00:06:07,666
to be president-elect.

132
00:06:07,666 --> 00:06:09,634
>> What Trump are we going
to see, do you think?

133
00:06:09,634 --> 00:06:11,637
>> We're going to constantly
have rules that are broken,

134
00:06:11,637 --> 00:06:13,072
and my way or the highway...

135
00:06:13,072 --> 00:06:15,675
>> A President Trump is
very much a wild card...

136
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:17,209
>> We'll call it a political
earthquake, an unraveling

137
00:06:17,209 --> 00:06:19,077
of the system, or even
a revolution...

138
00:06:19,077 --> 00:06:21,413
>> NARRATOR: The seeds of
Donald Trump's presidency are

139
00:06:21,413 --> 00:06:24,382
embedded in his path to power.

140
00:06:24,382 --> 00:06:25,550
He redefined what it meant

141
00:06:25,550 --> 00:06:29,488
to be a serious presidential
candidate,

142
00:06:29,488 --> 00:06:30,793
starting with his announcement.

143
00:06:34,793 --> 00:06:41,333
>> I remember watching the
announcement, and laughing

144
00:06:41,333 --> 00:06:44,204
at the entertainment value,
the way a lot of people did.

145
00:06:46,204 --> 00:06:49,107
>> In Washington you could
almost just hear people

146
00:06:49,107 --> 00:06:52,911
around town laughing at the...
at the... at the idea

147
00:06:52,911 --> 00:06:57,283
that this person was going to be
a credible threat.

148
00:06:57,283 --> 00:06:58,017
He seemed like a cartoon
character.

149
00:06:59,017 --> 00:07:03,422
>> He did the exact opposite of
what every candidate has done

150
00:07:03,422 --> 00:07:04,956
before him.

151
00:07:04,956 --> 00:07:05,824
It was like extending
the middle finger

152
00:07:05,824 --> 00:07:08,160
to the political establishment.

153
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,031
And in doing that in that very
first moment, people took a look

154
00:07:12,031 --> 00:07:15,666
at him and said, "You know
what, he really is different."

155
00:07:15,666 --> 00:07:18,771
>> That is some group of people,
thousands...

156
00:07:19,771 --> 00:07:21,973
>> I wrote what was supposed
to be his announcement speech,

157
00:07:21,973 --> 00:07:23,976
and that speech was supposed to
clock in at about seven minutes

158
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:24,009
and 43 seconds.

159
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:27,279
>> We got to make the country
rich.

160
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:28,214
It sounds crass.

161
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,149
Somebody said,
"Oh, that's crass."

162
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:31,115
It's not crass.

163
00:07:31,115 --> 00:07:33,851
We got $18 trillion in debt.

164
00:07:33,851 --> 00:07:36,288
>> Probably three or four
minutes into his remarks,

165
00:07:36,288 --> 00:07:38,723
I could clearly tell that these
were not the prepared remarks,

166
00:07:38,723 --> 00:07:39,892
which I had drafted.

167
00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:41,994
And then he had gone on to make
an announcement speech

168
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:44,764
which lasted somewhere
around 45 or 48 minutes.

169
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:50,803
>> When Mexico sends its people,
they're not sending their best.

170
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:52,670
They're bringing drugs.

171
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:54,273
They're bringing crime.

172
00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:55,406
They're rapists.

173
00:07:55,406 --> 00:07:58,577
And some, I assume,
are good people.

174
00:07:58,577 --> 00:08:00,745
>> When he made his comments
about Mexicans,

175
00:08:00,745 --> 00:08:02,380
everybody was convinced,
"That's it.

176
00:08:02,380 --> 00:08:04,850
He just blew himself up."

177
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:07,052
Everybody was like, uh,
"This is going to be

178
00:08:07,052 --> 00:08:08,086
the death of him."

179
00:08:08,086 --> 00:08:10,255
>> NARRATOR: Behind the scenes,
Trump's campaign

180
00:08:10,255 --> 00:08:12,692
was as unconventional
as his announcement.

181
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:17,329
>> Donald Trump's campaign was
lean and small and, in a sense,

182
00:08:17,329 --> 00:08:20,432
run out of Donald Trump's,
you know, instincts.

183
00:08:20,432 --> 00:08:24,235
I mean, he threw all of the
normal things out the window.

184
00:08:24,235 --> 00:08:27,906
>> NARRATOR: Corey Lewandowski,
an obscure political operative,

185
00:08:27,906 --> 00:08:29,408
was the campaign's manager.

186
00:08:29,408 --> 00:08:30,908
>> In my very first meeting
with Mr. Trump

187
00:08:30,908 --> 00:08:33,412
when he offered me the position
to be his campaign manager

188
00:08:33,412 --> 00:08:35,847
in January of 2015, he asked me
what I thought his odds were

189
00:08:35,847 --> 00:08:37,450
of winning the Republican
nomination.

190
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:38,484
I said five percent.

191
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,585
And he said ten.

192
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:41,452
I said, "Let's settle
at seven and a half."

193
00:08:41,452 --> 00:08:42,955
>> NARRATOR: They worked
50 floors below

194
00:08:42,955 --> 00:08:45,157
Trump's New York penthouse.

195
00:08:45,157 --> 00:08:48,927
It had once housed the set 
 where<i> The Apprentice</i> was shot.

196
00:08:48,927 --> 00:08:51,630
>> All of the<i> Apprentice</i> camera
equipment and furniture had been

197
00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:52,730
ripped out of it.

198
00:08:52,730 --> 00:08:54,865
You looked up at the ceiling
and it was open piping.

199
00:08:54,865 --> 00:08:56,402
It was barebones.

200
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:59,071
And a lot of Trump pictures
all over the walls.

201
00:08:59,071 --> 00:09:02,441
>> NARRATOR: As key advisors,
Trump chose his children.

202
00:09:02,441 --> 00:09:05,778
Running things behind the
scenes, his son-in-law,

203
00:09:05,778 --> 00:09:06,912
Jared Kushner.

204
00:09:06,912 --> 00:09:08,046
>> It's this family business.

205
00:09:08,046 --> 00:09:12,417
With Ivanka and her brothers
Eric and Don Jr.,

206
00:09:12,417 --> 00:09:13,719
and Ivanka's husband Jared,

207
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:17,556
we had this kind of council
of advisors around Trump

208
00:09:17,556 --> 00:09:19,591
that he would turn to.

209
00:09:19,591 --> 00:09:22,360
>> NARRATOR: The campaign
had a fundamental rule:

210
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,230
"Let Trump be Trump."

211
00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:27,466
>> I used to liken my role
to being a jockey

212
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:31,068
on a great racehorse--
let's say American Pharoah.

213
00:09:31,068 --> 00:09:34,606
And my job was to maybe drive
that horse into the corners

214
00:09:34,606 --> 00:09:36,609
a little bit and put some
blinders on,

215
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:37,743
but you got to let it run.

216
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,345
>> Donald Trump is back on the
road campaigning at...

217
00:09:40,345 --> 00:09:42,280
>> NARRATOR: He caused
controversy from the very start.

218
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,048
>> Trump trying to secure
the evangelical vote

219
00:09:44,048 --> 00:09:45,783
with three campaign events
in Iowa today.

220
00:09:45,783 --> 00:09:47,753
>> NARRATOR: In Iowa,
as he was interviewed

221
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,422
by Republican pollster
Frank Luntz...

222
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:52,924
>> And he and I get into an
exchange over John McCain,

223
00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:55,159
because he is taking shots
at McCain and I thought

224
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:57,062
they were gratuitous.

225
00:09:57,062 --> 00:09:58,096
>> He's not a war hero.

226
00:09:58,096 --> 00:09:59,331
>> He's a war hero.
>> He's a war hero...

227
00:09:59,331 --> 00:10:00,365
>> Five-and-a-half years of...

228
00:10:00,365 --> 00:10:02,067
>> He's a war hero because he
was captured.

229
00:10:02,067 --> 00:10:04,135
I like people that weren't
captured, okay?

230
00:10:04,135 --> 00:10:05,270
I hate to tell you.

231
00:10:05,270 --> 00:10:06,471
>> Do you agree with that?

232
00:10:06,471 --> 00:10:09,875
>> He's a war hero because he
was captured.

233
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:12,544
>> I couldn't believe
he said that.

234
00:10:12,544 --> 00:10:13,812
I was completely stunned.

235
00:10:13,812 --> 00:10:18,416
Everyone in that room thought,
"This is it, it's over."

236
00:10:18,416 --> 00:10:20,753
>> Folks, I want to make America
great again.

237
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:22,755
We want to get down
to brass tacks.

238
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:25,289
We don't want to listen to his
stuff with being

239
00:10:25,289 --> 00:10:27,058
politically correct and
everything has...

240
00:10:27,058 --> 00:10:28,827
we have a lot of work to do.

241
00:10:28,827 --> 00:10:31,296
>> You know, I asked Mr. Trump
after he came off the stage

242
00:10:31,296 --> 00:10:32,964
to have a private conversation
with him, and I said,

243
00:10:32,964 --> 00:10:34,399
"I think we need to fix this."

244
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:36,634
And when I said "Fix it,"
I meant an apology.

245
00:10:36,634 --> 00:10:38,269
And Donald Trump understood
things that I didn't understand

246
00:10:38,269 --> 00:10:39,270
about the American people,

247
00:10:39,270 --> 00:10:41,373
said, "No, no, you don't
understand."

248
00:10:41,373 --> 00:10:43,808
>> NARRATOR: Trump refused
to apologize.

249
00:10:43,808 --> 00:10:46,077
>> And once I understood that he
was willing to double down

250
00:10:46,077 --> 00:10:48,880
on his comments, and be a
fighter for what he believes in,

251
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,383
I'm all in.

252
00:10:51,383 --> 00:10:53,019
And I'm there with you,
to support you.

253
00:10:54,019 --> 00:10:56,355
>> Don Voyage, Trump is toast
after insult...

254
00:10:56,355 --> 00:10:58,557
>> Everything erupted after this
because social media exploded...

255
00:10:58,557 --> 00:10:59,991
>> Virtually every Republican
criticized Trump...

256
00:10:59,991 --> 00:11:02,928
>> This clip is played on every
newscast for the next 48 hours.

257
00:11:02,928 --> 00:11:05,197
>> So far Trump's political
campaign operates

258
00:11:05,197 --> 00:11:06,764
with a no guts, no glory
approach.

259
00:11:06,764 --> 00:11:08,667
>> And he survived it.

260
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:13,639
He survived walls and Mexicans
and everything.

261
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,807
That which doesn't kill us
makes us stronger,

262
00:11:16,807 --> 00:11:18,876
and if you ever needed any
evidence,

263
00:11:18,876 --> 00:11:20,745
just look at Donald Trump.

264
00:11:20,745 --> 00:11:23,215
>> The biggest event to date in
campaign 2016...

265
00:11:23,215 --> 00:11:24,950
>> Top ten candidates taking
the stage...

266
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:26,118
>> Donald Trump gearing up for
the crucial...

