1
00:00:16,249 --> 00:00:17,350
>> Tonight...

2
00:00:17,383 --> 00:00:20,553
>> I, Donald John Trump,
do solemnly swear...

3
00:00:20,586 --> 00:00:23,222
>><i> As Donald Trump begins
 his presidency...</i>

4
00:00:23,255 --> 00:00:27,126
>> We had won the election that
no one thought we could win.

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,695
>><i> The inside story of how
 he got there.</i>

6
00:00:29,729 --> 00:00:32,298
>> Once I understood that he was
willing to double down and be

7
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,900
a fighter for what he believes 
in, I'm all in.

8
00:00:34,934 --> 00:00:36,902
>> They'd be carried out
on a stretcher, folks.

9
00:00:36,936 --> 00:00:40,606
>> It felt like a box of matches
even before he took the stage,

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,742
and they were just waiting
for Donald Trump to come

11
00:00:42,776 --> 00:00:43,743
and light it.

12
00:00:43,776 --> 00:00:45,311
>><i> From his closest advisors...</i>

13
00:00:45,344 --> 00:00:48,314
>> I had said to Mr. Trump one
day, "Are you ready to win?"

14
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:49,382
>><i> And his rivals.</i>

15
00:00:49,415 --> 00:00:50,850
>> Director Comey's letter...

16
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:52,685
>> Just got smacked
by a two-by-four.

17
00:00:52,718 --> 00:00:55,187
And it came out of nowhere.

18
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,990
>><i> The provocative campaign...</i>

19
00:00:57,023 --> 00:00:59,692
>> Nobody knows the system
better than me.

20
00:00:59,725 --> 00:01:01,327
>><i> ...to the presidency.</i>

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,100
>> Which is why I alone can
fix it.

22
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:08,133
>><i> Tonight on</i> Frontline...

23
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:09,201
>> So help me God...

24
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:12,138
>><i> "Trump's Road
 to the White House."</i>

25
00:01:34,627 --> 00:01:37,797
>> Tonight's program contains
graphic language.

26
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:39,566
Viewer discretion is advised.

27
00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:43,470
>> Today is finally the day.

28
00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:45,571
The presidential nominees have
made their final...

29
00:01:45,604 --> 00:01:47,573
>> Today is decision day in
America and we are taking a look

30
00:01:47,606 --> 00:01:48,741
at the presidential race...

31
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:50,976
>> After a long, contentious
presidential race...

32
00:01:51,009 --> 00:01:52,344
>> NARRATOR: On Election Day,

33
00:01:52,378 --> 00:01:54,880
Donald Trump and his senior
campaign team were huddled

34
00:01:54,914 --> 00:01:56,215
at Trump Tower.

35
00:01:56,248 --> 00:01:57,917
>> They went into election night

36
00:01:57,950 --> 00:02:00,285
believing that they were going
to lose.

37
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:02,488
>> ...as the polls close across
the country...

38
00:02:02,521 --> 00:02:04,923
>> NARRATOR: At 5:00 they
received the first exit polls.

39
00:02:04,957 --> 00:02:06,659
>> We're counting down to the
first poll closings right now...

40
00:02:07,827 --> 00:02:09,795
>> When we got those early
returns, the exit polls,

41
00:02:09,828 --> 00:02:15,702
and I actually got it about
5:01, we all had

42
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:16,702
a little bit of a gut punch.

43
00:02:16,736 --> 00:02:18,004
>> If Trump wants to win,

44
00:02:18,037 --> 00:02:20,640
he's got to hold onto Florida
and North Carolina...

45
00:02:20,673 --> 00:02:22,808
>> In state after state he was
so far behind that I knew

46
00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:24,110
that he was going to lose,

47
00:02:24,143 --> 00:02:26,846
because the exit polls don't
get it wrong.

48
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:30,416
>> We were getting crushed in
like Michigan, Pennsylvania.

49
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:34,320
I mean just... and so, from like
6:00 on, you know,

50
00:02:34,353 --> 00:02:36,522
we're all like, "Oh, my God."

51
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,390
>> And look at all these wins
we're projecting

52
00:02:38,423 --> 00:02:39,458
for Hillary Clinton right now.

53
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,627
Take a look at the electoral
map now...

54
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:42,829
>> NARRATOR: It seemed to
confirm what the media

55
00:02:42,862 --> 00:02:45,631
and political establishment
had been saying for months:

56
00:02:45,664 --> 00:02:48,468
Donald Trump never had a chance.

57
00:02:50,002 --> 00:02:52,638
>> Every senior Republican that
I talked to,

58
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:58,044
with only one exception, thought
that Trump was going to lose.

59
00:02:58,077 --> 00:03:00,213
>> NARRATOR: But as the votes
were counted in Florida,

60
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:01,547
a surprise.

61
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:04,183
>> And CNN projects Donald
Trump will carry the state

62
00:03:04,216 --> 00:03:05,317
of Florida.

63
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:07,586
With its 29 electoral votes,
Donald...

64
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,989
>> NARRATOR: Florida was just
the beginning.

65
00:03:10,022 --> 00:03:12,458
>> There's a big ole call to
make right now.

66
00:03:12,491 --> 00:03:13,959
Donald Trump has won
the state of Wisconsin

67
00:03:13,992 --> 00:03:16,795
and there goes her blue wall.

68
00:03:16,829 --> 00:03:18,097
>> Late on election night

69
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:22,068
one of his senior campaign
officials emailed me

70
00:03:22,101 --> 00:03:25,538
and just said, "Can you type
President Trump?"

71
00:03:25,571 --> 00:03:30,576
>> Fox News has called
Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.

72
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:33,245
>> Our communications director,
Jason Miller, held up and said,

73
00:03:33,279 --> 00:03:34,313
"A.P. just called."

74
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,682
And I said, "Just called what?
Which state?"

75
00:03:36,715 --> 00:03:38,417
And he said, "The whole race."

76
00:03:38,450 --> 00:03:39,718
>> This means that Donald Trump

77
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:44,257
will be the 45th president
of the United States.

78
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:51,096
The most unreal, surreal
election we have ever seen.

79
00:03:51,129 --> 00:03:52,098
>> Chris Christie's son said,

80
00:03:52,131 --> 00:03:53,966
"Kellyanne, your phone is
ringing."

81
00:03:53,999 --> 00:03:56,002
And I looked down and it said
Huma Abedin.

82
00:03:56,035 --> 00:03:57,703
And she said, "Secretary
Clinton would like to speak

83
00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:58,504
with Mr. Trump."

84
00:03:58,537 --> 00:03:59,439
And I said, "Right now?"

85
00:03:59,472 --> 00:04:01,106
And she said, "If he's
available."

86
00:04:01,139 --> 00:04:02,207
And I said, "He's available."

87
00:04:02,241 --> 00:04:04,376
And I said, "Sir, Secretary
Clinton."

88
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:07,547
>> NARRATOR: She had been
first lady, a senator,

89
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,915
and secretary of state.

90
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:13,720
She conceded to an
entrepreneur, reality TV star,

91
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,288
and novice politician.

92
00:04:16,321 --> 00:04:19,491
The call lasted about a minute.

93
00:04:19,525 --> 00:04:20,860
>> In an electoral college

94
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:24,430
victory that virtually no one
saw coming a year ago,

95
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:27,033
a few months ago...

96
00:04:27,066 --> 00:04:28,667
Even a month ago,
even yesterday...

97
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:30,669
>> It was an "Oh, my God"
moment.

98
00:04:30,702 --> 00:04:33,439
It was euphoria that we had won
the election

99
00:04:33,472 --> 00:04:36,009
that no one thought
we could win.

100
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:41,180
>> NARRATOR: Not long after,

101
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:45,184
to the music from Harrison
Ford's movie<i> Air Force One,</i>

102
00:04:45,217 --> 00:04:50,523
the president-elect arrived
at his victory celebration.

103
00:04:50,556 --> 00:04:53,626
>> Even for him, it was an
overwhelming feeling

104
00:04:53,659 --> 00:04:59,999
to see yourself be elected
president of the United States.

105
00:05:00,032 --> 00:05:04,036
>> You're never going to see
anybody like this again.

106
00:05:04,069 --> 00:05:07,473
He is somebody that defied every
political rule that existed

107
00:05:07,506 --> 00:05:10,276
in a way that nobody
has ever done before.

108
00:05:11,410 --> 00:05:12,145
>> It's my honor.

109
00:05:12,178 --> 00:05:13,246
It's an amazing evening.

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,681
It's been an amazing
two-year period.

111
00:05:15,714 --> 00:05:19,351
And I love this country.

112
00:05:19,385 --> 00:05:20,653
Thank you.

113
00:05:20,686 --> 00:05:23,022
>> NARRATOR: It was
an unprecedented outcome.

114
00:05:23,055 --> 00:05:25,358
Over 17 months, Donald Trump
had broken nearly every rule

115
00:05:25,391 --> 00:05:28,694
of American politics.

116
00:05:28,727 --> 00:05:33,098
Then came the question whether
the way he had campaigned

117
00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:35,268
would be the way
he would govern.

118
00:05:36,034 --> 00:05:37,703
>> Trump is going to be Trump.

119
00:05:37,737 --> 00:05:40,539
This idea that you can make him
into something else, that's not

120
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:42,308
what the people voted for.

121
00:05:42,341 --> 00:05:44,610
They voted for Trump as he is.

122
00:05:44,643 --> 00:05:47,346
That's the way they want him
to be.

123
00:05:47,379 --> 00:05:49,482
And nobody is going
to remake him.

124
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:53,952
He will either succeed or fail
being Donald Trump.

125
00:05:53,986 --> 00:05:56,989
>> The sheer unpredictability
of a President Donald Trump...

126
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,758
>> ...how unpredictable the new
terrain here in Washington is...

127
00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:02,795
>> ...is this our new normal,
is there reason for concern?

128
00:06:02,828 --> 00:06:04,830
>> It's the creation of a new
reality.

129
00:06:04,863 --> 00:06:06,566
>> Donald Trump has broken the
rules of what it means

130
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:07,633
to be president-elect.

131
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:09,602
>> What Trump are we going
to see, do you think?

132
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:11,604
>> We're going to constantly
have rules that are broken,

133
00:06:11,637 --> 00:06:13,038
and my way or the highway...

134
00:06:13,072 --> 00:06:15,641
>> A President Trump is
very much a wild card...

135
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:17,176
>> We'll call it a political
earthquake, an unraveling

136
00:06:17,209 --> 00:06:19,045
of the system, or even
a revolution...

137
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:21,380
>> NARRATOR: The seeds of
Donald Trump's presidency are

138
00:06:21,413 --> 00:06:24,349
embedded in his path to power.

139
00:06:24,383 --> 00:06:25,517
He redefined what it meant

140
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:29,455
to be a serious presidential
candidate,

141
00:06:29,488 --> 00:06:30,990
starting with his announcement.

142
00:06:34,793 --> 00:06:41,300
>> I remember watching the
announcement, and laughing

143
00:06:41,333 --> 00:06:44,537
at the entertainment value,
the way a lot of people did.

144
00:06:46,205 --> 00:06:49,074
>> In Washington you could
almost just hear people

145
00:06:49,107 --> 00:06:52,878
around town laughing at the...
at the... at the idea

146
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:57,249
that this person was going to be
a credible threat.

147
00:06:57,283 --> 00:06:58,984
He seemed like a cartoon
character.

148
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:03,389
>> He did the exact opposite of
what every candidate has done

149
00:07:03,422 --> 00:07:04,924
before him.

150
00:07:04,957 --> 00:07:05,791
It was like extending
the middle finger

151
00:07:05,824 --> 00:07:08,126
to the political establishment.

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,998
And in doing that in that very
first moment, people took a look

153
00:07:12,031 --> 00:07:15,634
at him and said, "You know
what, he really is different."

154
00:07:15,667 --> 00:07:18,438
>> That is some group of people,
thousands...