267
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:27,852
>> NARRATOR: Two and a half
weeks later in Cleveland,

268
00:11:27,852 --> 00:11:30,121
the first Republican debate.

269
00:11:30,121 --> 00:11:32,957
>> Businessman Donald Trump.

270
00:11:32,957 --> 00:11:35,427
>> NARRATOR: He was facing off
against a group of candidates

271
00:11:35,427 --> 00:11:39,264
Republican leaders touted
as the best in a generation.

272
00:11:39,264 --> 00:11:41,600
>> It is 9:00 p.m.
on the East Coast.

273
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,067
And the moment of truth has
arrived.

274
00:11:43,067 --> 00:11:44,068
>> Among the other candidates

275
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,971
there was this sort
of smug confidence

276
00:11:46,971 --> 00:11:48,505
that we know what we're doing.

277
00:11:48,505 --> 00:11:51,110
This guy is from show business,

278
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:54,980
a little bit Hollywood,
lot of razzle-dazzle.

279
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:57,048
>> NARRATOR: Early in the
debate, he faced

280
00:11:57,048 --> 00:11:59,552
a crucial test-- whether his
tabloid past

281
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:03,687
and outrageous statements would
sink his campaign.

282
00:12:03,687 --> 00:12:07,525
>> You've called women you don't
like "fat pigs," "dogs,"

283
00:12:07,525 --> 00:12:10,729
"slobs," and "disgusting
animals."

284
00:12:10,729 --> 00:12:11,897
Your Twitter account...

285
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:13,765
>> Only Rosie O'Donnell.

286
00:12:13,765 --> 00:12:15,500
(laughter)

287
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:16,634
>> No, it wasn't.

288
00:12:16,634 --> 00:12:17,870
>> Trump doesn't deny it.

289
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:21,472
He simply says, "I only said
that about Rosie O'Donnell."

290
00:12:21,472 --> 00:12:24,208
And in a way that is pure Trump.

291
00:12:24,208 --> 00:12:26,611
>> What I say is what I say.

292
00:12:26,611 --> 00:12:30,048
And honestly, Megyn, if you
don't like it, I'm sorry.

293
00:12:30,048 --> 00:12:31,316
I've been very nice to you,

294
00:12:31,316 --> 00:12:33,518
although I could probably maybe
not be based on the way

295
00:12:33,518 --> 00:12:36,654
you have treated me,
but I wouldn't do that.

296
00:12:36,654 --> 00:12:41,659
>> He's doing something that is
both repellent

297
00:12:41,659 --> 00:12:44,363
and completely authentic,
all at once.

298
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:46,999
And he's acknowledging that he
said these horrid things.

299
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:48,366
He's not shirking it.

300
00:12:48,366 --> 00:12:51,337
I think there were voters out
there that said, "You go, man.

301
00:12:52,337 --> 00:12:54,205
"You said exactly what you
think,

302
00:12:54,205 --> 00:12:56,041
and you're not backing down."

303
00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:58,976
>> NARRATOR: And Trump
wasn't done.

304
00:12:58,976 --> 00:13:01,211
After the debate,
the candidates appeared

305
00:13:01,211 --> 00:13:04,350
in what is known as spin alley.

306
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:07,119
Trump kept the controversy
going.

307
00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:10,822
>> Donald Trump shows up, as if
he needed this hit of adrenaline

308
00:13:10,822 --> 00:13:12,724
before he went home to New York.

309
00:13:12,724 --> 00:13:13,958
>> You guys okay?

310
00:13:13,958 --> 00:13:15,827
Don't hurt yourselves.

311
00:13:15,827 --> 00:13:19,831
>> It was like mosquitos to
a lantern on a summer night.

312
00:13:19,831 --> 00:13:23,534
I mean the entire national press
corps descended.

313
00:13:23,534 --> 00:13:25,836
>> People were being trampled
and camera equipment was flying

314
00:13:25,836 --> 00:13:27,972
all over the place and I'd
never seen a scene like this.

315
00:13:27,972 --> 00:13:31,208
I mean, I've seen many media
stampedes but nothing like that.

316
00:13:31,208 --> 00:13:32,878
>> What's your history
with Megyn?

317
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:35,514
>> I think, I think Megyn
behaved very badly, personally.

318
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:36,782
>> The question about women.

319
00:13:36,782 --> 00:13:37,783
You didn't like that?

320
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:40,452
>> I thought it was an unfair
question.

321
00:13:40,452 --> 00:13:41,854
>> Trump can't help himself

322
00:13:41,854 --> 00:13:45,456
because he considers anybody
questioning his bona fides

323
00:13:45,456 --> 00:13:50,562
as someone who he needs to
decapitate, essentially.

324
00:13:50,562 --> 00:13:52,764
>> NARRATOR: It was just
the beginning.

325
00:13:52,764 --> 00:13:55,933
At 3:40 in the morning,
he lit up Twitter.

326
00:13:55,933 --> 00:13:58,235
>> Wow, @megynkelly really
bombed tonight.

327
00:13:58,235 --> 00:14:00,371
People are going wild
on Twitter!

328
00:14:00,371 --> 00:14:01,274
Funny to watch.

329
00:14:03,274 --> 00:14:06,543
>> NARRATOR: On the phone
with CNN, he pushed harder.

330
00:14:06,543 --> 00:14:07,879
>> What is it with you
and Megyn Kelly?

331
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:10,315
>> She starts asking me all
sorts of ridiculous questions.

332
00:14:10,315 --> 00:14:12,049
And, you know, you could see
there was blood

333
00:14:12,049 --> 00:14:13,452
coming out of her eyes.

334
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:16,354
Uh, blood coming out of her
wherever.

335
00:14:16,354 --> 00:14:18,657
>> Donald Trump attacks her and
suggests she only asked

336
00:14:18,657 --> 00:14:22,061
a tough question because
she was menstruating.

337
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:27,099
I mean, um...

338
00:14:27,099 --> 00:14:30,836
and his numbers went up.

339
00:14:30,836 --> 00:14:33,471
>> She's a lightweight, I
couldn't care less about her.

340
00:14:33,471 --> 00:14:36,807
>> At every stage in the
campaign, Donald Trump was

341
00:14:36,807 --> 00:14:41,613
perfectly happy to have
the elites be aghast at him.

342
00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:46,618
The kind of non-politically
correct, decisive, tough,

343
00:14:46,618 --> 00:14:49,953
battling kind of personality

344
00:14:49,953 --> 00:14:51,023
that he was putting forward
in that debate

345
00:14:52,023 --> 00:14:53,957
and in the confrontations
with Megyn Kelly

346
00:14:53,957 --> 00:14:56,227
and others that he sought out.

347
00:14:56,227 --> 00:14:59,865
>> NARRATOR: While the media
controversy swirled,

348
00:14:59,865 --> 00:15:03,802
Trump was out in the country
building his base.

349
00:15:03,802 --> 00:15:05,904
His personal plane rolled up
to hangars

350
00:15:05,904 --> 00:15:08,972
filled with curious onlookers,
eager to see

351
00:15:08,972 --> 00:15:12,744
the reality TV star in person.

352
00:15:12,744 --> 00:15:13,778
>> There were a lot of people

353
00:15:13,778 --> 00:15:15,614
who were there who were pure
curiosity seekers.

354
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:16,981
They were there to see
a celebrity.

355
00:15:16,981 --> 00:15:20,351
They were there to see the guy
they know from<i> The Apprentice.</i>

356
00:15:20,351 --> 00:15:22,220
>> Trump is a producer at heart.

357
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:23,620
And when he did these rallies,

358
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:26,390
he made sure that the staging
was perfect.

359
00:15:26,390 --> 00:15:30,696
So we see the same elements
that Trump applied

360
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:32,898
in his hit TV show<i>
 The Apprentice.</i>

361
00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:36,033
We saw that in the early
rallies.

362
00:15:36,033 --> 00:15:38,769
>> ♪ We're not gonna take it. ♪

363
00:15:38,769 --> 00:15:40,739
♪ No, we ain't gonna take it. ♪

364
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:44,176
>> And right at the moment
of the first chord,

365
00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:46,778
Trump hits the stage.

366
00:15:46,778 --> 00:15:53,452
And I felt this wave go through
me and that was the moment

367
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:57,958
that I realized, "Holy (bleep),
this is real."

368
00:16:00,958 --> 00:16:03,628
It was like Pavlov's dog.

369
00:16:03,628 --> 00:16:08,533
He hits the stage, they erupt.

370
00:16:08,533 --> 00:16:11,870
I had never seen this before.

371
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:14,005
>> Trump just had them
in the palm of his hand.

372
00:16:15,005 --> 00:16:17,308
He... I mean, they were
responding to him.

373
00:16:17,308 --> 00:16:18,509
He was responding to them.

374
00:16:18,509 --> 00:16:21,745
(cheering)

375
00:16:21,745 --> 00:16:24,015
>> Those crowds at those
rallies, they were

376
00:16:25,015 --> 00:16:27,418
tremendously energizing to him.

377
00:16:27,418 --> 00:16:30,221
I mean, it was a... it was
a symbiotic relationship.

378
00:16:30,221 --> 00:16:32,524
They fed off of each other.

379
00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:36,061
The crowd fed off of him,
he fed off of the crowd.

380
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:40,097
>> For Donald, confidence is
a huge part of the game.

381
00:16:40,097 --> 00:16:42,835
This was the whole point
of all those rallies.

382
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:46,870
It wasn't just to fire up
people to vote for him.

383
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:50,009
It was to fire up Donald Trump.

384
00:16:51,009 --> 00:16:54,046
He feeds off of audiences
in a way that I think

385
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:56,914
very few politicians do and
needed to be energized

386
00:16:56,914 --> 00:16:58,783
by the affirmation.

387
00:16:58,783 --> 00:17:00,384
And it worked.

388
00:17:00,384 --> 00:17:01,452
>> And you know we're in...

389
00:17:01,452 --> 00:17:02,921
look at all those live
television feeds,

390
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:04,788
it's always tough, every time I
speak they put me

391
00:17:04,788 --> 00:17:07,791
on live television, so I have
to make different speeches.

392
00:17:07,791 --> 00:17:09,060
These guys go around,

393
00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:10,994
they make the same speech
hundreds and hundreds

394
00:17:10,994 --> 00:17:12,998
and hundreds of times,
nobody cares.

395
00:17:12,998 --> 00:17:14,531
It's true.

396
00:17:14,531 --> 00:17:17,102
>> He was looking out
at the camera bank.

397
00:17:17,102 --> 00:17:19,470
And he could see the red light
on the camera.

398
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:21,507
And that meant that he was live
on CNN.

399
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:23,407
>> You got CNN live, you've
got them all, and...

400
00:17:23,407 --> 00:17:25,611
>> Or Fox or one of the other
networks.

401
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:29,346
And he said that what he tried
to do in those rallies was say

402
00:17:29,346 --> 00:17:32,784
whatever it took to keep
the red light on.