155
00:07:19,771 --> 00:07:21,940
>> I wrote what was supposed
to be his announcement speech,

156
00:07:21,974 --> 00:07:23,942
and that speech was supposed to
clock in at about seven minutes

157
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:24,977
and 43 seconds.

158
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:27,246
>> We got to make the country
rich.

159
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,181
It sounds crass.

160
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,115
Somebody said,
"Oh, that's crass."

161
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:31,083
It's not crass.

162
00:07:31,116 --> 00:07:33,819
We got $18 trillion in debt.

163
00:07:33,852 --> 00:07:36,254
>> Probably three or four
minutes into his remarks,

164
00:07:36,288 --> 00:07:38,690
I could clearly tell that these
were not the prepared remarks,

165
00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:39,859
which I had drafted.

166
00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:41,960
And then he had gone on to make
an announcement speech

167
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:44,730
which lasted somewhere
around 45 or 48 minutes.

168
00:07:44,764 --> 00:07:50,770
>> When Mexico sends its people,
they're not sending their best.

169
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:52,638
They're bringing drugs.

170
00:07:52,671 --> 00:07:54,239
They're bringing crime.

171
00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:55,374
They're rapists.

172
00:07:55,407 --> 00:07:58,544
And some, I assume,
are good people.

173
00:07:58,577 --> 00:08:00,713
>> When he made his comments
about Mexicans,

174
00:08:00,746 --> 00:08:02,347
everybody was convinced,
"That's it.

175
00:08:02,381 --> 00:08:04,817
He just blew himself up."

176
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:07,019
Everybody was like, uh,
"This is going to be

177
00:08:07,052 --> 00:08:08,053
the death of him."

178
00:08:08,087 --> 00:08:10,222
>> NARRATOR: Behind the scenes,
Trump's campaign

179
00:08:10,255 --> 00:08:12,658
was as unconventional
as his announcement.

180
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:17,296
>> Donald Trump's campaign was
lean and small and, in a sense,

181
00:08:17,329 --> 00:08:20,399
run out of Donald Trump's,
you know, instincts.

182
00:08:20,432 --> 00:08:24,202
I mean, he threw all of the
normal things out the window.

183
00:08:24,236 --> 00:08:27,873
>> NARRATOR: Corey Lewandowski,
an obscure political operative,

184
00:08:27,906 --> 00:08:29,375
was the campaign's manager.

185
00:08:29,408 --> 00:08:30,876
>> In my very first meeting
with Mr. Trump

186
00:08:30,909 --> 00:08:33,379
when he offered me the position
to be his campaign manager

187
00:08:33,412 --> 00:08:35,814
in January of 2015, he asked me
what I thought his odds were

188
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:37,416
of winning the Republican
nomination.

189
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:38,450
I said five percent.

190
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,551
And he said ten.

191
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:41,420
I said, "Let's settle
at seven and a half."

192
00:08:41,453 --> 00:08:42,922
>> NARRATOR: They worked
50 floors below

193
00:08:42,955 --> 00:08:45,123
Trump's New York penthouse.

194
00:08:45,157 --> 00:08:48,894
It had once housed the set 
 where<i> The Apprentice</i> was shot.

195
00:08:48,927 --> 00:08:51,597
>> All of the<i> Apprentice</i> camera
equipment and furniture had been

196
00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:52,698
ripped out of it.

197
00:08:52,731 --> 00:08:54,833
You looked up at the ceiling
and it was open piping.

198
00:08:54,866 --> 00:08:56,368
It was barebones.

199
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:59,038
And a lot of Trump pictures
all over the walls.

200
00:08:59,071 --> 00:09:02,407
>> NARRATOR: As key advisors,
Trump chose his children.

201
00:09:02,441 --> 00:09:05,744
Running things behind the
scenes, his son-in-law,

202
00:09:05,778 --> 00:09:06,879
Jared Kushner.

203
00:09:06,912 --> 00:09:08,013
>> It's this family business.

204
00:09:08,046 --> 00:09:12,384
With Ivanka and her brothers
Eric and Don Jr.,

205
00:09:12,417 --> 00:09:13,686
and Ivanka's husband Jared,

206
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:17,523
we had this kind of council
of advisors around Trump

207
00:09:17,556 --> 00:09:19,558
that he would turn to.

208
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:22,328
>> NARRATOR: The campaign
had a fundamental rule:

209
00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:25,197
"Let Trump be Trump."

210
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,433
>> I used to liken my role
to being a jockey

211
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:31,036
on a great racehorse--
let's say American Pharoah.

212
00:09:31,069 --> 00:09:34,573
And my job was to maybe drive
that horse into the corners

213
00:09:34,607 --> 00:09:36,575
a little bit and put some
blinders on,

214
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:37,710
but you got to let it run.

215
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,312
>> Donald Trump is back on the
road campaigning at...

216
00:09:40,345 --> 00:09:42,248
>> NARRATOR: He caused
controversy from the very start.

217
00:09:42,281 --> 00:09:44,016
>> Trump trying to secure
the evangelical vote

218
00:09:44,049 --> 00:09:45,750
with three campaign events
in Iowa today.

219
00:09:45,784 --> 00:09:47,720
>> NARRATOR: In Iowa,
as he was interviewed

220
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,388
by Republican pollster
Frank Luntz...

221
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:52,891
>> And he and I get into an
exchange over John McCain,

222
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:55,127
because he is taking shots
at McCain and I thought

223
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,029
they were gratuitous.

224
00:09:57,062 --> 00:09:58,063
>> He's not a war hero.

225
00:09:58,096 --> 00:09:59,298
>> He's a war hero.
>> He's a war hero...

226
00:09:59,331 --> 00:10:00,332
>> Five-and-a-half years of...

227
00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:02,034
>> He's a war hero because he
was captured.

228
00:10:02,067 --> 00:10:04,102
I like people that weren't
captured, okay?

229
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:05,237
I hate to tell you.

230
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:06,438
>> Do you agree with that?

231
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:09,842
>> He's a war hero because he
was captured.

232
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:12,511
>> I couldn't believe
he said that.

233
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:13,779
I was completely stunned.

234
00:10:13,812 --> 00:10:18,383
Everyone in that room thought,
"This is it, it's over."

235
00:10:18,416 --> 00:10:20,720
>> Folks, I want to make America
great again.

236
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:22,721
We want to get down
to brass tacks.

237
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:25,257
We don't want to listen to his
stuff with being

238
00:10:25,290 --> 00:10:27,026
politically correct and
everything has...

239
00:10:27,059 --> 00:10:28,794
we have a lot of work to do.

240
00:10:28,827 --> 00:10:31,263
>> You know, I asked Mr. Trump
after he came off the stage

241
00:10:31,296 --> 00:10:32,931
to have a private conversation
with him, and I said,

242
00:10:32,964 --> 00:10:34,366
"I think we need to fix this."

243
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:36,602
And when I said "Fix it,"
I meant an apology.

244
00:10:36,635 --> 00:10:38,236
And Donald Trump understood
things that I didn't understand

245
00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:39,238
about the American people,

246
00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:41,340
said, "No, no, you don't
understand."

247
00:10:41,373 --> 00:10:43,776
>> NARRATOR: Trump refused
to apologize.

248
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:46,045
>> And once I understood that he
was willing to double down

249
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:48,847
on his comments, and be a
fighter for what he believes in,

250
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,350
I'm all in.

251
00:10:51,383 --> 00:10:53,985
And I'm there with you,
to support you.

252
00:10:54,019 --> 00:10:56,321
>> Don Voyage, Trump is toast
after insult...

253
00:10:56,355 --> 00:10:58,524
>> Everything erupted after this
because social media exploded...

254
00:10:58,557 --> 00:10:59,958
>> Virtually every Republican
criticized Trump...

255
00:10:59,992 --> 00:11:02,895
>> This clip is played on every
newscast for the next 48 hours.

256
00:11:02,928 --> 00:11:05,163
>> So far Trump's political
campaign operates

257
00:11:05,197 --> 00:11:06,732
with a no guts, no glory
approach.

258
00:11:06,765 --> 00:11:08,633
>> And he survived it.

259
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:13,605
He survived walls and Mexicans
and everything.

260
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,775
That which doesn't kill us
makes us stronger,

261
00:11:16,808 --> 00:11:18,843
and if you ever needed any
evidence,

262
00:11:18,877 --> 00:11:20,712
just look at Donald Trump.

263
00:11:20,746 --> 00:11:23,182
>> The biggest event to date in
campaign 2016...

264
00:11:23,215 --> 00:11:24,916
>> Top ten candidates taking
the stage...

265
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:26,084
>> Donald Trump gearing up for
the crucial...

266
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:27,820
>> NARRATOR: Two and a half
weeks later in Cleveland,

267
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:30,089
the first Republican debate.

268
00:11:30,122 --> 00:11:32,924
>> Businessman Donald Trump.

269
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:35,393
>> NARRATOR: He was facing off
against a group of candidates

270
00:11:35,427 --> 00:11:39,231
Republican leaders touted
as the best in a generation.

271
00:11:39,264 --> 00:11:41,567
>> It is 9:00 p.m.
on the East Coast.

272
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,035
And the moment of truth has
arrived.

273
00:11:43,068 --> 00:11:44,035
>> Among the other candidates

274
00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:46,938
there was this sort
of smug confidence

275
00:11:46,971 --> 00:11:48,473
that we know what we're doing.

276
00:11:48,506 --> 00:11:51,076
This guy is from show business,

277
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:54,947
a little bit Hollywood,
lot of razzle-dazzle.

278
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:57,016
>> NARRATOR: Early in the
debate, he faced

279
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:59,518
a crucial test-- whether his
tabloid past

280
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:03,655
and outrageous statements would
sink his campaign.

281
00:12:03,688 --> 00:12:07,492
>> You've called women you don't
like "fat pigs," "dogs,"

282
00:12:07,526 --> 00:12:10,696
"slobs," and "disgusting
animals."

283
00:12:10,729 --> 00:12:11,864
Your Twitter account...

284
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:13,732
>> Only Rosie O'Donnell.

285
00:12:13,766 --> 00:12:15,467
(laughter)

286
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:16,601
>> No, it wasn't.

287
00:12:16,635 --> 00:12:17,837
>> Trump doesn't deny it.

288
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:21,440
He simply says, "I only said
that about Rosie O'Donnell."

289
00:12:21,473 --> 00:12:24,176
And in a way that is pure Trump.

290
00:12:24,209 --> 00:12:26,578
>> What I say is what I say.

291
00:12:26,612 --> 00:12:30,015
And honestly, Megyn, if you
don't like it, I'm sorry.

292
00:12:30,048 --> 00:12:31,283
I've been very nice to you,

293
00:12:31,316 --> 00:12:33,485
although I could probably maybe
not be based on the way

294
00:12:33,518 --> 00:12:36,621
you have treated me,
but I wouldn't do that.

295
00:12:36,655 --> 00:12:41,626
>> He's doing something that is
both repellent

296
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:44,330
and completely authentic,
all at once.

297
00:12:44,363 --> 00:12:46,966
And he's acknowledging that he
said these horrid things.

298
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:48,333
He's not shirking it.

299
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:51,203
I think there were voters out
there that said, "You go, man.

300
00:12:52,338 --> 00:12:54,172
"You said exactly what you
think,

301
00:12:54,205 --> 00:12:56,008
and you're not backing down."

302
00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:58,944
>> NARRATOR: And Trump
wasn't done.

303
00:12:58,977 --> 00:13:01,179
After the debate,
the candidates appeared

304
00:13:01,212 --> 00:13:04,316
in what is known as spin alley.

305
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:07,085
Trump kept the controversy
going.

306
00:13:07,119 --> 00:13:10,789
>> Donald Trump shows up, as if
he needed this hit of adrenaline

307
00:13:10,822 --> 00:13:12,691
before he went home to New York.

308
00:13:12,724 --> 00:13:13,926
>> You guys okay?

309
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:15,794
Don't hurt yourselves.

310
00:13:15,827 --> 00:13:19,798
>> It was like mosquitos to
a lantern on a summer night.

311
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:23,501
I mean the entire national press
corps descended.

312
00:13:23,535 --> 00:13:25,804
>> People were being trampled
and camera equipment was flying

313
00:13:25,837 --> 00:13:27,940
all over the place and I'd
never seen a scene like this.

314
00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:31,176
I mean, I've seen many media
stampedes but nothing like that.

315
00:13:31,209 --> 00:13:32,845
>> What's your history
with Megyn?

316
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:35,481
>> I think, I think Megyn
behaved very badly, personally.

317
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:36,749
>> The question about women.

318
00:13:36,782 --> 00:13:37,750
You didn't like that?

319
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:40,419
>> I thought it was an unfair
question.

320
00:13:40,452 --> 00:13:41,820
>> Trump can't help himself

321
00:13:41,854 --> 00:13:45,423
because he considers anybody
questioning his bona fides

322
00:13:45,457 --> 00:13:50,529
as someone who he needs to
decapitate, essentially.

323
00:13:50,562 --> 00:13:52,731
>> NARRATOR: It was just
the beginning.

324
00:13:52,764 --> 00:13:55,901
At 3:40 in the morning,
he lit up Twitter.

325
00:13:55,934 --> 00:13:58,203
>> Wow, @megynkelly really
bombed tonight.

326
00:13:58,236 --> 00:14:00,338
People are going wild
on Twitter!

327
00:14:00,372 --> 00:14:01,440
Funny to watch.

328
00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:06,511
>> NARRATOR: On the phone
with CNN, he pushed harder.

329
00:14:06,544 --> 00:14:07,846
>> What is it with you
and Megyn Kelly?

330
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:10,282
>> She starts asking me all
sorts of ridiculous questions.

331
00:14:10,315 --> 00:14:12,017
And, you know, you could see
there was blood

332
00:14:12,050 --> 00:14:13,418
coming out of her eyes.

333
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:16,321
Uh, blood coming out of her
wherever.

334
00:14:16,354 --> 00:14:18,623
>> Donald Trump attacks her and
suggests she only asked

335
00:14:18,657 --> 00:14:22,027
a tough question because
she was menstruating.

336
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:27,066
I mean, um...

337
00:14:27,099 --> 00:14:30,803
and his numbers went up.

338
00:14:30,836 --> 00:14:33,438
>> She's a lightweight, I
couldn't care less about her.

339
00:14:33,472 --> 00:14:36,775
>> At every stage in the
campaign, Donald Trump was

340
00:14:36,808 --> 00:14:41,579
perfectly happy to have
the elites be aghast at him.

341
00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:46,585
The kind of non-politically
correct, decisive, tough,

342
00:14:46,618 --> 00:14:49,921
battling kind of personality

343
00:14:49,954 --> 00:14:51,990
that he was putting forward
in that debate

344
00:14:52,023 --> 00:14:53,925
and in the confrontations
with Megyn Kelly

345
00:14:53,958 --> 00:14:56,194
and others that he sought out.

346
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:59,832
>> NARRATOR: While the media
controversy swirled,

347
00:14:59,865 --> 00:15:03,768
Trump was out in the country
building his base.

348
00:15:03,802 --> 00:15:05,871
His personal plane rolled up
to hangars

349
00:15:05,904 --> 00:15:08,940
filled with curious onlookers,
eager to see

350
00:15:08,973 --> 00:15:12,711
the reality TV star in person.

351
00:15:12,744 --> 00:15:13,745
>> There were a lot of people

352
00:15:13,778 --> 00:15:15,581
who were there who were pure
curiosity seekers.

353
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:16,949
They were there to see
a celebrity.

354
00:15:16,982 --> 00:15:20,318
They were there to see the guy
they know from<i> The Apprentice.</i>

355
00:15:20,351 --> 00:15:22,187
>> Trump is a producer at heart.

356
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:23,588
And when he did these rallies,

357
00:15:23,621 --> 00:15:26,358
he made sure that the staging
was perfect.

358
00:15:26,391 --> 00:15:30,663
So we see the same elements
that Trump applied

359
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:32,864
in his hit TV show<i>
 The Apprentice.</i>

360
00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:36,000
We saw that in the early
rallies.

361
00:15:36,034 --> 00:15:38,736
>> ♪ We're not gonna take it. ♪

362
00:15:38,770 --> 00:15:40,706
♪ No, we ain't gonna take it. ♪

363
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:44,143
>> And right at the moment
of the first chord,

364
00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:46,745
Trump hits the stage.

365
00:15:46,778 --> 00:15:53,418
And I felt this wave go through
me and that was the moment

366
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:57,256
that I realized, "Holy (bleep),
this is real."

367
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:03,595
It was like Pavlov's dog.

368
00:16:03,628 --> 00:16:08,500
He hits the stage, they erupt.

369
00:16:08,533 --> 00:16:11,836
I had never seen this before.

370
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:14,973
>> Trump just had them
in the palm of his hand.

371
00:16:15,006 --> 00:16:17,275
He... I mean, they were
responding to him.

372
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:18,476
He was responding to them.

373
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:21,713
(cheering)

374
00:16:21,746 --> 00:16:24,983
>> Those crowds at those
rallies, they were

375
00:16:25,016 --> 00:16:27,386
tremendously energizing to him.

376
00:16:27,419 --> 00:16:30,188
I mean, it was a... it was
a symbiotic relationship.

377
00:16:30,221 --> 00:16:32,490
They fed off of each other.

378
00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:36,028
The crowd fed off of him,
he fed off of the crowd.

379
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:40,064
>> For Donald, confidence is
a huge part of the game.

380
00:16:40,098 --> 00:16:42,801
This was the whole point
of all those rallies.

381
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:46,838
It wasn't just to fire up
people to vote for him.

382
00:16:46,871 --> 00:16:50,976
It was to fire up Donald Trump.

383
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,013
He feeds off of audiences
in a way that I think

384
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:56,881
very few politicians do and
needed to be energized

385
00:16:56,915 --> 00:16:58,750
by the affirmation.

386
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:00,352
And it worked.

387
00:17:00,385 --> 00:17:01,420
>> And you know we're in...

388
00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:02,887
look at all those live
television feeds,

389
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:04,756
it's always tough, every time I
speak they put me

390
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:07,759
on live television, so I have
to make different speeches.

391
00:17:07,792 --> 00:17:09,027
These guys go around,

392
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:10,962
they make the same speech
hundreds and hundreds

393
00:17:10,995 --> 00:17:12,964
and hundreds of times,
nobody cares.

394
00:17:12,998 --> 00:17:14,499
It's true.

395
00:17:14,532 --> 00:17:17,068
>> He was looking out
at the camera bank.

396
00:17:17,102 --> 00:17:19,437
And he could see the red light
on the camera.

397
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:21,473
And that meant that he was live
on CNN.

398
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:23,375
>> You got CNN live, you've
got them all, and...

399
00:17:23,408 --> 00:17:25,577
>> Or Fox or one of the other
networks.

400
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:29,314
And he said that what he tried
to do in those rallies was say

401
00:17:29,347 --> 00:17:32,751
whatever it took to keep
the red light on.

402
00:17:32,784 --> 00:17:34,786
>> Now if you like the media,

403
00:17:34,819 --> 00:17:38,390
give them a big hand, and if you
don't, give them a big boo.

404
00:17:38,423 --> 00:17:40,525
(booing)

405
00:17:40,558 --> 00:17:42,828
>> NARRATOR: Rather than rely
primarily on polls...

406
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:45,631
>> I had a feeling...

407
00:17:45,664 --> 00:17:50,502
>> NARRATOR: Trump watched
to see how the crowd reacted.

408
00:17:50,535 --> 00:17:52,971
>> Early on, they were kind of
these rally speeches

409
00:17:53,004 --> 00:17:54,639
were a bit rambling and all over
the place.

410
00:17:54,672 --> 00:17:59,610
As he went on, he started
to really hone his message

411
00:17:59,644 --> 00:18:02,781
and he started to remember
what lines worked.

412
00:18:02,814 --> 00:18:06,051
>> We're going to have such
a strong military that nobody,

413
00:18:06,084 --> 00:18:08,086
nobody is going to mess with us.

414
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,589
>> NARRATOR: And what the crowds
wanted: Donald Trump.

415
00:18:10,622 --> 00:18:13,858
>> We are led
by very stupid people.

416
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:15,060
>> NARRATOR: Unfiltered...

417
00:18:15,093 --> 00:18:17,563
>> We are going to start winning
big league.

418
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:18,964
>> NARRATOR: Angry...

419
00:18:18,997 --> 00:18:20,131
>> We can't beat ISIS.

420
00:18:20,165 --> 00:18:21,766
Give me a break.

421
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:22,634
>> And it was every location.

422
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:24,369
It was the same messages:

423
00:18:24,402 --> 00:18:25,838
"We're tired of Washington lying
to us."

424
00:18:25,871 --> 00:18:28,239
>> We're going to drive the
cars over the illegals.

425
00:18:28,273 --> 00:18:29,908
Build a wall!

426
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,277
>> Build a wall!

427
00:18:32,311 --> 00:18:34,179
>> The American people
are angry,

428
00:18:34,212 --> 00:18:36,214
and they have a right to be.

429
00:18:36,247 --> 00:18:38,416
And what they see in Donald
Trump is someone who's willing

430
00:18:38,449 --> 00:18:39,951
to fight for them for a change.

431
00:18:39,984 --> 00:18:42,821
>> NARRATOR: He called them
"the forgotten"

432
00:18:42,854 --> 00:18:45,590
and spoke directly to their
fears and anger--

433
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:50,728
at Washington, at trade deals,
at immigration.

434
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:54,065
>> People in this country are
afraid of illegal immigrants.

435
00:18:54,098 --> 00:18:58,002
People in this country have
become afraid

436
00:18:58,036 --> 00:18:59,204
of random violence.

437
00:18:59,237 --> 00:19:01,539
They're afraid of jobs being
shipped overseas.

438
00:19:01,573 --> 00:19:03,909
There is so much that scares
Americans.

439
00:19:03,942 --> 00:19:06,711
And Donald Trump is the only
politician who talked

440
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:10,048
to those concerns
and those fears.

441
00:19:10,081 --> 00:19:13,651
To his critics
it's fear mongering,

442
00:19:13,685 --> 00:19:16,288
to his supporters
it's truth telling.

443
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:18,723
>> Donald Trump is the
projected winner

444
00:19:18,756 --> 00:19:20,258
of the New Hampshire primary.

445
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:21,727
>> He gains his front-runner
status in a crowded field.

446
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,628
>> He's pulling ahead

447
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,664
in virtually every
Super Tuesday state.

448
00:19:25,697 --> 00:19:27,766
>> NARRATOR: In one state
after another...

449
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,967
>> We love Nevada.

450
00:19:30,001 --> 00:19:31,836
We love Nevada, thank you.

451
00:19:31,870 --> 00:19:34,272
>> NARRATOR: ...Trump proved
that he could use his base

452
00:19:34,305 --> 00:19:37,876
of working class voters to win.

453
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:42,080
>> It's mostly white, they don't
like political correctness,

454
00:19:42,114 --> 00:19:46,852
they feel like they can't speak
their mind at home or at work,

455
00:19:46,885 --> 00:19:49,021
so they want something else.

456
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:52,623
Trump strolls in, he says
exactly what they want to hear.

457
00:19:52,657 --> 00:19:54,092
>> We are going to make...

458
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:56,561
>> This makes back-to-back
victories for...

459
00:19:56,595 --> 00:19:58,830
>> Donald Trump dominating
his third consecutive...

460
00:19:58,863 --> 00:20:00,365
>> Donald Trump is

461
00:20:00,398 --> 00:20:01,900
a professional political
wrecking ball...

462
00:20:01,933 --> 00:20:03,268
>> NARRATOR: Finally his
opponents had

463
00:20:03,301 --> 00:20:05,070
to take him seriously.