403
00:17:32,784 --> 00:17:34,818
>> Now if you like the media,

404
00:17:34,818 --> 00:17:38,423
give them a big hand, and if you
don't, give them a big boo.

405
00:17:38,423 --> 00:17:40,557
(booing)

406
00:17:40,557 --> 00:17:42,861
>> NARRATOR: Rather than rely
primarily on polls...

407
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:45,663
>> I had a feeling...

408
00:17:45,663 --> 00:17:50,535
>> NARRATOR: Trump watched
to see how the crowd reacted.

409
00:17:50,535 --> 00:17:52,003
>> Early on, they were kind of
these rally speeches

410
00:17:53,003 --> 00:17:54,672
were a bit rambling and all over
the place.

411
00:17:54,672 --> 00:17:59,644
As he went on, he started
to really hone his message

412
00:17:59,644 --> 00:18:02,814
and he started to remember
what lines worked.

413
00:18:02,814 --> 00:18:06,084
>> We're going to have such
a strong military that nobody,

414
00:18:06,084 --> 00:18:08,118
nobody is going to mess with us.

415
00:18:08,118 --> 00:18:10,622
>> NARRATOR: And what the crowds
wanted: Donald Trump.

416
00:18:10,622 --> 00:18:13,892
>> We are led
by very stupid people.

417
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:15,093
>> NARRATOR: Unfiltered...

418
00:18:15,093 --> 00:18:17,596
>> We are going to start winning
big league.

419
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:18,997
>> NARRATOR: Angry...

420
00:18:18,997 --> 00:18:20,164
>> We can't beat ISIS.

421
00:18:20,164 --> 00:18:21,798
Give me a break.

422
00:18:21,798 --> 00:18:22,667
>> And it was every location.

423
00:18:22,667 --> 00:18:24,402
It was the same messages:

424
00:18:24,402 --> 00:18:25,871
"We're tired of Washington lying
to us."

425
00:18:25,871 --> 00:18:28,272
>> We're going to drive the
cars over the illegals.

426
00:18:28,272 --> 00:18:29,942
Build a wall!

427
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,310
>> Build a wall!

428
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:34,211
>> The American people
are angry,

429
00:18:34,211 --> 00:18:36,247
and they have a right to be.

430
00:18:36,247 --> 00:18:38,449
And what they see in Donald
Trump is someone who's willing

431
00:18:38,449 --> 00:18:39,983
to fight for them for a change.

432
00:18:39,983 --> 00:18:42,854
>> NARRATOR: He called them
"the forgotten"

433
00:18:42,854 --> 00:18:45,624
and spoke directly to their
fears and anger--

434
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:50,761
at Washington, at trade deals,
at immigration.

435
00:18:50,761 --> 00:18:54,097
>> People in this country are
afraid of illegal immigrants.

436
00:18:54,097 --> 00:18:58,036
People in this country have
become afraid

437
00:18:58,036 --> 00:18:59,237
of random violence.

438
00:18:59,237 --> 00:19:01,573
They're afraid of jobs being
shipped overseas.

439
00:19:01,573 --> 00:19:03,942
There is so much that scares
Americans.

440
00:19:03,942 --> 00:19:06,744
And Donald Trump is the only
politician who talked

441
00:19:06,744 --> 00:19:10,080
to those concerns
and those fears.

442
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,684
To his critics
it's fear mongering,

443
00:19:13,684 --> 00:19:16,320
to his supporters
it's truth telling.

444
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,756
>> Donald Trump is the
projected winner

445
00:19:18,756 --> 00:19:20,291
of the New Hampshire primary.

446
00:19:20,291 --> 00:19:21,759
>> He gains his front-runner
status in a crowded field.

447
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:23,662
>> He's pulling ahead

448
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,696
in virtually every
Super Tuesday state.

449
00:19:25,696 --> 00:19:27,798
>> NARRATOR: In one state
after another...

450
00:19:27,798 --> 00:19:29,000
>> We love Nevada.

451
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,869
We love Nevada, thank you.

452
00:19:31,869 --> 00:19:34,305
>> NARRATOR: ...Trump proved
that he could use his base

453
00:19:34,305 --> 00:19:37,909
of working class voters to win.

454
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:42,114
>> It's mostly white, they don't
like political correctness,

455
00:19:42,114 --> 00:19:46,884
they feel like they can't speak
their mind at home or at work,

456
00:19:46,884 --> 00:19:49,054
so they want something else.

457
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:52,656
Trump strolls in, he says
exactly what they want to hear.

458
00:19:52,656 --> 00:19:54,125
>> We are going to make...

459
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:56,595
>> This makes back-to-back
victories for...

460
00:19:56,595 --> 00:19:58,863
>> Donald Trump dominating
his third consecutive...

461
00:19:58,863 --> 00:20:00,397
>> Donald Trump is

462
00:20:00,397 --> 00:20:01,932
a professional political
wrecking ball...

463
00:20:01,932 --> 00:20:03,300
>> NARRATOR: Finally his
opponents had

464
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:05,103
to take him seriously.

465
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:07,404
>> At that point the
establishment suddenly wakes up

466
00:20:07,404 --> 00:20:09,606
and says, "We've got to do
something.

467
00:20:09,606 --> 00:20:10,508
"We've got to go after him.

468
00:20:10,508 --> 00:20:12,410
We can't ignore him anymore."

469
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:15,046
>> He's a race-baiting,
xenophobic, religious bigot.

470
00:20:15,046 --> 00:20:17,480
And you know how you make
America great again?

471
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,384
Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.

472
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:22,420
>> The establishment feared him
for a lot of reasons.

473
00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:23,922
One, he was not of them.

474
00:20:23,922 --> 00:20:25,990
Two, he didn't play
by their rules.

475
00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:28,192
And three, they genuinely
thought he was a threat,

476
00:20:28,192 --> 00:20:30,961
certainly to the Republican
Party, to conservatism,

477
00:20:30,961 --> 00:20:33,565
and if he got that far,
to the nation.

478
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,201
>> Guys, we have a con artist
as the frontrunner

479
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:37,402
in the Republican Party.

480
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:40,404
A guy who has made a career out
of telling people lies.

481
00:20:40,404 --> 00:20:42,106
>> He was a shock to the
Republican establishment

482
00:20:42,106 --> 00:20:44,142
and they did everything they
could, for the most part,

483
00:20:44,142 --> 00:20:46,544
to prevent him.

484
00:20:46,544 --> 00:20:48,880
>> Donald Trump is a phony,
a fraud.

485
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,515
His promises are as worthless

486
00:20:50,515 --> 00:20:52,215
as a degree from
Trump University.

487
00:20:52,215 --> 00:20:54,818
He's playing the members of the
American public for suckers.

488
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:56,420
>> Every time the establishment
attacked Trump,

489
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:58,423
it played into the narrative
that they wanted

490
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:02,559
to put out there, which was that
he was so anti-establishment,

491
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:03,662
they were going to do anything

492
00:21:03,662 --> 00:21:06,297
that they could to take
him down.

493
00:21:06,297 --> 00:21:08,598
>> This man is a pathological
liar.

494
00:21:08,598 --> 00:21:12,104
He lies practically every word
that comes out of his mouth.

495
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:15,373
>> Tonight,
live from the Peace Center

496
00:21:15,373 --> 00:21:16,441
in Greenville, South Carolina...

497
00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:19,210
>> NARRATOR: On the debate
stage, Trump hit back.

498
00:21:19,210 --> 00:21:20,845
>> You are the single
biggest liar,

499
00:21:20,845 --> 00:21:22,747
you probably are worse
than Jeb Bush.

500
00:21:22,747 --> 00:21:25,750
You are the single biggest liar.

501
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:28,252
>> One by one, each rival comes
at him.

502
00:21:28,252 --> 00:21:29,554
He throws them away.

503
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:30,622
>> This guy lies.

504
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:32,457
Two days ago he said he would
take his pants off

505
00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:34,724
and moon everybody.

506
00:21:34,724 --> 00:21:36,260
>> Tosses a barb in their
direction,

507
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:38,395
diminishes them personally.

508
00:21:38,395 --> 00:21:39,030
>> And then he tells me,
"Oh, my language

509
00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:41,532
was a little bit rough."

510
00:21:41,532 --> 00:21:44,035
>> Destroys their record.

511
00:21:44,035 --> 00:21:46,203
>> This little guy has lied
so much about my record.

512
00:21:46,203 --> 00:21:48,573
>> Donald Trump had the ability
to just grab the microphone,

513
00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:51,175
just trample over people.

514
00:21:51,175 --> 00:21:53,044
That was entertaining.

515
00:21:53,044 --> 00:21:55,713
It was different.

516
00:21:55,713 --> 00:21:56,681
>> He hit my hands.

517
00:21:56,681 --> 00:21:57,682
Nobody has ever hit my hands.

518
00:21:57,682 --> 00:21:58,817
I've never heard of this...

519
00:21:58,817 --> 00:21:59,884
Look at those hands.

520
00:21:59,884 --> 00:22:01,952
Are they small hands?

521
00:22:01,952 --> 00:22:05,189
And he referred to my hands,
if they're small,

522
00:22:05,189 --> 00:22:08,058
something else must be small.

523
00:22:08,058 --> 00:22:09,994
I guarantee you
there's no problem.

524
00:22:09,994 --> 00:22:11,563
I guarantee it.

525
00:22:11,563 --> 00:22:15,499
>> It was ruthless political
performance by Donald Trump.

526
00:22:15,499 --> 00:22:19,269
He had nothing to lose
and he owed nothing

527
00:22:19,269 --> 00:22:20,904
to the Republican Party.

528
00:22:20,904 --> 00:22:23,508
So instead of standing there as
a member of a party

529
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:26,877
trying to get the nomination,
he was there for Trump.

530
00:22:26,877 --> 00:22:28,779
That changed everything.

531
00:22:28,779 --> 00:22:30,682
>> Scott Walker is quitting
the presidential race...

532
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:32,250
>> NARRATOR: One by one...

533
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:34,352
>> Carly Fiorina and Chris
Christie have suspended

534
00:22:34,352 --> 00:22:35,553
their campaigns.

535
00:22:35,553 --> 00:22:37,788
>> NARRATOR: Trump's
competitors began to fall off.

536
00:22:37,788 --> 00:22:40,057
>> Neurosurgeon Ben Carson
dropping out of the 2016...

537
00:22:40,057 --> 00:22:42,159
>> NARRATOR: But on the campaign
trail, at some rallies,

538
00:22:42,159 --> 00:22:44,335
things were increasingly ugly.

539
00:22:50,335 --> 00:22:53,679
>> The anger only increased
as it got farther along.

540
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:04,249
>> It became completely
acceptable.

541
00:23:04,249 --> 00:23:06,451
It became okay to come to a
Trump rally and wear a shirt

542
00:23:06,451 --> 00:23:10,554
that says Hillary Clinton
is a C-(bleep)-(bleep)-T.

543
00:23:10,554 --> 00:23:11,788
>> Lock her up! Lock her up...