464
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:07,372
>> At that point the
establishment suddenly wakes up

465
00:20:07,405 --> 00:20:09,574
and says, "We've got to do
something.

466
00:20:09,607 --> 00:20:10,475
"We've got to go after him.

467
00:20:10,508 --> 00:20:12,377
We can't ignore him anymore."

468
00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:15,013
>> He's a race-baiting,
xenophobic, religious bigot.

469
00:20:15,046 --> 00:20:17,448
And you know how you make
America great again?

470
00:20:17,481 --> 00:20:19,351
Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.

471
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:22,387
>> The establishment feared him
for a lot of reasons.

472
00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:23,889
One, he was not of them.

473
00:20:23,922 --> 00:20:25,957
Two, he didn't play
by their rules.

474
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:28,160
And three, they genuinely
thought he was a threat,

475
00:20:28,193 --> 00:20:30,929
certainly to the Republican
Party, to conservatism,

476
00:20:30,962 --> 00:20:33,531
and if he got that far,
to the nation.

477
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,168
>> Guys, we have a con artist
as the frontrunner

478
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:37,369
in the Republican Party.

479
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:40,371
A guy who has made a career out
of telling people lies.

480
00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:42,073
>> He was a shock to the
Republican establishment

481
00:20:42,107 --> 00:20:44,108
and they did everything they
could, for the most part,

482
00:20:44,142 --> 00:20:46,511
to prevent him.

483
00:20:46,544 --> 00:20:48,847
>> Donald Trump is a phony,
a fraud.

484
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,481
His promises are as worthless

485
00:20:50,515 --> 00:20:52,183
as a degree from
Trump University.

486
00:20:52,216 --> 00:20:54,785
He's playing the members of the
American public for suckers.

487
00:20:54,819 --> 00:20:56,387
>> Every time the establishment
attacked Trump,

488
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:58,389
it played into the narrative
that they wanted

489
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:02,527
to put out there, which was that
he was so anti-establishment,

490
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,628
they were going to do anything

491
00:21:03,662 --> 00:21:06,264
that they could to take
him down.

492
00:21:06,297 --> 00:21:08,566
>> This man is a pathological
liar.

493
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:12,070
He lies practically every word
that comes out of his mouth.

494
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:15,340
>> Tonight,
live from the Peace Center

495
00:21:15,373 --> 00:21:16,407
in Greenville, South Carolina...

496
00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:19,177
>> NARRATOR: On the debate
stage, Trump hit back.

497
00:21:19,210 --> 00:21:20,812
>> You are the single
biggest liar,

498
00:21:20,845 --> 00:21:22,714
you probably are worse
than Jeb Bush.

499
00:21:22,747 --> 00:21:25,717
You are the single biggest liar.

500
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:28,219
>> One by one, each rival comes
at him.

501
00:21:28,253 --> 00:21:29,521
He throws them away.

502
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:30,588
>> This guy lies.

503
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:32,423
Two days ago he said he would
take his pants off

504
00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:34,692
and moon everybody.

505
00:21:34,725 --> 00:21:36,228
>> Tosses a barb in their
direction,

506
00:21:36,261 --> 00:21:38,363
diminishes them personally.

507
00:21:38,396 --> 00:21:39,998
>> And then he tells me,
"Oh, my language

508
00:21:40,031 --> 00:21:41,499
was a little bit rough."

509
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:44,002
>> Destroys their record.

510
00:21:44,035 --> 00:21:46,171
>> This little guy has lied
so much about my record.

511
00:21:46,204 --> 00:21:48,539
>> Donald Trump had the ability
to just grab the microphone,

512
00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:51,143
just trample over people.

513
00:21:51,176 --> 00:21:53,011
That was entertaining.

514
00:21:53,044 --> 00:21:55,680
It was different.

515
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:56,648
>> He hit my hands.

516
00:21:56,681 --> 00:21:57,649
Nobody has ever hit my hands.

517
00:21:57,682 --> 00:21:58,783
I've never heard of this...

518
00:21:58,817 --> 00:21:59,851
Look at those hands.

519
00:21:59,884 --> 00:22:01,920
Are they small hands?

520
00:22:01,953 --> 00:22:05,156
And he referred to my hands,
if they're small,

521
00:22:05,189 --> 00:22:08,026
something else must be small.

522
00:22:08,059 --> 00:22:09,961
I guarantee you
there's no problem.

523
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,530
I guarantee it.

524
00:22:11,563 --> 00:22:15,466
>> It was ruthless political
performance by Donald Trump.

525
00:22:15,499 --> 00:22:19,237
He had nothing to lose
and he owed nothing

526
00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:20,872
to the Republican Party.

527
00:22:20,905 --> 00:22:23,475
So instead of standing there as
a member of a party

528
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:26,845
trying to get the nomination,
he was there for Trump.

529
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:28,747
That changed everything.

530
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:30,648
>> Scott Walker is quitting
the presidential race...

531
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:32,216
>> NARRATOR: One by one...

532
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:34,318
>> Carly Fiorina and Chris
Christie have suspended

533
00:22:34,352 --> 00:22:35,520
their campaigns.

534
00:22:35,553 --> 00:22:37,755
>> NARRATOR: Trump's
competitors began to fall off.

535
00:22:37,789 --> 00:22:40,024
>> Neurosurgeon Ben Carson
dropping out of the 2016...

536
00:22:40,057 --> 00:22:42,126
>> NARRATOR: But on the campaign
trail, at some rallies,

537
00:22:42,159 --> 00:22:44,830
things were increasingly ugly.

538
00:22:50,335 --> 00:22:53,138
>> The anger only increased
as it got farther along.

539
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:04,216
>> It became completely
acceptable.

540
00:23:04,249 --> 00:23:06,418
It became okay to come to a
Trump rally and wear a shirt

541
00:23:06,451 --> 00:23:10,521
that says Hillary Clinton
is a C-(bleep)-(bleep)-T.

542
00:23:10,554 --> 00:23:11,756
>> Lock her up! Lock her up...

543
00:23:11,789 --> 00:23:13,325
>> NARRATOR: And there were
some in the crowds

544
00:23:13,358 --> 00:23:15,526
with a darker agenda.

545
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,030
>> The campaign is continually
dogged by a small

546
00:23:19,063 --> 00:23:22,266
and vocal number of white
supremacists,

547
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:26,204
Klansmen, neo-Nazis.

548
00:23:27,639 --> 00:23:30,375
>> Some would come in wearing
Confederate flags

549
00:23:30,408 --> 00:23:31,610
on their t-shirts.

550
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:33,845
>> This isn't a very large
group of people,

551
00:23:33,878 --> 00:23:35,446
but they are very vocal.

552
00:23:35,479 --> 00:23:38,183
And they attach themselves
to Trump.

553
00:23:38,216 --> 00:23:40,952
>> Trump, whenever there was
a moment to draw a line

554
00:23:40,985 --> 00:23:43,354
between himself and these
extreme parts

555
00:23:43,387 --> 00:23:45,756
of the voting bloc, he refused.

556
00:23:45,790 --> 00:23:48,627
I think without question, the
only way you can interpret that

557
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:52,230
is that he was going to use
these groups to try to build

558
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:54,165
this coalition.

559
00:23:54,198 --> 00:23:57,269
>> NARRATOR: It wasn't long
before anti-Trump protestors

560
00:23:57,302 --> 00:23:59,571
began to show up inside
the rallies.

561
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:00,805
>> There's a guy,

562
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,907
totally disruptive,
throwing punches.

563
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:03,975
I love the old days.

564
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:05,743
Do you know what they used
to do to guys like that

565
00:24:05,776 --> 00:24:07,345
when they were in a place
like this?

566
00:24:07,379 --> 00:24:09,648
They'd be carried out
on a stretcher, folks.

567
00:24:09,681 --> 00:24:11,783
I'd like to punch him
in the face, I'll tell you.

568
00:24:13,151 --> 00:24:15,954
>> You start seeing these
really ugly moments

569
00:24:15,987 --> 00:24:19,790
at the rallies, um,
with protesters,

570
00:24:19,824 --> 00:24:21,893
some of whom are nonwhite
protestors, getting treated

571
00:24:21,926 --> 00:24:25,897
very violently by his
supporters.

572
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:31,303
Trump himself seemed to incite
his supporters

573
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:32,837
to go after protestors.

574
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:34,973
>> Knock the crap out of him,
would you?

575
00:24:35,006 --> 00:24:36,207
Just knock the hell...

576
00:24:36,241 --> 00:24:38,142
I promise you I will pay for
the legal fees, I promise.

577
00:24:38,176 --> 00:24:39,244
I promise.

578
00:24:39,277 --> 00:24:41,746
>> NARRATOR: Trump didn't just
turn on protestors,

579
00:24:41,779 --> 00:24:43,915
he also directed the anger
at the media.

580
00:24:43,948 --> 00:24:46,851
>> Absolute dishonest,
absolute scum.

581
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:47,852
Remember that.

582
00:24:47,885 --> 00:24:49,955
Scum. Scum.

583
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:52,490
>> NARRATOR: NBC's Katy Tur
became a frequent target

584
00:24:52,524 --> 00:24:53,424
after one of her reports.

585
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:55,293
>> She's back there.

586
00:24:55,326 --> 00:24:56,561
Little Katy.

587
00:24:56,594 --> 00:24:57,795
She's back there.

588
00:24:57,828 --> 00:25:00,164
>> He calls me out at the rally,

589
00:25:00,198 --> 00:25:02,367
"Look back there, little Katy,
she's back there."

590
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,568
And I was like, "What?"

591
00:25:03,601 --> 00:25:05,336
>> What a lie it was.

592
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:07,338
(crowd booing)

593
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:10,675
No, what a lie, Katie Tur.

594
00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:13,678
What a lie it was from NBC
to have written that.

595
00:25:13,712 --> 00:25:15,246
It was a total lie.

596
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:18,183
>> We are surrounded on all
sides with people

597
00:25:18,216 --> 00:25:21,018
who are fired up and angry.

598
00:25:21,052 --> 00:25:23,354
>> Third-rate reporter,
remember that, third rate.

599
00:25:23,387 --> 00:25:25,557
Third rate.

600
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:27,759
>> And they're whipped up
by Donald Trump.

601
00:25:27,792 --> 00:25:30,628
I described it as like, you
know, an unchained beast

602
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:31,930
roaring at you in a crowd.

603
00:25:31,963 --> 00:25:34,565
And the whole... the whole place
turns at me, looks at me,

604
00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:36,167
and boos.

605
00:25:41,539 --> 00:25:45,376
(cheers)

606
00:25:45,409 --> 00:25:47,445
>> NARRATOR: By July,
Donald Trump headed

607
00:25:47,479 --> 00:25:50,948
to the G.O.P. convention
after soundly defeating

608
00:25:50,981 --> 00:25:53,051
the establishment candidates.

609
00:25:53,084 --> 00:25:55,887
>> Let's face it, he was larger
than the Republican Party.

610
00:25:55,921 --> 00:25:58,890
In fact, his nomination was
the hostile takeover

611
00:25:58,923 --> 00:26:00,925
of the Republican Party.

612
00:26:00,958 --> 00:26:03,795
In this case the Republican
Party is just a vehicle to get

613
00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:05,162
his name on the ballot.

614
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:08,600
But his reach was always
greater

615
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:10,135
than the Republican Party's
reach.

616
00:26:11,302 --> 00:26:13,204
>> NARRATOR: He had won
the nomination

617
00:26:13,237 --> 00:26:15,373
of a divided Republican Party.

618
00:26:15,406 --> 00:26:19,310
Now he would see if he could
apply the same strategy

619
00:26:19,344 --> 00:26:22,279
to winning the presidency
of a divided country.

620
00:26:22,313 --> 00:26:26,884
>> Our convention occurs at a
moment of crisis for our nation.

621
00:26:26,917 --> 00:26:32,523
The attacks on our police and
the terrorism of our cities

622
00:26:32,556 --> 00:26:36,427
threaten our very way of life.

623
00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:40,698
>> But I think the essential
message there was, you have been

624
00:26:40,731 --> 00:26:43,401
neglected and abused
by the powers that be,

625
00:26:43,434 --> 00:26:45,003
whether they are politicians

626
00:26:45,036 --> 00:26:47,805
or the media or academia,
or Hollywood.

627
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:50,675
All of those folks are
conspiring against you,

628
00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:53,078
the good, right-thinking
middle Americans.

629
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:56,181
>> I have joined
the political arena

630
00:26:56,214 --> 00:26:59,850
so that the powerful can
no longer beat up on people

631
00:26:59,883 --> 00:27:02,754
who cannot defend themselves.

632
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:06,224
(cheers and applause)

633
00:27:11,896 --> 00:27:14,733
Nobody knows the system
better than me.

634
00:27:16,934 --> 00:27:18,603
(laughter and applause)

635
00:27:24,708 --> 00:27:28,947
Which is why I alone can fix it.

636
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:31,115
>> He just said, "Me.

637
00:27:31,148 --> 00:27:33,952
"I'm the only person that can
do this.

638
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,620
You have to support me."

639
00:27:35,653 --> 00:27:37,822
That's the language
of a strongman.

640
00:27:37,855 --> 00:27:41,392
That's the language that you
hear in autocratic societies.

641
00:27:41,426 --> 00:27:43,595
(cheering)

642
00:27:45,897 --> 00:27:48,399
>> I had at least five reporters
approach me and say,

643
00:27:48,433 --> 00:27:52,036
"Didn't you think Trump's speech
was too dark?"

644
00:27:52,069 --> 00:27:55,039
And I told them all,
"No, I think the country

645
00:27:55,073 --> 00:27:56,040
"is in deep trouble.

646
00:27:56,074 --> 00:27:58,209
"We're in very dire times.

647
00:27:58,242 --> 00:28:01,212
"And to pussyfoot around that
and claim things are great

648
00:28:01,246 --> 00:28:02,179
"is a mistake.

649
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:04,249
And we need a strongman."

650
00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:09,420
>> Hillary!

651
00:28:09,453 --> 00:28:11,956
Hillary! Hillary!

652
00:28:11,989 --> 00:28:13,257
>> And so, my friends...

653
00:28:13,291 --> 00:28:15,493
>> NARRATOR: Just one week
later,

654
00:28:15,526 --> 00:28:17,896
at the Democratic Convention,
Hillary Clinton accepted

655
00:28:17,929 --> 00:28:19,764
her party's nomination.

656
00:28:19,797 --> 00:28:22,333
>> That I accept your nomination

657
00:28:22,366 --> 00:28:26,637
for president
of the United States!

658
00:28:26,670 --> 00:28:27,906
>> NARRATOR: Clinton's strategy

659
00:28:27,939 --> 00:28:32,977
was to draw on Obama's legacy
and bet big on diversity.

660
00:28:33,010 --> 00:28:34,912
>> This is a time of change
for America and it's a time

661
00:28:34,945 --> 00:28:36,480
to take stock and reaffirm
the values

662
00:28:36,514 --> 00:28:37,548
that we hold as Americans.

663
00:28:37,581 --> 00:28:42,987
And that meant embracing
the diversity.

664
00:28:43,020 --> 00:28:44,856
>> Please welcome Khizr Khan.

665
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:46,691
>> NARRATOR: One moment turned
out to be the centerpiece

666
00:28:46,724 --> 00:28:47,792
of their efforts--

667
00:28:47,825 --> 00:28:51,295
a speech by the father
of a Muslim American soldier

668
00:28:51,328 --> 00:28:54,399
killed in combat.

669
00:28:54,432 --> 00:28:58,603
>> If it was up to Donald
Trump, he never would have been

670
00:28:58,636 --> 00:29:00,471
in America.

671
00:29:00,504 --> 00:29:05,143
Donald Trump consistently
smears the character

672
00:29:05,176 --> 00:29:07,311
of Muslims.

673
00:29:07,344 --> 00:29:10,948
He disrespects other minorities,

674
00:29:10,981 --> 00:29:19,490
women, judges, even his own
party leadership.

675
00:29:19,523 --> 00:29:22,059
>> I don't think anybody or very
few people who were planning

676
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:24,195
the convention thought simply
that moment alone

677
00:29:24,228 --> 00:29:26,497
would be as powerful as it was.

678
00:29:26,531 --> 00:29:29,500
>> Donald Trump:
Have you even read

679
00:29:29,533 --> 00:29:31,936
the United States Constitution?

680
00:29:31,969 --> 00:29:36,240
(cheers and applause)

681
00:29:36,273 --> 00:29:44,482
I will... I will gladly lend you
my copy.

682
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:47,819
>> NARRATOR: As he watched
Khan's speech, Trump saw

683
00:29:47,852 --> 00:29:50,488
an opportunity to go
on the attack.

684
00:29:50,521 --> 00:29:52,623
>> I was viciously attacked
by Mr. Khan

685
00:29:52,656 --> 00:29:54,258
at the Democratic Convention.

686
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:57,094
>> And his advisors thought
this was not a good idea.

687
00:29:57,128 --> 00:29:58,396
He shouldn't have done it.

688
00:29:58,429 --> 00:30:00,531
But Donald Trump
just can't help himself.

689
00:30:00,564 --> 00:30:03,267
>> Mr. Khan, who does not know
me, viciously attacked me

690
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,302
from the stage of the D.N.C.

691
00:30:05,336 --> 00:30:08,039
and is now all over TV doing
the same.

692
00:30:08,072 --> 00:30:09,440
Nice!

693
00:30:09,473 --> 00:30:13,410
>> The Khan episode illustrates
Donald's major flaw,

694
00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:20,184
is he can't let something go
and he can't notice

695
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:23,488
that he's losing a fight
until he's really lost it.

696
00:30:24,822 --> 00:30:26,090
>> Now on "This Week"...

697
00:30:26,123 --> 00:30:27,425
>> He went after Khan's wife,
Gazal.

698
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:29,193
>> If you look at his wife,
she was standing there.

699
00:30:29,226 --> 00:30:30,561
She had nothing to say.

700
00:30:30,595 --> 00:30:32,897
She probably... maybe she wasn't
allowed to have anything to say.

701
00:30:32,930 --> 00:30:34,999
You tell me, but plenty of
people have written that.

702
00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:37,935
>> Amid mounting backlash
over Trump's comments,

703
00:30:37,969 --> 00:30:39,637
his campaign went into damage
control mode.

704
00:30:39,670 --> 00:30:41,438
>> NARRATOR: Veterans groups
were outraged.

705
00:30:41,472 --> 00:30:42,807
>> At least two new polls show
Hillary Clinton

706
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,141
with a widening lead over Trump.

707
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:45,543
>> NARRATOR: As Trump's poll
numbers collapsed...

708
00:30:45,576 --> 00:30:47,978
>> Republicans in particular
have been quick to respond...

709
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:50,615
>> NARRATOR: Republican leaders
further distanced themselves.

710
00:30:50,648 --> 00:30:51,882
>> Republican Senator John
McCain offered

711
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:52,883
a scathing rebuke...

712
00:30:52,917 --> 00:30:54,418
>> And his advisors are
horrified.

713
00:30:54,452 --> 00:30:57,354
I mean, this is like... this is
political suicide.

714
00:30:57,388 --> 00:30:59,657
And, um, they say to Trump,
you know,

715
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:01,258
"You know you just attacked
a Gold Star family."

716
00:31:01,292 --> 00:31:02,526
And he said,
"Well, what's that?"

717
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,130
Trump just sees it as a personal
attack and it's within his right

718
00:31:06,163 --> 00:31:07,765
to go on the counterattack.

719
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:08,900
>> Trump's ongoing battle

720
00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:11,235
with the family of U.S. Army
Captain Humayun Khan...

721
00:31:11,268 --> 00:31:13,237
>> NARRATOR: Virtually all the
professionals expected Trump

722
00:31:13,271 --> 00:31:16,673
to change his tactics,
to pivot.

723
00:31:16,707 --> 00:31:18,809
>> Everybody always wanted
to mold Mr. Trump

724
00:31:18,842 --> 00:31:21,712
into their own image of what a
candidate should look like,

725
00:31:21,746 --> 00:31:23,648
what a president should
look like.

726
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:25,449
And if there's one thing that
wasn't going to change

727
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:27,785
about Mr. Trump was that he was
going to stay true to himself,

728
00:31:27,818 --> 00:31:29,920
you know,
whatever that means, and that...

729
00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:33,524
that if he was going to win this
campaign, he was going to do it

730
00:31:33,557 --> 00:31:34,626
on his own terms.

731
00:31:34,659 --> 00:31:37,128
>> NARRATOR: With barely 80 days
before the election,

732
00:31:37,161 --> 00:31:41,298
Trump shook up his campaign and
brought in Steve Bannon,

733
00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:45,303
the chairman of the right-wing
website Breitbart.

734
00:31:45,336 --> 00:31:47,571
>> Bannon is a bomb thrower.

735
00:31:47,605 --> 00:31:51,175
Bannon joins the campaign
because Bannon has

736
00:31:51,208 --> 00:31:54,345
a superior knowledge of
alternative media

737
00:31:54,378 --> 00:31:56,781
combined with the fact that he
is kind of a swashbuckler

738
00:31:56,814 --> 00:32:01,552
and a revolutionary, a guy who
can think outside the box.

739
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:04,254
>> NARRATOR: It was a sign Trump
was doubling down.

740
00:32:04,288 --> 00:32:06,524
>> Steve Bannon has made
very clear

741
00:32:06,557 --> 00:32:09,093
all through his recent career,
his goal is to blow up

742
00:32:09,126 --> 00:32:10,227
the establishment.

743
00:32:10,261 --> 00:32:12,463
It's to take down the government
as we know it.

744
00:32:12,496 --> 00:32:15,566
It's to destroy the Republican
Party as it was constituted.

745
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:18,869
I mean, he is a disrupter in,
you know,

746
00:32:18,903 --> 00:32:20,538
in almost every way.

747
00:32:20,571 --> 00:32:22,706
>> NARRATOR: As his new
campaign manager,

748
00:32:22,739 --> 00:32:27,712
another unconventional pick:
a pollster, Kellyanne Conway,

749
00:32:27,745 --> 00:32:29,847
who had bad news for Trump.

750
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:34,886
>> On that day, I told him,
I said, "What's going on?

751
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,755
"Because you're running against
the most joyless candidate

752
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:39,389
"in presidential political
history

753
00:32:39,423 --> 00:32:41,592
and this place is starting
to seem like it."

754
00:32:41,625 --> 00:32:42,727
And he said, "No."

755
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,829
And I said,
"I've looked at the polls."

756
00:32:44,862 --> 00:32:45,997
He said, "the polls."

757
00:32:46,030 --> 00:32:47,331
And I said, "I've looked at the
polls and we're losing.

758
00:32:47,365 --> 00:32:49,566
But we don't need to lose,
you should be winning."

759
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,802
>> Trump is hoping to finally
put that controversy behind him.

760
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:54,138
>> NARRATOR: They faced a
formidable challenge.

761
00:32:54,171 --> 00:32:56,307
>> NARRATOR: The first
presidential debate.

762
00:32:56,340 --> 00:32:59,644
>> As Trump and Clinton get
ready to go head to head...

763
00:32:59,677 --> 00:33:02,747
>> What will likely be the most
watched political showdown

764
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:03,847
in American history...

765
00:33:03,881 --> 00:33:05,483
>> NARRATOR: As he had
throughout his campaign,

766
00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:09,486
Trump was willing to gamble--
he'd rely on his instincts,

767
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,355
not preparation.

768
00:33:11,388 --> 00:33:13,524
>> There's actually a point
of pride

769
00:33:13,557 --> 00:33:15,259
that he doesn't have to prepare.