544
00:23:11,788 --> 00:23:13,357
>> NARRATOR: And there were
some in the crowds

545
00:23:13,357 --> 00:23:15,559
with a darker agenda.

546
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:19,063
>> The campaign is continually
dogged by a small

547
00:23:19,063 --> 00:23:22,299
and vocal number of white
supremacists,

548
00:23:22,299 --> 00:23:26,638
Klansmen, neo-Nazis.

549
00:23:27,638 --> 00:23:30,407
>> Some would come in wearing
Confederate flags

550
00:23:30,407 --> 00:23:31,643
on their t-shirts.

551
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:33,877
>> This isn't a very large
group of people,

552
00:23:33,877 --> 00:23:35,479
but they are very vocal.

553
00:23:35,479 --> 00:23:38,215
And they attach themselves
to Trump.

554
00:23:38,215 --> 00:23:40,984
>> Trump, whenever there was
a moment to draw a line

555
00:23:40,984 --> 00:23:43,386
between himself and these
extreme parts

556
00:23:43,386 --> 00:23:45,789
of the voting bloc, he refused.

557
00:23:45,789 --> 00:23:48,660
I think without question, the
only way you can interpret that

558
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:52,263
is that he was going to use
these groups to try to build

559
00:23:52,263 --> 00:23:54,198
this coalition.

560
00:23:54,198 --> 00:23:57,301
>> NARRATOR: It wasn't long
before anti-Trump protestors

561
00:23:57,301 --> 00:23:59,604
began to show up inside
the rallies.

562
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:00,838
>> There's a guy,

563
00:24:00,838 --> 00:24:02,941
totally disruptive,
throwing punches.

564
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:03,009
I love the old days.

565
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:05,776
Do you know what they used
to do to guys like that

566
00:24:05,776 --> 00:24:07,378
when they were in a place
like this?

567
00:24:07,378 --> 00:24:09,681
They'd be carried out
on a stretcher, folks.

568
00:24:09,681 --> 00:24:11,151
I'd like to punch him
in the face, I'll tell you.

569
00:24:13,151 --> 00:24:15,987
>> You start seeing these
really ugly moments

570
00:24:15,987 --> 00:24:19,824
at the rallies, um,
with protesters,

571
00:24:19,824 --> 00:24:21,925
some of whom are nonwhite
protestors, getting treated

572
00:24:21,925 --> 00:24:25,798
very violently by his
supporters.

573
00:24:27,798 --> 00:24:31,336
Trump himself seemed to incite
his supporters

574
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:32,869
to go after protestors.

575
00:24:32,869 --> 00:24:34,006
>> Knock the crap out of him,
would you?

576
00:24:35,006 --> 00:24:36,240
Just knock the hell...

577
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,175
I promise you I will pay for
the legal fees, I promise.

578
00:24:38,175 --> 00:24:39,277
I promise.

579
00:24:39,277 --> 00:24:41,779
>> NARRATOR: Trump didn't just
turn on protestors,

580
00:24:41,779 --> 00:24:43,948
he also directed the anger
at the media.

581
00:24:43,948 --> 00:24:46,884
>> Absolute dishonest,
absolute scum.

582
00:24:46,884 --> 00:24:47,884
Remember that.

583
00:24:47,884 --> 00:24:49,988
Scum. Scum.

584
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:52,523
>> NARRATOR: NBC's Katy Tur
became a frequent target

585
00:24:52,523 --> 00:24:53,458
after one of her reports.

586
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,326
>> She's back there.

587
00:24:55,326 --> 00:24:56,594
Little Katy.

588
00:24:56,594 --> 00:24:57,827
She's back there.

589
00:24:57,827 --> 00:25:00,198
>> He calls me out at the rally,

590
00:25:00,198 --> 00:25:02,400
"Look back there, little Katy,
she's back there."

591
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,601
And I was like, "What?"

592
00:25:03,601 --> 00:25:05,369
>> What a lie it was.

593
00:25:05,369 --> 00:25:07,372
(crowd booing)

594
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:10,709
No, what a lie, Katie Tur.

595
00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:13,711
What a lie it was from NBC
to have written that.

596
00:25:13,711 --> 00:25:15,279
It was a total lie.

597
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:18,215
>> We are surrounded on all
sides with people

598
00:25:18,215 --> 00:25:21,051
who are fired up and angry.

599
00:25:21,051 --> 00:25:23,386
>> Third-rate reporter,
remember that, third rate.

600
00:25:23,386 --> 00:25:25,589
Third rate.

601
00:25:25,589 --> 00:25:27,791
>> And they're whipped up
by Donald Trump.

602
00:25:27,791 --> 00:25:30,662
I described it as like, you
know, an unchained beast

603
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:31,962
roaring at you in a crowd.

604
00:25:31,962 --> 00:25:34,598
And the whole... the whole place
turns at me, looks at me,

605
00:25:34,598 --> 00:25:36,538
and boos.

606
00:25:41,538 --> 00:25:45,409
(cheers)

607
00:25:45,409 --> 00:25:47,479
>> NARRATOR: By July,
Donald Trump headed

608
00:25:47,479 --> 00:25:50,980
to the G.O.P. convention
after soundly defeating

609
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:53,084
the establishment candidates.

610
00:25:53,084 --> 00:25:55,921
>> Let's face it, he was larger
than the Republican Party.

611
00:25:55,921 --> 00:25:58,923
In fact, his nomination was
the hostile takeover

612
00:25:58,923 --> 00:26:00,958
of the Republican Party.

613
00:26:00,958 --> 00:26:03,827
In this case the Republican
Party is just a vehicle to get

614
00:26:03,827 --> 00:26:05,195
his name on the ballot.

615
00:26:05,195 --> 00:26:08,633
But his reach was always
greater

616
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:10,301
than the Republican Party's
reach.

617
00:26:11,301 --> 00:26:13,237
>> NARRATOR: He had won
the nomination

618
00:26:13,237 --> 00:26:15,405
of a divided Republican Party.

619
00:26:15,405 --> 00:26:19,344
Now he would see if he could
apply the same strategy

620
00:26:19,344 --> 00:26:22,313
to winning the presidency
of a divided country.

621
00:26:22,313 --> 00:26:26,916
>> Our convention occurs at a
moment of crisis for our nation.

622
00:26:26,916 --> 00:26:32,556
The attacks on our police and
the terrorism of our cities

623
00:26:32,556 --> 00:26:36,460
threaten our very way of life.

624
00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:40,730
>> But I think the essential
message there was, you have been

625
00:26:40,730 --> 00:26:43,433
neglected and abused
by the powers that be,

626
00:26:43,433 --> 00:26:45,036
whether they are politicians

627
00:26:45,036 --> 00:26:47,838
or the media or academia,
or Hollywood.

628
00:26:47,838 --> 00:26:50,708
All of those folks are
conspiring against you,

629
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:53,111
the good, right-thinking
middle Americans.

630
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:56,213
>> I have joined
the political arena

631
00:26:56,213 --> 00:26:59,883
so that the powerful can
no longer beat up on people

632
00:26:59,883 --> 00:27:02,787
who cannot defend themselves.

633
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:06,895
(cheers and applause)

634
00:27:11,895 --> 00:27:14,933
Nobody knows the system
better than me.

635
00:27:16,933 --> 00:27:18,708
(laughter and applause)

636
00:27:24,708 --> 00:27:28,980
Which is why I alone can fix it.

637
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:31,147
>> He just said, "Me.

638
00:27:31,147 --> 00:27:33,984
"I'm the only person that can
do this.

639
00:27:33,984 --> 00:27:35,653
You have to support me."

640
00:27:35,653 --> 00:27:37,855
That's the language
of a strongman.

641
00:27:37,855 --> 00:27:41,425
That's the language that you
hear in autocratic societies.

642
00:27:41,425 --> 00:27:43,896
(cheering)

643
00:27:45,896 --> 00:27:48,432
>> I had at least five reporters
approach me and say,

644
00:27:48,432 --> 00:27:52,068
"Didn't you think Trump's speech
was too dark?"

645
00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:55,073
And I told them all,
"No, I think the country

646
00:27:55,073 --> 00:27:56,074
"is in deep trouble.

647
00:27:56,074 --> 00:27:58,241
"We're in very dire times.

648
00:27:58,241 --> 00:28:01,246
"And to pussyfoot around that
and claim things are great

649
00:28:01,246 --> 00:28:02,212
"is a mistake.

650
00:28:02,212 --> 00:28:04,219
And we need a strongman."

651
00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:09,452
>> Hillary!

652
00:28:09,452 --> 00:28:11,989
Hillary! Hillary!

653
00:28:11,989 --> 00:28:13,290
>> And so, my friends...

654
00:28:13,290 --> 00:28:15,526
>> NARRATOR: Just one week
later,

655
00:28:15,526 --> 00:28:17,929
at the Democratic Convention,
Hillary Clinton accepted

656
00:28:17,929 --> 00:28:19,797
her party's nomination.

657
00:28:19,797 --> 00:28:22,365
>> That I accept your nomination

658
00:28:22,365 --> 00:28:26,670
for president
of the United States!

659
00:28:26,670 --> 00:28:27,939
>> NARRATOR: Clinton's strategy

660
00:28:27,939 --> 00:28:32,009
was to draw on Obama's legacy
and bet big on diversity.

661
00:28:33,009 --> 00:28:34,944
>> This is a time of change
for America and it's a time

662
00:28:34,944 --> 00:28:36,513
to take stock and reaffirm
the values

663
00:28:36,513 --> 00:28:37,580
that we hold as Americans.

664
00:28:37,580 --> 00:28:42,019
And that meant embracing
the diversity.

665
00:28:43,019 --> 00:28:44,888
>> Please welcome Khizr Khan.

666
00:28:44,888 --> 00:28:46,723
>> NARRATOR: One moment turned
out to be the centerpiece

667
00:28:46,723 --> 00:28:47,825
of their efforts--

668
00:28:47,825 --> 00:28:51,327
a speech by the father
of a Muslim American soldier

669
00:28:51,327 --> 00:28:54,432
killed in combat.

670
00:28:54,432 --> 00:28:58,635
>> If it was up to Donald
Trump, he never would have been

671
00:28:58,635 --> 00:29:00,503
in America.

672
00:29:00,503 --> 00:29:05,175
Donald Trump consistently
smears the character

673
00:29:05,175 --> 00:29:07,344
of Muslims.

674
00:29:07,344 --> 00:29:10,980
He disrespects other minorities,

675
00:29:10,980 --> 00:29:19,522
women, judges, even his own
party leadership.

676
00:29:19,522 --> 00:29:22,093
>> I don't think anybody or very
few people who were planning

677
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:24,228
the convention thought simply
that moment alone

678
00:29:24,228 --> 00:29:26,530
would be as powerful as it was.

679
00:29:26,530 --> 00:29:29,532
>> Donald Trump:
Have you even read

680
00:29:29,532 --> 00:29:31,969
the United States Constitution?

681
00:29:31,969 --> 00:29:36,272
(cheers and applause)

682
00:29:36,272 --> 00:29:44,516
I will... I will gladly lend you
my copy.