770
00:33:15,292 --> 00:33:19,296
He values raw ability
over study.

771
00:33:19,329 --> 00:33:22,500
So he wanted to prove that he
was right about that.

772
00:33:22,533 --> 00:33:24,534
>> NARRATOR: Trump
mocked Clinton for spending

773
00:33:24,568 --> 00:33:26,837
so much of her time preparing
for the debate.

774
00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:30,942
>> You know, you've seen me,
I've been all over the place.

775
00:33:30,975 --> 00:33:33,444
You decided to stay home,
and that's okay.

776
00:33:33,477 --> 00:33:35,979
>> Arguably he was the worst
prepared candidate

777
00:33:36,013 --> 00:33:38,583
in the history of American
politics

778
00:33:38,616 --> 00:33:40,618
when he stepped up against
Hillary Clinton

779
00:33:40,651 --> 00:33:42,253
for that first debate,
and it showed.

780
00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:45,889
>> I think Donald just
criticized me

781
00:33:45,922 --> 00:33:47,558
for preparing for this debate.

782
00:33:47,592 --> 00:33:49,894
And, yes, I did.

783
00:33:49,927 --> 00:33:52,196
And you know what else
I prepared for?

784
00:33:52,229 --> 00:33:53,430
I prepared to be president.

785
00:33:53,463 --> 00:33:55,266
And I think that's a good thing.

786
00:33:55,299 --> 00:33:56,868
>> She knew how to get
under his skin.

787
00:33:56,901 --> 00:33:58,068
She had been practicing.

788
00:33:58,102 --> 00:33:59,937
She had been studying him.

789
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:02,607
>> Donald thinks that climate
change is a hoax

790
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,874
perpetrated by the Chinese.

791
00:34:03,907 --> 00:34:05,042
I think it's real.

792
00:34:05,075 --> 00:34:06,143
I think science is real.

793
00:34:06,176 --> 00:34:08,945
>> I do not... I did not...
I do not say that.

794
00:34:08,979 --> 00:34:11,482
>> Her team knew
what were his...

795
00:34:11,515 --> 00:34:12,750
knew what his buttons were.

796
00:34:12,783 --> 00:34:15,352
And she just started unleashing
them one after the other.

797
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:17,088
>> You call yourself
the King of Debt.

798
00:34:17,121 --> 00:34:18,956
You talk about leverage.

799
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:22,527
You even at one time suggested
that you would try

800
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,894
to negotiate down the...

801
00:34:23,928 --> 00:34:24,862
>> Wrong.

802
00:34:24,895 --> 00:34:26,997
>> ...national debt
of the United States.

803
00:34:27,031 --> 00:34:28,065
>> Wrong.

804
00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:30,268
>> And he lost... he lost
control of the debate.

805
00:34:30,301 --> 00:34:31,736
>> Let me say this...

806
00:34:31,769 --> 00:34:34,772
>> There's nothing crazy about
not letting our companies

807
00:34:34,805 --> 00:34:36,940
bring their money back into
their country.

808
00:34:36,974 --> 00:34:38,542
>> This is... this is Secretary
Clinton's two minutes, please.

809
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:39,810
>> I have a feeling that
by the end of this evening

810
00:34:39,843 --> 00:34:42,847
I'm going to be blamed for
everything that's ever happened.

811
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:43,881
>> Why not?

812
00:34:43,914 --> 00:34:45,583
>> Why not, yeah.

813
00:34:45,616 --> 00:34:47,184
Why not?

814
00:34:47,218 --> 00:34:49,954
>> Hillary Clinton was
very artful in getting

815
00:34:49,987 --> 00:34:51,655
under Mr. Trump's skin

816
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:54,325
and bringing up the issues

817
00:34:54,358 --> 00:34:58,195
that were like putting,
you know, gasoline on a fire.

818
00:34:58,228 --> 00:35:03,233
>> One of the worst things he
said was about a woman

819
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:04,802
in a beauty contest.

820
00:35:04,835 --> 00:35:09,439
And, he called this woman
"Miss Piggy."

821
00:35:09,473 --> 00:35:12,043
Then he called her
"Miss Housekeeping,"

822
00:35:12,076 --> 00:35:13,945
because she was Latina.

823
00:35:13,978 --> 00:35:15,279
Donald, she has a name.

824
00:35:15,312 --> 00:35:16,380
>> Where did you find this?

825
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:17,448
Where did you find this?

826
00:35:17,481 --> 00:35:18,715
Where did you find it?

827
00:35:18,749 --> 00:35:20,151
>> Her name is Alicia Machado
and she has become

828
00:35:20,184 --> 00:35:22,453
a U.S. citizen and you can bet
she's going to vote

829
00:35:22,487 --> 00:35:23,320
this November.

830
00:35:23,354 --> 00:35:24,388
>> Oh really?

831
00:35:24,421 --> 00:35:25,389
Okay, okay, good.

832
00:35:25,422 --> 00:35:28,592
>> NARRATOR: Trump would insist
he had won.

833
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:29,760
>> ...our debate
for this evening.

834
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,529
>> He was crushed
in the first debate.

835
00:35:31,562 --> 00:35:34,398
I don't care whatever
pronouncements he wants to make.

836
00:35:34,431 --> 00:35:37,835
He was crushed
by every possible...

837
00:35:37,868 --> 00:35:40,538
Our focus group thought
he was awful.

838
00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:43,674
>> ...down in Palm Beach.

839
00:35:43,707 --> 00:35:44,675
I moved on her and I failed.

840
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:46,277
I'll admit it.

841
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,348
>> NARRATOR: It would get
even worse for Trump.

842
00:35:55,485 --> 00:35:57,521
>> NARRATOR: Just two days
before the second debate,

843
00:35:57,555 --> 00:36:01,192
an un-aired video from the TV
show<i> Access Hollywood.</i>

844
00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:08,398
>> There was one account after
another about Donald Trump

845
00:36:08,432 --> 00:36:12,836
attacking women, groping women,
saying nasty things about women.

846
00:36:12,869 --> 00:36:16,274
But the moment that counts is
the moment this is on video.

847
00:36:24,548 --> 00:36:26,784
>> Here's a guy who's making
crude, disgusting jokes

848
00:36:26,817 --> 00:36:28,719
and the father in you,

849
00:36:28,752 --> 00:36:32,690
the brother in you comes out,
and the husband in you.

850
00:36:32,723 --> 00:36:34,024
And you can't defend it.

851
00:36:34,058 --> 00:36:37,561
>> The Trump camp has swiftly
launched into disaster mode...

852
00:36:37,594 --> 00:36:40,564
>> A big, big development in
this campaign as it comes to...

853
00:36:40,598 --> 00:36:41,699
>> Right after that tape
came out,

854
00:36:41,732 --> 00:36:45,235
suddenly everybody on the Trump
team went radio silent.

855
00:36:45,269 --> 00:36:46,503
Everyone.

856
00:36:46,537 --> 00:36:48,539
>> This was the October
surprise.

857
00:36:48,572 --> 00:36:50,374
Had the ability to take down
a campaign.

858
00:36:50,407 --> 00:36:53,310
And the internal discussion
amongst the campaign, some were,

859
00:36:53,343 --> 00:36:56,113
"You need to apologize
immediately,"

860
00:36:56,146 --> 00:36:58,816
and some were
"You need to double down."

861
00:36:58,849 --> 00:37:03,020
>> Donald Trump's campaign,
its worst crisis ever.

862
00:37:03,053 --> 00:37:05,489
>> We keep being told,
"He is going to come on TV.

863
00:37:05,522 --> 00:37:06,423
"He is going to say something.

864
00:37:06,457 --> 00:37:07,658
He is going to apologize."

865
00:37:07,691 --> 00:37:09,393
And it gets delayed and delayed.

866
00:37:09,427 --> 00:37:12,696
And finally he comes out there
and it's an apology of sorts.

867
00:37:12,729 --> 00:37:14,732
>> I've never said I'm a perfect
person, nor pretended

868
00:37:14,765 --> 00:37:16,967
to be someone that I'm not.

869
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,103
I've said and done things
I regret,

870
00:37:19,136 --> 00:37:20,504
and the words released today

871
00:37:20,537 --> 00:37:23,574
on this
more than a decade-old video

872
00:37:23,608 --> 00:37:24,574
are one of them.

873
00:37:24,608 --> 00:37:27,010
>> And so he went on Facebook
later that night

874
00:37:27,044 --> 00:37:31,281
and gave what was, by Trump's
standards, a contrite apology.

875
00:37:31,314 --> 00:37:33,083
But then he went on the attack.

876
00:37:33,116 --> 00:37:35,619
>> Bill Clinton has actually
abused women,

877
00:37:35,652 --> 00:37:38,489
and Hillary has bullied,
attacked, shamed

878
00:37:38,522 --> 00:37:40,691
and intimidated his victims.

879
00:37:40,724 --> 00:37:41,992
>> I think Trump being Trump,

880
00:37:42,026 --> 00:37:43,828
his only instinct in those
moments when his back

881
00:37:43,861 --> 00:37:47,231
is against the wall is to just
go on the counter-attack.

882
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:49,734
>> We will discuss this more
in the coming days.

883
00:37:49,767 --> 00:37:52,202
See you at the debate
on Saturday.

884
00:37:52,235 --> 00:37:54,104
>> I think with the exception
of maybe one or two people,

885
00:37:54,137 --> 00:37:55,673
everyone thought
that that was the end.

886
00:37:55,706 --> 00:37:56,907
How do you survive this?

887
00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:58,342
How do you survive
this?

888
00:37:58,375 --> 00:38:01,412
As a Republican, how do you
survive advocating or saying

889
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:05,082
you're allowed to grab women
in their private parts

890
00:38:05,115 --> 00:38:06,717
because you're a star?

891
00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:09,953
That is just not something
that anybody can survive.

892
00:38:09,986 --> 00:38:11,522
>> I think the question now is,

893
00:38:11,555 --> 00:38:14,759
how do Republicans down the
ballot break away from him?

894
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:17,294
>> NARRATOR: The next day
he appeared outside Trump Tower.

895
00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:22,700
To many it seemed like
his candidacy was over.

896
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:25,102
>> I called Trump the day
after<i> Access Hollywood.</i>

897
00:38:25,135 --> 00:38:29,907
And I ask him point blank, "Are
you going to quit the race?"

898
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:32,343
That's what was
on everyone's minds.

899
00:38:32,376 --> 00:38:35,913
And he says,
"Costa, I've lived life.

900
00:38:35,946 --> 00:38:37,548
"I've seen so much in my life,

901
00:38:37,581 --> 00:38:41,084
"business, personal,
this is nothing.

902
00:38:41,117 --> 00:38:43,153
"I've survived everything else.

903
00:38:43,186 --> 00:38:44,688
I'm going to survive this."

904
00:38:44,721 --> 00:38:46,857
And I kept asking him, "Are you
going to quit the race?"

905
00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:49,226
"There's no chance I quit,"
he said.

906
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:50,594
"Not one chance.

907
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:52,529
I am in this to the end."

908
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:55,433
(cheering)

909
00:38:58,436 --> 00:39:01,906
>> NARRATOR: Donald Trump,
undaunted, then headed

910
00:39:01,939 --> 00:39:04,508
to the second
presidential debate.

911
00:39:04,541 --> 00:39:06,710
>> He showed up, and he was
impervious to the naysayers

912
00:39:06,743 --> 00:39:08,979
and critics who were all trying
to push him out of the race.

913
00:39:10,214 --> 00:39:12,583
>> NARRATOR: Trump had
a surprise of his own

914
00:39:12,616 --> 00:39:14,752
just before the debate was
to begin.

915
00:39:14,785 --> 00:39:17,421
>> Next thing I know-- and no
one in the press knew

916
00:39:17,455 --> 00:39:19,890
this was happening-- there was
a press conference

917
00:39:19,923 --> 00:39:22,092
with all Bill Clinton's accusers
right before the debate.