683
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:47,852
>> NARRATOR: As he watched
Khan's speech, Trump saw

684
00:29:47,852 --> 00:29:50,520
an opportunity to go
on the attack.

685
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,655
>> I was viciously attacked
by Mr. Khan

686
00:29:52,655 --> 00:29:54,291
at the Democratic Convention.

687
00:29:54,291 --> 00:29:57,127
>> And his advisors thought
this was not a good idea.

688
00:29:57,127 --> 00:29:58,429
He shouldn't have done it.

689
00:29:58,429 --> 00:30:00,564
But Donald Trump
just can't help himself.

690
00:30:00,564 --> 00:30:03,299
>> Mr. Khan, who does not know
me, viciously attacked me

691
00:30:03,299 --> 00:30:05,336
from the stage of the D.N.C.

692
00:30:05,336 --> 00:30:08,071
and is now all over TV doing
the same.

693
00:30:08,071 --> 00:30:09,472
Nice!

694
00:30:09,472 --> 00:30:13,443
>> The Khan episode illustrates
Donald's major flaw,

695
00:30:13,443 --> 00:30:20,218
is he can't let something go
and he can't notice

696
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:23,821
that he's losing a fight
until he's really lost it.

697
00:30:24,821 --> 00:30:26,123
>> Now on "This Week"...

698
00:30:26,123 --> 00:30:27,458
>> He went after Khan's wife,
Gazal.

699
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:29,226
>> If you look at his wife,
she was standing there.

700
00:30:29,226 --> 00:30:30,595
She had nothing to say.

701
00:30:30,595 --> 00:30:32,930
She probably... maybe she wasn't
allowed to have anything to say.

702
00:30:32,930 --> 00:30:34,032
You tell me, but plenty of
people have written that.

703
00:30:35,032 --> 00:30:37,969
>> Amid mounting backlash
over Trump's comments,

704
00:30:37,969 --> 00:30:39,670
his campaign went into damage
control mode.

705
00:30:39,670 --> 00:30:41,471
>> NARRATOR: Veterans groups
were outraged.

706
00:30:41,471 --> 00:30:42,839
>> At least two new polls show
Hillary Clinton

707
00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:44,174
with a widening lead over Trump.

708
00:30:44,174 --> 00:30:45,576
>> NARRATOR: As Trump's poll
numbers collapsed...

709
00:30:45,576 --> 00:30:47,011
>> Republicans in particular
have been quick to respond...

710
00:30:48,011 --> 00:30:50,647
>> NARRATOR: Republican leaders
further distanced themselves.

711
00:30:50,647 --> 00:30:51,915
>> Republican Senator John
McCain offered

712
00:30:51,915 --> 00:30:52,916
a scathing rebuke...

713
00:30:52,916 --> 00:30:54,452
>> And his advisors are
horrified.

714
00:30:54,452 --> 00:30:57,387
I mean, this is like... this is
political suicide.

715
00:30:57,387 --> 00:30:59,691
And, um, they say to Trump,
you know,

716
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:01,291
"You know you just attacked
a Gold Star family."

717
00:31:01,291 --> 00:31:02,559
And he said,
"Well, what's that?"

718
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,163
Trump just sees it as a personal
attack and it's within his right

719
00:31:06,163 --> 00:31:07,798
to go on the counterattack.

720
00:31:07,798 --> 00:31:08,932
>> Trump's ongoing battle

721
00:31:08,932 --> 00:31:11,268
with the family of U.S. Army
Captain Humayun Khan...

722
00:31:11,268 --> 00:31:13,270
>> NARRATOR: Virtually all the
professionals expected Trump

723
00:31:13,270 --> 00:31:16,707
to change his tactics,
to pivot.

724
00:31:16,707 --> 00:31:18,842
>> Everybody always wanted
to mold Mr. Trump

725
00:31:18,842 --> 00:31:21,746
into their own image of what a
candidate should look like,

726
00:31:21,746 --> 00:31:23,681
what a president should
look like.

727
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:25,482
And if there's one thing that
wasn't going to change

728
00:31:25,482 --> 00:31:27,817
about Mr. Trump was that he was
going to stay true to himself,

729
00:31:27,817 --> 00:31:29,953
you know,
whatever that means, and that...

730
00:31:29,953 --> 00:31:33,557
that if he was going to win this
campaign, he was going to do it

731
00:31:33,557 --> 00:31:34,659
on his own terms.

732
00:31:34,659 --> 00:31:37,161
>> NARRATOR: With barely 80 days
before the election,

733
00:31:37,161 --> 00:31:41,332
Trump shook up his campaign and
brought in Steve Bannon,

734
00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:45,336
the chairman of the right-wing
website Breitbart.

735
00:31:45,336 --> 00:31:47,605
>> Bannon is a bomb thrower.

736
00:31:47,605 --> 00:31:51,208
Bannon joins the campaign
because Bannon has

737
00:31:51,208 --> 00:31:54,377
a superior knowledge of
alternative media

738
00:31:54,377 --> 00:31:56,814
combined with the fact that he
is kind of a swashbuckler

739
00:31:56,814 --> 00:32:01,586
and a revolutionary, a guy who
can think outside the box.

740
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:04,288
>> NARRATOR: It was a sign Trump
was doubling down.

741
00:32:04,288 --> 00:32:06,557
>> Steve Bannon has made
very clear

742
00:32:06,557 --> 00:32:09,125
all through his recent career,
his goal is to blow up

743
00:32:09,125 --> 00:32:10,260
the establishment.

744
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:12,496
It's to take down the government
as we know it.

745
00:32:12,496 --> 00:32:15,598
It's to destroy the Republican
Party as it was constituted.

746
00:32:15,598 --> 00:32:18,903
I mean, he is a disrupter in,
you know,

747
00:32:18,903 --> 00:32:20,570
in almost every way.

748
00:32:20,570 --> 00:32:22,739
>> NARRATOR: As his new
campaign manager,

749
00:32:22,739 --> 00:32:27,744
another unconventional pick:
a pollster, Kellyanne Conway,

750
00:32:27,744 --> 00:32:29,881
who had bad news for Trump.

751
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:34,919
>> On that day, I told him,
I said, "What's going on?

752
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,788
"Because you're running against
the most joyless candidate

753
00:32:37,788 --> 00:32:39,423
"in presidential political
history

754
00:32:39,423 --> 00:32:41,625
and this place is starting
to seem like it."

755
00:32:41,625 --> 00:32:42,759
And he said, "No."

756
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:44,862
And I said,
"I've looked at the polls."

757
00:32:44,862 --> 00:32:45,029
He said, "the polls."

758
00:32:46,029 --> 00:32:47,365
And I said, "I've looked at the
polls and we're losing.

759
00:32:47,365 --> 00:32:49,599
But we don't need to lose,
you should be winning."

760
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:51,836
>> Trump is hoping to finally
put that controversy behind him.

761
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:54,171
>> NARRATOR: They faced a
formidable challenge.

762
00:32:54,171 --> 00:32:56,339
>> NARRATOR: The first
presidential debate.

763
00:32:56,339 --> 00:32:59,676
>> As Trump and Clinton get
ready to go head to head...

764
00:32:59,676 --> 00:33:02,779
>> What will likely be the most
watched political showdown

765
00:33:02,779 --> 00:33:03,881
in American history...

766
00:33:03,881 --> 00:33:05,516
>> NARRATOR: As he had
throughout his campaign,

767
00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:09,519
Trump was willing to gamble--
he'd rely on his instincts,

768
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:11,387
not preparation.

769
00:33:11,387 --> 00:33:13,557
>> There's actually a point
of pride

770
00:33:13,557 --> 00:33:15,291
that he doesn't have to prepare.

771
00:33:15,291 --> 00:33:19,328
He values raw ability
over study.

772
00:33:19,328 --> 00:33:22,532
So he wanted to prove that he
was right about that.

773
00:33:22,532 --> 00:33:24,567
>> NARRATOR: Trump
mocked Clinton for spending

774
00:33:24,567 --> 00:33:26,869
so much of her time preparing
for the debate.

775
00:33:26,869 --> 00:33:30,974
>> You know, you've seen me,
I've been all over the place.

776
00:33:30,974 --> 00:33:33,477
You decided to stay home,
and that's okay.

777
00:33:33,477 --> 00:33:35,012
>> Arguably he was the worst
prepared candidate

778
00:33:36,012 --> 00:33:38,615
in the history of American
politics

779
00:33:38,615 --> 00:33:40,651
when he stepped up against
Hillary Clinton

780
00:33:40,651 --> 00:33:42,286
for that first debate,
and it showed.

781
00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:45,922
>> I think Donald just
criticized me

782
00:33:45,922 --> 00:33:47,592
for preparing for this debate.

783
00:33:47,592 --> 00:33:49,926
And, yes, I did.

784
00:33:49,926 --> 00:33:52,229
And you know what else
I prepared for?

785
00:33:52,229 --> 00:33:53,462
I prepared to be president.

786
00:33:53,462 --> 00:33:55,298
And I think that's a good thing.

787
00:33:55,298 --> 00:33:56,901
>> She knew how to get
under his skin.

788
00:33:56,901 --> 00:33:58,102
She had been practicing.

789
00:33:58,102 --> 00:33:59,971
She had been studying him.

790
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:02,640
>> Donald thinks that climate
change is a hoax

791
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,906
perpetrated by the Chinese.

792
00:34:03,906 --> 00:34:05,075
I think it's real.

793
00:34:05,075 --> 00:34:06,175
I think science is real.

794
00:34:06,175 --> 00:34:08,978
>> I do not... I did not...
I do not say that.

795
00:34:08,978 --> 00:34:11,514
>> Her team knew
what were his...

796
00:34:11,514 --> 00:34:12,782
knew what his buttons were.

797
00:34:12,782 --> 00:34:15,385
And she just started unleashing
them one after the other.

798
00:34:15,385 --> 00:34:17,121
>> You call yourself
the King of Debt.

799
00:34:17,121 --> 00:34:18,989
You talk about leverage.

800
00:34:18,989 --> 00:34:22,559
You even at one time suggested
that you would try

801
00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:23,927
to negotiate down the...

802
00:34:23,927 --> 00:34:24,894
>> Wrong.

803
00:34:24,894 --> 00:34:26,030
>> ...national debt
of the United States.

804
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:28,099
>> Wrong.

805
00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:30,300
>> And he lost... he lost
control of the debate.

806
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:31,768
>> Let me say this...

807
00:34:31,768 --> 00:34:34,804
>> There's nothing crazy about
not letting our companies

808
00:34:34,804 --> 00:34:36,974
bring their money back into
their country.

809
00:34:36,974 --> 00:34:38,576
>> This is... this is Secretary
Clinton's two minutes, please.

810
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:39,842
>> I have a feeling that
by the end of this evening

811
00:34:39,842 --> 00:34:42,880
I'm going to be blamed for
everything that's ever happened.

812
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:43,914
>> Why not?

813
00:34:43,914 --> 00:34:45,615
>> Why not, yeah.

814
00:34:45,615 --> 00:34:47,217
Why not?

815
00:34:47,217 --> 00:34:49,987
>> Hillary Clinton was
very artful in getting

816
00:34:49,987 --> 00:34:51,688
under Mr. Trump's skin

817
00:34:51,688 --> 00:34:54,358
and bringing up the issues

818
00:34:54,358 --> 00:34:58,228
that were like putting,
you know, gasoline on a fire.

819
00:34:58,228 --> 00:35:03,266
>> One of the worst things he
said was about a woman

820
00:35:03,266 --> 00:35:04,835
in a beauty contest.

821
00:35:04,835 --> 00:35:09,472
And, he called this woman
"Miss Piggy."

822
00:35:09,472 --> 00:35:12,076
Then he called her
"Miss Housekeeping,"

823
00:35:12,076 --> 00:35:13,978
because she was Latina.

824
00:35:13,978 --> 00:35:15,311
Donald, she has a name.

825
00:35:15,311 --> 00:35:16,413
>> Where did you find this?

826
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:17,481
Where did you find this?

827
00:35:17,481 --> 00:35:18,748
Where did you find it?

828
00:35:18,748 --> 00:35:20,184
>> Her name is Alicia Machado
and she has become

829
00:35:20,184 --> 00:35:22,487
a U.S. citizen and you can bet
she's going to vote

830
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:23,353
this November.

831
00:35:23,353 --> 00:35:24,420
>> Oh really?

832
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:25,422
Okay, okay, good.

833
00:35:25,422 --> 00:35:28,626
>> NARRATOR: Trump would insist
he had won.

834
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:29,793
>> ...our debate
for this evening.

835
00:35:29,793 --> 00:35:31,561
>> He was crushed
in the first debate.

836
00:35:31,561 --> 00:35:34,431
I don't care whatever
pronouncements he wants to make.

837
00:35:34,431 --> 00:35:37,867
He was crushed
by every possible...

838
00:35:37,867 --> 00:35:40,373
Our focus group thought
he was awful.

839
00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:43,706
>> ...down in Palm Beach.

840
00:35:43,706 --> 00:35:44,708
I moved on her and I failed.

841
00:35:44,708 --> 00:35:46,980
I'll admit it.

842
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,485
>> NARRATOR: It would get
even worse for Trump.

843
00:35:55,485 --> 00:35:57,554
>> NARRATOR: Just two days
before the second debate,

844
00:35:57,554 --> 00:36:01,230
an un-aired video from the TV
show<i> Access Hollywood.</i>

845
00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:08,431
>> There was one account after
another about Donald Trump

846
00:36:08,431 --> 00:36:12,869
attacking women, groping women,
saying nasty things about women.

847
00:36:12,869 --> 00:36:16,547
But the moment that counts is
the moment this is on video.

848
00:36:24,547 --> 00:36:26,817
>> Here's a guy who's making
crude, disgusting jokes

849
00:36:26,817 --> 00:36:28,751
and the father in you,

850
00:36:28,751 --> 00:36:32,722
the brother in you comes out,
and the husband in you.

851
00:36:32,722 --> 00:36:34,057
And you can't defend it.

852
00:36:34,057 --> 00:36:37,594
>> The Trump camp has swiftly
launched into disaster mode...

853
00:36:37,594 --> 00:36:40,597
>> A big, big development in
this campaign as it comes to...

854
00:36:40,597 --> 00:36:41,731
>> Right after that tape
came out,

855
00:36:41,731 --> 00:36:45,268
suddenly everybody on the Trump
team went radio silent.

856
00:36:45,268 --> 00:36:46,536
Everyone.

857
00:36:46,536 --> 00:36:48,572
>> This was the October
surprise.

858
00:36:48,572 --> 00:36:50,407
Had the ability to take down
a campaign.

859
00:36:50,407 --> 00:36:53,342
And the internal discussion
amongst the campaign, some were,

860
00:36:53,342 --> 00:36:56,146
"You need to apologize
immediately,"

861
00:36:56,146 --> 00:36:58,849
and some were
"You need to double down."

862
00:36:58,849 --> 00:37:03,052
>> Donald Trump's campaign,
its worst crisis ever.

863
00:37:03,052 --> 00:37:05,521
>> We keep being told,
"He is going to come on TV.

864
00:37:05,521 --> 00:37:06,456
"He is going to say something.

865
00:37:06,456 --> 00:37:07,690
He is going to apologize."

866
00:37:07,690 --> 00:37:09,427
And it gets delayed and delayed.

867
00:37:09,427 --> 00:37:12,728
And finally he comes out there
and it's an apology of sorts.

868
00:37:12,728 --> 00:37:14,764
>> I've never said I'm a perfect
person, nor pretended

869
00:37:14,764 --> 00:37:16,000
to be someone that I'm not.

870
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,135
I've said and done things
I regret,

871
00:37:19,135 --> 00:37:20,536
and the words released today

872
00:37:20,536 --> 00:37:23,608
on this
more than a decade-old video

873
00:37:23,608 --> 00:37:24,608
are one of them.

874
00:37:24,608 --> 00:37:27,043
>> And so he went on Facebook
later that night

875
00:37:27,043 --> 00:37:31,313
and gave what was, by Trump's
standards, a contrite apology.

876
00:37:31,313 --> 00:37:33,115
But then he went on the attack.

877
00:37:33,115 --> 00:37:35,652
>> Bill Clinton has actually
abused women,

878
00:37:35,652 --> 00:37:38,521
and Hillary has bullied,
attacked, shamed

879
00:37:38,521 --> 00:37:40,724
and intimidated his victims.

880
00:37:40,724 --> 00:37:41,025
>> I think Trump being Trump,

881
00:37:42,025 --> 00:37:43,860
his only instinct in those
moments when his back

882
00:37:43,860 --> 00:37:47,264
is against the wall is to just
go on the counter-attack.

883
00:37:47,264 --> 00:37:49,766
>> We will discuss this more
in the coming days.

884
00:37:49,766 --> 00:37:52,235
See you at the debate
on Saturday.

885
00:37:52,235 --> 00:37:54,137
>> I think with the exception
of maybe one or two people,

886
00:37:54,137 --> 00:37:55,706
everyone thought
that that was the end.

887
00:37:55,706 --> 00:37:56,940
How do you survive this?

888
00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:58,375
How do you survive
this?

889
00:37:58,375 --> 00:38:01,445
As a Republican, how do you
survive advocating or saying

890
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:05,114
you're allowed to grab women
in their private parts

891
00:38:05,114 --> 00:38:06,750
because you're a star?

892
00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:09,985
That is just not something
that anybody can survive.

893
00:38:09,985 --> 00:38:11,554
>> I think the question now is,

894
00:38:11,554 --> 00:38:14,791
how do Republicans down the
ballot break away from him?

895
00:38:14,791 --> 00:38:17,327
>> NARRATOR: The next day
he appeared outside Trump Tower.

896
00:38:17,327 --> 00:38:22,733
To many it seemed like
his candidacy was over.

897
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:25,135
>> I called Trump the day
after<i> Access Hollywood.</i>

898
00:38:25,135 --> 00:38:29,940
And I ask him point blank, "Are
you going to quit the race?"

899
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:32,376
That's what was
on everyone's minds.

900
00:38:32,376 --> 00:38:35,945
And he says,
"Costa, I've lived life.

901
00:38:35,945 --> 00:38:37,581
"I've seen so much in my life,

902
00:38:37,581 --> 00:38:41,117
"business, personal,
this is nothing.

903
00:38:41,117 --> 00:38:43,186
"I've survived everything else.

904
00:38:43,186 --> 00:38:44,721
I'm going to survive this."

905
00:38:44,721 --> 00:38:46,889
And I kept asking him, "Are you
going to quit the race?"

906
00:38:46,889 --> 00:38:49,260
"There's no chance I quit,"
he said.

907
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:50,628
"Not one chance.

908
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:52,563
I am in this to the end."

909
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:55,436
(cheering)

910
00:38:58,436 --> 00:39:01,938
>> NARRATOR: Donald Trump,
undaunted, then headed

911
00:39:01,938 --> 00:39:04,541
to the second
presidential debate.

912
00:39:04,541 --> 00:39:06,742
>> He showed up, and he was
impervious to the naysayers

913
00:39:06,742 --> 00:39:08,213
and critics who were all trying
to push him out of the race.

914
00:39:10,213 --> 00:39:12,615
>> NARRATOR: Trump had
a surprise of his own

915
00:39:12,615 --> 00:39:14,784
just before the debate was
to begin.

916
00:39:14,784 --> 00:39:17,454
>> Next thing I know-- and no
one in the press knew

917
00:39:17,454 --> 00:39:19,922
this was happening-- there was
a press conference

918
00:39:19,922 --> 00:39:22,126
with all Bill Clinton's accusers
right before the debate.

919
00:39:22,126 --> 00:39:27,731
>> These four very courageous
women have asked to be here...

920
00:39:27,731 --> 00:39:31,635
>> NARRATOR: Trump had invited
four women to the debate,

921
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:35,771
women who had accused Bill and
Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing.

922
00:39:35,771 --> 00:39:38,041
Charges the Clinton's
had denied.

923
00:39:38,041 --> 00:39:39,876
>> There was widespread shock.

924
00:39:39,876 --> 00:39:41,244
Nobody had it beforehand.

925
00:39:41,244 --> 00:39:43,547
>> The genius part of Donald
Trump was he didn't announce

926
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:46,449
these women were coming.

927
00:39:46,449 --> 00:39:49,385
He just had them
at a table and said,

928
00:39:49,385 --> 00:39:51,755
"The media's welcome to come in
right before the debate."

929
00:39:51,755 --> 00:39:53,257
And the media was stunned.

930
00:39:53,257 --> 00:39:55,092
Because the media couldn't
fathom

931
00:39:55,092 --> 00:39:56,659
doing something like this.

932
00:39:56,659 --> 00:39:59,163
>> NARRATOR: Standing
in the back of the room,

933
00:39:59,163 --> 00:40:02,599
the man who had orchestrated
the event: Steve Bannon.

934
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:05,902
>> Mr. Trump may have said some
bad words,

935
00:40:05,902 --> 00:40:13,043
but Bill Clinton raped me and
Hillary Clinton threatened me.

936
00:40:13,043 --> 00:40:15,612
I don't think there's
any comparison.

937
00:40:15,612 --> 00:40:20,483
>> It was to show America that
he believed certain things

938
00:40:20,483 --> 00:40:24,054
about the Clintons that many
Americans also believe.

939
00:40:24,054 --> 00:40:26,123
And that he was going
to stand up for them

940
00:40:26,123 --> 00:40:28,525
against the Clintons

941
00:40:28,525 --> 00:40:34,465
in a way that was so tough
and really so ruthless

942
00:40:34,465 --> 00:40:38,235
that it gave some satisfaction
to people who hate the Clintons.