918
00:39:22,126 --> 00:39:27,698
>> These four very courageous
women have asked to be here...

919
00:39:27,731 --> 00:39:31,601
>> NARRATOR: Trump had invited
four women to the debate,

920
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:35,739
women who had accused Bill and
Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing.

921
00:39:35,772 --> 00:39:38,008
Charges the Clinton's
had denied.

922
00:39:38,041 --> 00:39:39,843
>> There was widespread shock.

923
00:39:39,877 --> 00:39:41,212
Nobody had it beforehand.

924
00:39:41,245 --> 00:39:43,514
>> The genius part of Donald
Trump was he didn't announce

925
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:46,417
these women were coming.

926
00:39:46,450 --> 00:39:49,353
He just had them
at a table and said,

927
00:39:49,386 --> 00:39:51,721
"The media's welcome to come in
right before the debate."

928
00:39:51,755 --> 00:39:53,223
And the media was stunned.

929
00:39:53,257 --> 00:39:55,058
Because the media couldn't
fathom

930
00:39:55,092 --> 00:39:56,626
doing something like this.

931
00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:59,130
>> NARRATOR: Standing
in the back of the room,

932
00:39:59,163 --> 00:40:02,566
the man who had orchestrated
the event: Steve Bannon.

933
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:05,869
>> Mr. Trump may have said some
bad words,

934
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:13,010
but Bill Clinton raped me and
Hillary Clinton threatened me.

935
00:40:13,043 --> 00:40:15,579
I don't think there's
any comparison.

936
00:40:15,612 --> 00:40:20,451
>> It was to show America that
he believed certain things

937
00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:24,021
about the Clintons that many
Americans also believe.

938
00:40:24,054 --> 00:40:26,089
And that he was going
to stand up for them

939
00:40:26,123 --> 00:40:28,492
against the Clintons

940
00:40:28,526 --> 00:40:34,431
in a way that was so tough
and really so ruthless

941
00:40:34,465 --> 00:40:38,201
that it gave some satisfaction
to people who hate the Clintons.

942
00:40:38,235 --> 00:40:40,204
>> Okay.
Thank you all very much.

943
00:40:40,237 --> 00:40:41,138
We appreciate it.

944
00:40:54,852 --> 00:40:57,554
>> By bringing the accusers to
the debate, he put that issue

945
00:40:57,587 --> 00:41:00,490
front and center and forced
voters out there to remember,

946
00:41:00,523 --> 00:41:03,560
in a sense, what it is that
they didn't like

947
00:41:03,593 --> 00:41:05,628
about Hillary Clinton.

948
00:41:05,662 --> 00:41:07,431
(applause)

949
00:41:07,464 --> 00:41:10,033
>> NARRATOR: This time on the
debate stage, Trump stayed

950
00:41:10,066 --> 00:41:11,569
on the offensive.

951
00:41:11,602 --> 00:41:14,071
>> We have a divided nation,
because people like her.

952
00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:17,441
And believe me, she has
tremendous hate in her heart.

953
00:41:17,474 --> 00:41:21,378
She's got tremendous hatred
and this country cannot take

954
00:41:21,412 --> 00:41:23,681
another four years
of Barack Obama

955
00:41:23,714 --> 00:41:25,115
and that's what you're getting
with her.

956
00:41:25,148 --> 00:41:26,483
>> I don't think there was any
moment in the campaign

957
00:41:26,517 --> 00:41:29,753
in which there was a more
divergent interpretation

958
00:41:29,786 --> 00:41:32,422
among political professionals
and members

959
00:41:32,456 --> 00:41:35,392
of Trump's vast and growing army
of supporters.

960
00:41:35,425 --> 00:41:37,361
>> When you talk about apology,

961
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:40,830
I think the one that you should
really be apologizing for

962
00:41:40,864 --> 00:41:43,167
and the thing that you should be
apologizing for

963
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,003
are the 33,000 emails
that you deleted,

964
00:41:47,037 --> 00:41:49,339
and that you acid washed.

965
00:41:49,372 --> 00:41:53,143
>> Hillary Clinton, who is
clearly much more measured

966
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:54,778
and programmed than Trump.

967
00:41:54,811 --> 00:41:58,515
On the other hand, he's so much
more of a live wire,

968
00:41:58,549 --> 00:42:02,152
that by contrast she seems
overly programmed.

969
00:42:02,185 --> 00:42:03,120
>> Allow her to respond, please.

970
00:42:03,153 --> 00:42:05,255
>> Personal emails,
not official.

971
00:42:05,289 --> 00:42:06,290
>> 33,000?

972
00:42:06,323 --> 00:42:09,093
>> Well, we turned over 35,000,
so...

973
00:42:09,126 --> 00:42:11,094
>> Oh yeah, what about
the other 15,000?

974
00:42:11,127 --> 00:42:11,995
>> Please allow her to respond,

975
00:42:12,029 --> 00:42:14,197
she didn't talk while you
talked.

976
00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:16,032
>> Yes, that's true, I didn't.

977
00:42:16,066 --> 00:42:17,801
>> Because you had nothing
to say.

978
00:42:17,834 --> 00:42:19,136
>> I didn't in the first debate
and I'm going to try not...

979
00:42:19,169 --> 00:42:21,271
>> He's mocked for this during
and after the debate,

980
00:42:21,304 --> 00:42:24,074
kind of stalking around that
debate, kind of stalking her.

981
00:42:24,107 --> 00:42:26,710
He's, you know, ridiculed for
suggesting that he's going

982
00:42:26,744 --> 00:42:28,178
to put her in jail.

983
00:42:28,211 --> 00:42:32,216
>> If I win, I am going to 
instruct my attorney general

984
00:42:32,249 --> 00:42:36,553
to get a special prosecutor
to look into your situation,

985
00:42:36,587 --> 00:42:41,124
because there has never been so
many lies, so much deception,

986
00:42:41,157 --> 00:42:43,260
there has never been anything
like it.

987
00:42:43,293 --> 00:42:45,061
>> When he looked her straight
in the eye and said that,

988
00:42:45,095 --> 00:42:49,633
"There should be a commission to
study the crimes you've done."

989
00:42:49,667 --> 00:42:53,704
And to my surprise my focus
group said, "Absolutely."

990
00:42:53,737 --> 00:42:56,440
Even those who supported Hillary
Clinton want to see

991
00:42:56,473 --> 00:42:58,141
these candidates held
accountable.

992
00:42:58,174 --> 00:42:59,909
>> We have to move on, Secretary
Clinton you can respond,

993
00:42:59,943 --> 00:43:01,077
but we've got to move on.

994
00:43:01,111 --> 00:43:03,113
>> We want to give the audience
a chance here.

995
00:43:03,146 --> 00:43:05,782
>> So, for what the media saw

996
00:43:05,816 --> 00:43:10,888
as Third World dictatorial
politics, our voters saw

997
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:14,691
as one candidate holding the
other candidate accountable.

998
00:43:14,724 --> 00:43:17,561
>> It's just awfully good that
someone with the temperament

999
00:43:17,594 --> 00:43:21,598
of Donald Trump is not in charge
of the law in our country.

1000
00:43:21,631 --> 00:43:23,366
>> Because you'd be in jail.

1001
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,706
(applause)

1002
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:31,842
>> We want to remind the
audience to please not talk

1003
00:43:31,875 --> 00:43:34,911
out loud, please do not applaud,
you're just wasting time.

1004
00:43:34,944 --> 00:43:36,380
>> When I speak, I go out
and speak,

1005
00:43:36,413 --> 00:43:38,915
the people of this country
are furious...

1006
00:43:38,948 --> 00:43:41,251
>> He was speaking the language
of the American people.

1007
00:43:41,285 --> 00:43:43,420
That he was holding
Hillary Clinton accountable.

1008
00:43:43,454 --> 00:43:45,856
You wouldn't know that if you
lived in New York

1009
00:43:45,889 --> 00:43:47,991
or Los Angeles, but you would
know that

1010
00:43:48,025 --> 00:43:53,964
if you were doing focus groups
in Columbus, Ohio,

1011
00:43:53,997 --> 00:43:58,535
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
or in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

1012
00:43:59,603 --> 00:44:04,041
>> NARRATOR: Back out
on the campaign trail

1013
00:44:04,074 --> 00:44:07,210
Trump's anti-establishment
message continued to resonate.

1014
00:44:07,244 --> 00:44:12,315
>> And we are going to drain
the swamp.

1015
00:44:12,348 --> 00:44:17,154
We're going to drain the swamp.

1016
00:44:17,187 --> 00:44:19,556
We're going to drain the swamp,
folks.

1017
00:44:19,590 --> 00:44:22,126
>> That was how Donald Trump
started out the campaign.

1018
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,294
>> We're going to drain
that swamp.

1019
00:44:24,327 --> 00:44:25,662
>> By saying things that were
anathema

1020
00:44:25,696 --> 00:44:29,332
to the establishment,
but that had resonance

1021
00:44:29,365 --> 00:44:33,904
in the base of support that he
was able to cobble together.

1022
00:44:33,937 --> 00:44:35,338
>> Build the wall!

1023
00:44:35,371 --> 00:44:38,041
Build the wall! Build the wall!

1024
00:44:38,075 --> 00:44:41,511
>> Yes, maybe he has offended
me, and maybe he's offensive,

1025
00:44:41,545 --> 00:44:43,147
but I'm still out of work.

1026
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:45,482
I'm still mad that people are
pouring over the borders.

1027
00:44:45,515 --> 00:44:48,551
And I'm still mad that ISIS is
still attacking people

1028
00:44:48,585 --> 00:44:49,920
all over the globe.

1029
00:44:49,953 --> 00:44:53,389
And you know what, I'm just
going to stick with him.

1030
00:44:53,423 --> 00:44:55,992
>> NARRATOR: With time running
out, Trump's chances of winning

1031
00:44:56,025 --> 00:44:58,228
still seemed slim.

1032
00:44:58,261 --> 00:45:01,764
But the race would be shaken up
by an unlikely source:

1033
00:45:01,798 --> 00:45:02,566
Wikileaks.

1034
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:03,734
>> Breaking news here.

1035
00:45:03,767 --> 00:45:06,770
Wikileaks is about to release
"significant material"

1036
00:45:06,803 --> 00:45:07,937
tied to Hillary Clinton.

1037
00:45:07,971 --> 00:45:09,005
>> The campaign is doing damage
control tonight

1038
00:45:09,038 --> 00:45:11,574
after Wikileaks releases more...

1039
00:45:11,608 --> 00:45:13,577
>> NARRATOR: Tens of thousands
of private emails

1040
00:45:13,610 --> 00:45:16,813
from Clinton campaign chairman
John Podesta were released.

1041
00:45:16,846 --> 00:45:18,715
>> There are some embarrassing
details...

1042
00:45:18,748 --> 00:45:20,049
>> This was a daily phenomenon.

1043
00:45:20,083 --> 00:45:21,852
>> Both at home and abroad
in all of this...

1044
00:45:21,885 --> 00:45:28,057
>> It was a constant, uh, you
know, pain to our campaign. 

1045
00:45:28,091 --> 00:45:30,160
>> ...flood of emails suggest
that in private

1046
00:45:30,193 --> 00:45:32,729
her advisors like to tee off
on everyone,

1047
00:45:32,763 --> 00:45:35,766
from Catholics to Latinos
and Southerners...

1048
00:45:35,799 --> 00:45:38,335
>> NARRATOR: Day after day,
the stories continued.

1049
00:45:38,368 --> 00:45:40,970
>> That she couldn't convey
a clear message to voters...

1050
00:45:41,003 --> 00:45:42,573
>> It was incredibly damaging,

1051
00:45:42,606 --> 00:45:44,975
because every day there were
bad stories coming out.

1052
00:45:45,008 --> 00:45:47,110
And they could be perfectly
timed.

1053
00:45:47,144 --> 00:45:49,446
>> Robby Mook lashed out
writing,

1054
00:45:49,479 --> 00:45:51,114
"Wow, what a terrorist."