943
00:40:38,235 --> 00:40:40,237
>> Okay.
Thank you all very much.

944
00:40:40,237 --> 00:40:41,851
We appreciate it.

945
00:40:54,851 --> 00:40:57,586
>> By bringing the accusers to
the debate, he put that issue

946
00:40:57,586 --> 00:41:00,523
front and center and forced
voters out there to remember,

947
00:41:00,523 --> 00:41:03,592
in a sense, what it is that
they didn't like

948
00:41:03,592 --> 00:41:05,661
about Hillary Clinton.

949
00:41:05,661 --> 00:41:07,463
(applause)

950
00:41:07,463 --> 00:41:10,065
>> NARRATOR: This time on the
debate stage, Trump stayed

951
00:41:10,065 --> 00:41:11,601
on the offensive.

952
00:41:11,601 --> 00:41:14,103
>> We have a divided nation,
because people like her.

953
00:41:14,103 --> 00:41:17,474
And believe me, she has
tremendous hate in her heart.

954
00:41:17,474 --> 00:41:21,411
She's got tremendous hatred
and this country cannot take

955
00:41:21,411 --> 00:41:23,713
another four years
of Barack Obama

956
00:41:23,713 --> 00:41:25,148
and that's what you're getting
with her.

957
00:41:25,148 --> 00:41:26,516
>> I don't think there was any
moment in the campaign

958
00:41:26,516 --> 00:41:29,786
in which there was a more
divergent interpretation

959
00:41:29,786 --> 00:41:32,456
among political professionals
and members

960
00:41:32,456 --> 00:41:35,425
of Trump's vast and growing army
of supporters.

961
00:41:35,425 --> 00:41:37,393
>> When you talk about apology,

962
00:41:37,393 --> 00:41:40,864
I think the one that you should
really be apologizing for

963
00:41:40,864 --> 00:41:43,199
and the thing that you should be
apologizing for

964
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:47,036
are the 33,000 emails
that you deleted,

965
00:41:47,036 --> 00:41:49,371
and that you acid washed.

966
00:41:49,371 --> 00:41:53,177
>> Hillary Clinton, who is
clearly much more measured

967
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:54,811
and programmed than Trump.

968
00:41:54,811 --> 00:41:58,548
On the other hand, he's so much
more of a live wire,

969
00:41:58,548 --> 00:42:02,184
that by contrast she seems
overly programmed.

970
00:42:02,184 --> 00:42:03,152
>> Allow her to respond, please.

971
00:42:03,152 --> 00:42:05,289
>> Personal emails,
not official.

972
00:42:05,289 --> 00:42:06,322
>> 33,000?

973
00:42:06,322 --> 00:42:09,126
>> Well, we turned over 35,000,
so...

974
00:42:09,126 --> 00:42:11,126
>> Oh yeah, what about
the other 15,000?

975
00:42:11,126 --> 00:42:11,028
>> Please allow her to respond,

976
00:42:12,028 --> 00:42:14,230
she didn't talk while you
talked.

977
00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:16,065
>> Yes, that's true, I didn't.

978
00:42:16,065 --> 00:42:17,833
>> Because you had nothing
to say.

979
00:42:17,833 --> 00:42:19,168
>> I didn't in the first debate
and I'm going to try not...

980
00:42:19,168 --> 00:42:21,304
>> He's mocked for this during
and after the debate,

981
00:42:21,304 --> 00:42:24,106
kind of stalking around that
debate, kind of stalking her.

982
00:42:24,106 --> 00:42:26,744
He's, you know, ridiculed for
suggesting that he's going

983
00:42:26,744 --> 00:42:28,210
to put her in jail.

984
00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:32,248
>> If I win, I am going to 
instruct my attorney general

985
00:42:32,248 --> 00:42:36,586
to get a special prosecutor
to look into your situation,

986
00:42:36,586 --> 00:42:41,157
because there has never been so
many lies, so much deception,

987
00:42:41,157 --> 00:42:43,293
there has never been anything
like it.

988
00:42:43,293 --> 00:42:45,094
>> When he looked her straight
in the eye and said that,

989
00:42:45,094 --> 00:42:49,666
"There should be a commission to
study the crimes you've done."

990
00:42:49,666 --> 00:42:53,737
And to my surprise my focus
group said, "Absolutely."

991
00:42:53,737 --> 00:42:56,472
Even those who supported Hillary
Clinton want to see

992
00:42:56,472 --> 00:42:58,173
these candidates held
accountable.

993
00:42:58,173 --> 00:42:59,943
>> We have to move on, Secretary
Clinton you can respond,

994
00:42:59,943 --> 00:43:01,110
but we've got to move on.

995
00:43:01,110 --> 00:43:03,146
>> We want to give the audience
a chance here.

996
00:43:03,146 --> 00:43:05,815
>> So, for what the media saw

997
00:43:05,815 --> 00:43:10,920
as Third World dictatorial
politics, our voters saw

998
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,724
as one candidate holding the
other candidate accountable.

999
00:43:14,724 --> 00:43:17,594
>> It's just awfully good that
someone with the temperament

1000
00:43:17,594 --> 00:43:21,630
of Donald Trump is not in charge
of the law in our country.

1001
00:43:21,630 --> 00:43:23,400
>> Because you'd be in jail.

1002
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,739
(applause)

1003
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:31,875
>> We want to remind the
audience to please not talk

1004
00:43:31,875 --> 00:43:34,943
out loud, please do not applaud,
you're just wasting time.

1005
00:43:34,943 --> 00:43:36,413
>> When I speak, I go out
and speak,

1006
00:43:36,413 --> 00:43:38,947
the people of this country
are furious...

1007
00:43:38,947 --> 00:43:41,284
>> He was speaking the language
of the American people.

1008
00:43:41,284 --> 00:43:43,454
That he was holding
Hillary Clinton accountable.

1009
00:43:43,454 --> 00:43:45,889
You wouldn't know that if you
lived in New York

1010
00:43:45,889 --> 00:43:47,025
or Los Angeles, but you would
know that

1011
00:43:48,025 --> 00:43:53,996
if you were doing focus groups
in Columbus, Ohio,

1012
00:43:53,996 --> 00:43:58,603
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
or in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

1013
00:43:59,603 --> 00:44:04,074
>> NARRATOR: Back out
on the campaign trail

1014
00:44:04,074 --> 00:44:07,244
Trump's anti-establishment
message continued to resonate.

1015
00:44:07,244 --> 00:44:12,347
>> And we are going to drain
the swamp.

1016
00:44:12,347 --> 00:44:17,186
We're going to drain the swamp.

1017
00:44:17,186 --> 00:44:19,590
We're going to drain the swamp,
folks.

1018
00:44:19,590 --> 00:44:22,159
>> That was how Donald Trump
started out the campaign.

1019
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,327
>> We're going to drain
that swamp.

1020
00:44:24,327 --> 00:44:25,695
>> By saying things that were
anathema

1021
00:44:25,695 --> 00:44:29,364
to the establishment,
but that had resonance

1022
00:44:29,364 --> 00:44:33,936
in the base of support that he
was able to cobble together.

1023
00:44:33,936 --> 00:44:35,371
>> Build the wall!

1024
00:44:35,371 --> 00:44:38,074
Build the wall! Build the wall!

1025
00:44:38,074 --> 00:44:41,545
>> Yes, maybe he has offended
me, and maybe he's offensive,

1026
00:44:41,545 --> 00:44:43,179
but I'm still out of work.

1027
00:44:43,179 --> 00:44:45,514
I'm still mad that people are
pouring over the borders.

1028
00:44:45,514 --> 00:44:48,585
And I'm still mad that ISIS is
still attacking people

1029
00:44:48,585 --> 00:44:49,952
all over the globe.

1030
00:44:49,952 --> 00:44:53,422
And you know what, I'm just
going to stick with him.

1031
00:44:53,422 --> 00:44:55,025
>> NARRATOR: With time running
out, Trump's chances of winning

1032
00:44:56,025 --> 00:44:58,260
still seemed slim.

1033
00:44:58,260 --> 00:45:01,797
But the race would be shaken up
by an unlikely source:

1034
00:45:01,797 --> 00:45:02,599
Wikileaks.

1035
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:03,766
>> Breaking news here.

1036
00:45:03,766 --> 00:45:06,802
Wikileaks is about to release
"significant material"

1037
00:45:06,802 --> 00:45:07,971
tied to Hillary Clinton.

1038
00:45:07,971 --> 00:45:09,038
>> The campaign is doing damage
control tonight

1039
00:45:09,038 --> 00:45:11,608
after Wikileaks releases more...

1040
00:45:11,608 --> 00:45:13,610
>> NARRATOR: Tens of thousands
of private emails

1041
00:45:13,610 --> 00:45:16,846
from Clinton campaign chairman
John Podesta were released.

1042
00:45:16,846 --> 00:45:18,748
>> There are some embarrassing
details...

1043
00:45:18,748 --> 00:45:20,083
>> This was a daily phenomenon.

1044
00:45:20,083 --> 00:45:21,885
>> Both at home and abroad
in all of this...

1045
00:45:21,885 --> 00:45:28,090
>> It was a constant, uh, you
know, pain to our campaign. 

1046
00:45:28,090 --> 00:45:30,193
>> ...flood of emails suggest
that in private

1047
00:45:30,193 --> 00:45:32,762
her advisors like to tee off
on everyone,

1048
00:45:32,762 --> 00:45:35,798
from Catholics to Latinos
and Southerners...

1049
00:45:35,798 --> 00:45:38,367
>> NARRATOR: Day after day,
the stories continued.

1050
00:45:38,367 --> 00:45:40,003
>> That she couldn't convey
a clear message to voters...

1051
00:45:41,003 --> 00:45:42,606
>> It was incredibly damaging,

1052
00:45:42,606 --> 00:45:44,007
because every day there were
bad stories coming out.

1053
00:45:45,007 --> 00:45:47,143
And they could be perfectly
timed.

1054
00:45:47,143 --> 00:45:49,478
>> Robby Mook lashed out
writing,

1055
00:45:49,478 --> 00:45:51,146
"Wow, what a terrorist."

1056
00:45:51,146 --> 00:45:52,414
>> It was anxiety provoking.

1057
00:45:52,414 --> 00:45:54,451
You just don't know what's going
to come out on any day.

1058
00:45:54,451 --> 00:45:56,753
And that you're going to have
to deal with that.

1059
00:45:56,753 --> 00:45:57,019
>> More than 2,000 emails...

1060
00:45:58,019 --> 00:45:59,755
They claim they came from her...

1061
00:45:59,755 --> 00:46:01,257
>> NARRATOR: The first emails
began to trickle out

1062
00:46:01,257 --> 00:46:04,193
less than an hour after
the Access Hollywood video.

1063
00:46:04,193 --> 00:46:08,063
>> The Access Hollywood tape was
a big surge

1064
00:46:08,063 --> 00:46:11,735
but then, you know,
after it had run 400 times

1065
00:46:11,735 --> 00:46:14,336
on television it fell off.

1066
00:46:14,336 --> 00:46:18,875
The Podesta emails kept getting
dribbled out

1067
00:46:18,875 --> 00:46:20,976
news cycle after news cycle

1068
00:46:20,976 --> 00:46:24,114
after news cycle,
and it lives forever.

1069
00:46:24,114 --> 00:46:25,481
>> NARRATOR:
There were media reports

1070
00:46:25,481 --> 00:46:27,983
that intelligence agencies
believed the leaks

1071
00:46:27,983 --> 00:46:29,152
were orchestrated by Russia.

1072
00:46:29,152 --> 00:46:31,387
But that didn't seem
to bother Trump.

1073
00:46:31,387 --> 00:46:32,655
>> Wikileaks is amazing.

1074
00:46:32,655 --> 00:46:33,789
The stuff that's coming out.

1075
00:46:33,789 --> 00:46:35,891
It shows she's a real liar.

1076
00:46:35,891 --> 00:46:38,661
This Wikileaks stuff is
unbelievable,

1077
00:46:38,661 --> 00:46:41,864
it tells you the inner heart,
you got to read it.

1078
00:46:41,864 --> 00:46:44,400
Wikileaks, I love WikiLeaks.

1079
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,936
>> NARRATOR: After the election,

1080
00:46:45,936 --> 00:46:49,771
intelligence agencies would go
further, concluding

1081
00:46:49,771 --> 00:46:52,175
that the leaks were part
of a larger campaign

1082
00:46:52,175 --> 00:46:54,610
ordered by Russian
president Vladimir Putin

1083
00:46:54,610 --> 00:46:57,748
to help elect Donald Trump.

1084
00:46:57,748 --> 00:47:01,284
>> It was cyber
mixed with information warfare

1085
00:47:01,284 --> 00:47:04,887
and the press,
the New York Times included,

1086
00:47:04,887 --> 00:47:08,490
became the handmaiden
to the process,

1087
00:47:08,490 --> 00:47:11,061
because these emails couldn't
be ignored as news.

1088
00:47:11,061 --> 00:47:12,896
They were newsy.
They were out there.

1089
00:47:12,896 --> 00:47:16,766
It's not like you could ignore
it and not write about it.

1090
00:47:16,766 --> 00:47:18,869
But in writing about it,

1091
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:21,838
you're doing the work that
Vladimir Putin had in mind.

1092
00:47:21,838 --> 00:47:25,409
>> NARRATOR: Then in the final
days as Hillary Clinton

1093
00:47:25,409 --> 00:47:28,478
struggled to hold onto
her lead, another crisis.

1094
00:47:28,478 --> 00:47:30,480
>> An L.A. Times reporter
came up

1095
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,717
to our traveling press
secretary, Nick Merrill,

1096
00:47:33,717 --> 00:47:37,721
and said, "Hey, have you heard
anything about some reopening

1097
00:47:37,721 --> 00:47:39,889
of the investigation
by the F.B.I.?"

1098
00:47:39,889 --> 00:47:42,726
>> I kept thinking this can't
be, this has to be a mistake.

1099
00:47:42,726 --> 00:47:45,695
It's got to be referring
to something else.

1100
00:47:45,695 --> 00:47:48,498
>> NARRATOR: The F.B.I.
director, James Comey,

1101
00:47:48,498 --> 00:47:52,735
was resuming an investigation of
Clinton's personal email server.

1102
00:47:52,735 --> 00:47:56,139
>> And I just remember this pit
in my stomach

1103
00:47:56,139 --> 00:47:59,175
and really worrying

1104
00:47:59,175 --> 00:48:02,311
that this could change the game
completely,

1105
00:48:02,311 --> 00:48:07,483
in a, you know, in a potentially
lethal way.

1106
00:48:07,483 --> 00:48:10,385
>> NARRATOR: Mook and Palmieri
briefed Clinton.

1107
00:48:10,385 --> 00:48:13,856
>> When I went to tell her,
I said, "I've got some news."

1108
00:48:13,856 --> 00:48:15,891
And she said,
"Okay, what's your news?"

1109
00:48:15,891 --> 00:48:18,094
And I said, "It's bad news."

1110
00:48:18,094 --> 00:48:21,030
So, um, she said,
"Okay, what's the bad news?"

1111
00:48:22,030 --> 00:48:23,132
And so I told her.

1112
00:48:23,132 --> 00:48:25,802
And she said, "I knew we
weren't going three weeks

1113
00:48:25,802 --> 00:48:28,304
without something else
hitting us."

1114
00:48:28,304 --> 00:48:32,108
>> That pit in my stomach,
you know, I'll never forget

1115
00:48:32,108 --> 00:48:38,313
that feeling, that, um, we just
got smacked

1116
00:48:38,313 --> 00:48:42,686
by a two-by-four and it
came out of nowhere.

1117
00:48:44,686 --> 00:48:48,190
>> NARRATOR: Donald Trump
immediately seized on the news.

1118
00:48:48,190 --> 00:48:50,293
>> I need to open

1119
00:48:50,293 --> 00:48:54,597
with a very critical
breaking news announcement.

1120
00:48:54,597 --> 00:49:01,204
(crowd cheering)

1121
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:10,480
The F.B.I. has just sent
a letter to Congress,

1122
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,050
informing them that they have
discovered

1123
00:49:14,050 --> 00:49:22,958
new emails pertaining to the
former secretary of state,

1124
00:49:22,958 --> 00:49:25,429
Hillary Clinton's,
investigation.

1125
00:49:25,429 --> 00:49:30,800
(crowd cheering)

1126
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,501
>> Lock her up!

1127
00:49:32,501 --> 00:49:35,739
Lock her up! Lock her up!

1128
00:49:35,739 --> 00:49:40,380
(cheering continues)

1129
00:49:45,380 --> 00:49:50,086
>> And they are reopening
the case into her criminal

1130
00:49:50,086 --> 00:49:53,590
and illegal conduct that
threatens

1131
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:57,094
the security of the United
States of America.

1132
00:49:57,094 --> 00:50:00,063
(crowd shouting)

1133
00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:02,498
>> To win you need
a few breaks.

1134
00:50:02,498 --> 00:50:04,934
The F.B.I. announcement was such
a break,

1135
00:50:04,934 --> 00:50:07,369
certainly not controlled
by the Trump campaign,

1136
00:50:07,369 --> 00:50:10,338
but it really did throw
all the cards up in the air

1137
00:50:10,338 --> 00:50:11,942
at a pivotal time.

1138
00:50:11,942 --> 00:50:13,010
>> We are going to drain
the swamp.

1139
00:50:14,010 --> 00:50:15,945
>> NARRATOR: For the next week
and a half...

1140
00:50:15,945 --> 00:50:17,280
>> We are going
to re-negotiate...

1141
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:18,014
>> NARRATOR: Trump traveled
the country

1142
00:50:19,014 --> 00:50:20,115
building on that momentum.

1143
00:50:20,115 --> 00:50:23,552
>> And we will keep radical
Islamic terrorists...

1144
00:50:23,552 --> 00:50:25,454
>> NARRATOR: Staying
on message...

1145
00:50:25,454 --> 00:50:26,456
>> ...the hell out...

1146
00:50:26,456 --> 00:50:27,289
>> NARRATOR: Off Twitter...

1147
00:50:27,289 --> 00:50:29,125
>> We will build a great wall.

1148
00:50:29,125 --> 00:50:32,594
>> NARRATOR: Inside his campaign
they hoped it would be enough.

1149
00:50:32,594 --> 00:50:36,798
>> And we will make America
great again.

1150
00:50:36,798 --> 00:50:39,268
>> It was the first time that
Mr. Trump was relatively

1151
00:50:39,268 --> 00:50:40,003
scandal-free at that point.

1152
00:50:41,003 --> 00:50:42,137
A lot of things had gone away.

1153
00:50:42,137 --> 00:50:44,739
Secretary Clinton was
in the spotlight by herself.

1154
00:50:44,739 --> 00:50:47,143
And we saw a spike in numbers

1155
00:50:47,143 --> 00:50:50,112
that were just uncommon for
anything that we've seen before.

1156
00:50:50,112 --> 00:50:53,215
That was really the catalyst for
the roll, the snowball effect

1157
00:50:53,215 --> 00:50:55,652
that continued to happen
till Election Day.

1158
00:50:55,652 --> 00:50:58,154
>> NARRATOR: In the final days
of the campaign,

1159
00:50:58,154 --> 00:51:02,291
he solidified the Republican
base and in rally after rally,

1160
00:51:02,291 --> 00:51:06,463
he tried to win over voters
in the heart of the blue wall,

1161
00:51:06,463 --> 00:51:10,465
states a Republican hadn't won
in a generation.

1162
00:51:10,465 --> 00:51:14,070
>> In all these steel towns that
have carcasses of factories,

1163
00:51:14,070 --> 00:51:18,474
buildings where they used to
have molten metal, no more.

1164
00:51:18,474 --> 00:51:21,210
But you know what was there?

1165
00:51:21,210 --> 00:51:23,545
Trump signs.

1166
00:51:23,545 --> 00:51:26,215
>> Today is decision day in
America and we are taking a look

1167
00:51:26,215 --> 00:51:27,516
at the presidential race...

1168
00:51:27,516 --> 00:51:29,452
>> After a long, contentious
presidential race

1169
00:51:29,452 --> 00:51:30,853
we are near the end...

1170
00:51:30,853 --> 00:51:32,021
>> Donald Trump will carry
the state of Florida

1171
00:51:33,021 --> 00:51:34,190
with its 29 electoral...

1172
00:51:34,190 --> 00:51:36,625
>> Donald Trump has won
the state of Wisconsin,

1173
00:51:36,625 --> 00:51:38,293
and there goes her blue wall.

1174
00:51:38,293 --> 00:51:43,099
>> This means that Donald Trump
will be the 45th president

1175
00:51:43,099 --> 00:51:45,400
of the United States.

1176
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,405
>> NARRATOR: As a candidate,
he had broken all the rules.

1177
00:51:49,405 --> 00:51:54,309
Now in the White House,
he promises to do the same.

1178
00:51:54,309 --> 00:51:57,746
>> You guys need to get used
to it that there is no pivot,

1179
00:51:57,746 --> 00:52:02,050
that there is no normal, and the
fact that there is no normal

1180
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:04,086
is the new normal.

1181
00:52:04,086 --> 00:52:05,887
The only thing that is
predictable

1182
00:52:05,887 --> 00:52:08,925
is the unpredictability
of Washington, D.C.,

1183
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:10,293
from this point forward.

1184
00:52:10,293 --> 00:52:11,527
So get used to it.

1185
00:52:11,527 --> 00:52:14,764
Buckle your seat belts, sit
back, because it is going to be

1186
00:52:14,764 --> 00:52:16,431
a wild ride.

1187
00:52:16,431 --> 00:52:22,313
>> From this day forward, a new
vision will govern our land.

1188
00:52:30,313 --> 00:52:33,248
<i> >> On the front line of Iraq's
 fight against ISIS.</i>