1055
00:45:51,147 --> 00:45:52,382
>> It was anxiety provoking.

1056
00:45:52,415 --> 00:45:54,417
You just don't know what's going
to come out on any day.

1057
00:45:54,451 --> 00:45:56,720
And that you're going to have
to deal with that.

1058
00:45:56,753 --> 00:45:57,987
>> More than 2,000 emails...

1059
00:45:58,020 --> 00:45:59,723
They claim they came from her...

1060
00:45:59,756 --> 00:46:01,225
>> NARRATOR: The first emails
began to trickle out

1061
00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:04,160
less than an hour after
the Access Hollywood video.

1062
00:46:04,193 --> 00:46:08,031
>> The Access Hollywood tape was
a big surge

1063
00:46:08,064 --> 00:46:11,701
but then, you know,
after it had run 400 times

1064
00:46:11,735 --> 00:46:14,304
on television it fell off.

1065
00:46:14,337 --> 00:46:18,842
The Podesta emails kept getting
dribbled out

1066
00:46:18,875 --> 00:46:20,944
news cycle after news cycle

1067
00:46:20,977 --> 00:46:24,081
after news cycle,
and it lives forever.

1068
00:46:24,114 --> 00:46:25,448
>> NARRATOR:
There were media reports

1069
00:46:25,482 --> 00:46:27,951
that intelligence agencies
believed the leaks

1070
00:46:27,984 --> 00:46:29,119
were orchestrated by Russia.

1071
00:46:29,152 --> 00:46:31,355
But that didn't seem
to bother Trump.

1072
00:46:31,388 --> 00:46:32,622
>> Wikileaks is amazing.

1073
00:46:32,655 --> 00:46:33,757
The stuff that's coming out.

1074
00:46:33,790 --> 00:46:35,859
It shows she's a real liar.

1075
00:46:35,892 --> 00:46:38,629
This Wikileaks stuff is
unbelievable,

1076
00:46:38,662 --> 00:46:41,832
it tells you the inner heart,
you got to read it.

1077
00:46:41,865 --> 00:46:44,367
Wikileaks, I love WikiLeaks.

1078
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,903
>> NARRATOR: After the election,

1079
00:46:45,936 --> 00:46:49,739
intelligence agencies would go
further, concluding

1080
00:46:49,772 --> 00:46:52,142
that the leaks were part
of a larger campaign

1081
00:46:52,175 --> 00:46:54,578
ordered by Russian
president Vladimir Putin

1082
00:46:54,611 --> 00:46:57,714
to help elect Donald Trump.

1083
00:46:57,748 --> 00:47:01,251
>> It was cyber
mixed with information warfare

1084
00:47:01,284 --> 00:47:04,854
and the press,
the New York Times included,

1085
00:47:04,887 --> 00:47:08,458
became the handmaiden
to the process,

1086
00:47:08,491 --> 00:47:11,028
because these emails couldn't
be ignored as news.

1087
00:47:11,061 --> 00:47:12,863
They were newsy.
They were out there.

1088
00:47:12,896 --> 00:47:16,733
It's not like you could ignore
it and not write about it.

1089
00:47:16,766 --> 00:47:18,835
But in writing about it,

1090
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:21,805
you're doing the work that
Vladimir Putin had in mind.

1091
00:47:21,838 --> 00:47:25,375
>> NARRATOR: Then in the final
days as Hillary Clinton

1092
00:47:25,409 --> 00:47:28,444
struggled to hold onto
her lead, another crisis.

1093
00:47:28,478 --> 00:47:30,446
>> An L.A. Times reporter
came up

1094
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,683
to our traveling press
secretary, Nick Merrill,

1095
00:47:33,717 --> 00:47:37,688
and said, "Hey, have you heard
anything about some reopening

1096
00:47:37,721 --> 00:47:39,856
of the investigation
by the F.B.I.?"

1097
00:47:39,890 --> 00:47:42,693
>> I kept thinking this can't
be, this has to be a mistake.

1098
00:47:42,726 --> 00:47:45,661
It's got to be referring
to something else.

1099
00:47:45,695 --> 00:47:48,464
>> NARRATOR: The F.B.I.
director, James Comey,

1100
00:47:48,498 --> 00:47:52,702
was resuming an investigation of
Clinton's personal email server.

1101
00:47:52,736 --> 00:47:56,105
>> And I just remember this pit
in my stomach

1102
00:47:56,139 --> 00:47:59,142
and really worrying

1103
00:47:59,175 --> 00:48:02,278
that this could change the game
completely,

1104
00:48:02,311 --> 00:48:07,450
in a, you know, in a potentially
lethal way.

1105
00:48:07,484 --> 00:48:10,353
>> NARRATOR: Mook and Palmieri
briefed Clinton.

1106
00:48:10,386 --> 00:48:13,824
>> When I went to tell her,
I said, "I've got some news."

1107
00:48:13,857 --> 00:48:15,859
And she said,
"Okay, what's your news?"

1108
00:48:15,892 --> 00:48:18,061
And I said, "It's bad news."

1109
00:48:18,094 --> 00:48:21,998
So, um, she said,
"Okay, what's the bad news?"

1110
00:48:22,031 --> 00:48:23,099
And so I told her.

1111
00:48:23,133 --> 00:48:25,769
And she said, "I knew we
weren't going three weeks

1112
00:48:25,802 --> 00:48:28,271
without something else
hitting us."

1113
00:48:28,305 --> 00:48:32,075
>> That pit in my stomach,
you know, I'll never forget

1114
00:48:32,108 --> 00:48:38,281
that feeling, that, um, we just
got smacked

1115
00:48:38,314 --> 00:48:42,052
by a two-by-four and it
came out of nowhere.

1116
00:48:44,687 --> 00:48:48,158
>> NARRATOR: Donald Trump
immediately seized on the news.

1117
00:48:48,191 --> 00:48:50,260
>> I need to open

1118
00:48:50,294 --> 00:48:54,564
with a very critical
breaking news announcement.

1119
00:48:54,598 --> 00:49:01,170
(crowd cheering)

1120
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:10,447
The F.B.I. has just sent
a letter to Congress,

1121
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,017
informing them that they have
discovered

1122
00:49:14,051 --> 00:49:22,925
new emails pertaining to the
former secretary of state,

1123
00:49:22,959 --> 00:49:25,395
Hillary Clinton's,
investigation.

1124
00:49:25,429 --> 00:49:30,767
(crowd cheering)

1125
00:49:30,801 --> 00:49:32,468
>> Lock her up!

1126
00:49:32,502 --> 00:49:35,705
Lock her up! Lock her up!

1127
00:49:35,739 --> 00:49:40,677
(cheering continues)

1128
00:49:45,381 --> 00:49:50,053
>> And they are reopening
the case into her criminal

1129
00:49:50,087 --> 00:49:53,556
and illegal conduct that
threatens

1130
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:57,060
the security of the United
States of America.

1131
00:49:57,094 --> 00:50:00,029
(crowd shouting)

1132
00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:02,465
>> To win you need
a few breaks.

1133
00:50:02,498 --> 00:50:04,901
The F.B.I. announcement was such
a break,

1134
00:50:04,935 --> 00:50:07,337
certainly not controlled
by the Trump campaign,

1135
00:50:07,370 --> 00:50:10,306
but it really did throw
all the cards up in the air

1136
00:50:10,339 --> 00:50:11,908
at a pivotal time.

1137
00:50:11,942 --> 00:50:13,976
>> We are going to drain
the swamp.

1138
00:50:14,010 --> 00:50:15,912
>> NARRATOR: For the next week
and a half...

1139
00:50:15,946 --> 00:50:17,247
>> We are going
to re-negotiate...

1140
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:18,981
>> NARRATOR: Trump traveled
the country

1141
00:50:19,015 --> 00:50:20,083
building on that momentum.

1142
00:50:20,116 --> 00:50:23,520
>> And we will keep radical
Islamic terrorists...

1143
00:50:23,553 --> 00:50:25,422
>> NARRATOR: Staying
on message...

1144
00:50:25,455 --> 00:50:26,423
>> ...the hell out...

1145
00:50:26,456 --> 00:50:27,256
>> NARRATOR: Off Twitter...

1146
00:50:27,289 --> 00:50:29,091
>> We will build a great wall.

1147
00:50:29,125 --> 00:50:32,562
>> NARRATOR: Inside his campaign
they hoped it would be enough.

1148
00:50:32,595 --> 00:50:36,766
>> And we will make America
great again.

1149
00:50:36,799 --> 00:50:39,235
>> It was the first time that
Mr. Trump was relatively

1150
00:50:39,268 --> 00:50:40,970
scandal-free at that point.

1151
00:50:41,003 --> 00:50:42,105
A lot of things had gone away.

1152
00:50:42,138 --> 00:50:44,707
Secretary Clinton was
in the spotlight by herself.

1153
00:50:44,740 --> 00:50:47,110
And we saw a spike in numbers

1154
00:50:47,143 --> 00:50:50,079
that were just uncommon for
anything that we've seen before.

1155
00:50:50,113 --> 00:50:53,183
That was really the catalyst for
the roll, the snowball effect

1156
00:50:53,216 --> 00:50:55,618
that continued to happen
till Election Day.

1157
00:50:55,652 --> 00:50:58,121
>> NARRATOR: In the final days
of the campaign,

1158
00:50:58,154 --> 00:51:02,258
he solidified the Republican
base and in rally after rally,

1159
00:51:02,291 --> 00:51:06,429
he tried to win over voters
in the heart of the blue wall,

1160
00:51:06,463 --> 00:51:10,433
states a Republican hadn't won
in a generation.

1161
00:51:10,466 --> 00:51:14,037
>> In all these steel towns that
have carcasses of factories,

1162
00:51:14,070 --> 00:51:18,441
buildings where they used to
have molten metal, no more.

1163
00:51:18,474 --> 00:51:21,177
But you know what was there?

1164
00:51:21,210 --> 00:51:23,513
Trump signs.

1165
00:51:23,546 --> 00:51:26,182
>> Today is decision day in
America and we are taking a look

1166
00:51:26,215 --> 00:51:27,484
at the presidential race...

1167
00:51:27,517 --> 00:51:29,419
>> After a long, contentious
presidential race

1168
00:51:29,452 --> 00:51:30,820
we are near the end...

1169
00:51:30,853 --> 00:51:32,989
>> Donald Trump will carry
the state of Florida

1170
00:51:33,022 --> 00:51:34,156
with its 29 electoral...

1171
00:51:34,190 --> 00:51:36,592
>> Donald Trump has won
the state of Wisconsin,

1172
00:51:36,625 --> 00:51:38,261
and there goes her blue wall.

1173
00:51:38,294 --> 00:51:43,066
>> This means that Donald Trump
will be the 45th president

1174
00:51:43,099 --> 00:51:45,368
of the United States.

1175
00:51:45,401 --> 00:51:49,372
>> NARRATOR: As a candidate,
he had broken all the rules.

1176
00:51:49,405 --> 00:51:54,277
Now in the White House,
he promises to do the same.

1177
00:51:54,310 --> 00:51:57,714
>> You guys need to get used
to it that there is no pivot,

1178
00:51:57,747 --> 00:52:02,018
that there is no normal, and the
fact that there is no normal

1179
00:52:02,051 --> 00:52:04,054
is the new normal.

1180
00:52:04,087 --> 00:52:05,855
The only thing that is
predictable

1181
00:52:05,888 --> 00:52:08,892
is the unpredictability
of Washington, D.C.,

1182
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:10,260
from this point forward.

1183
00:52:10,293 --> 00:52:11,494
So get used to it.

1184
00:52:11,527 --> 00:52:14,731
Buckle your seat belts, sit
back, because it is going to be

1185
00:52:14,764 --> 00:52:16,399
a wild ride.

1186
00:52:16,432 --> 00:52:22,572
>> From this day forward, a new
vision will govern our land.

1187

<i> >> On the front line of Iraq's
