the AC would be impossible.

00:00:14.188 --> 00:00:15.015

12
00:00:15.058 --> 00:00:16.233
- This is a lovely room.

13
00:00:16.277 --> 00:00:17.887
This is one of the
best for an interview.

14
00:00:17.930 --> 00:00:21.064
And it's the people's house,
so we might as well use it.

as Forest Gump says, right?

18
00:00:28.289 --> 00:00:29.420
- Is this fake news?

00:00:29.464 --> 00:00:31.248
[woman laughs]

20
00:00:31.292 --> 00:00:33.033
- This is not a complete
dumper on him, right?

21
00:00:33.076 --> 00:00:34.512
- Check one, two, three.
Check one, two, three.

22
00:00:34.556 --> 00:00:35.992
Check one, two, three, four.

23
00:00:36.036 --> 00:00:37.907
- I dare you to put
this in the documentary.

24
00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.169
- [Director] I
might give it a go.

25
00:00:39.213 --> 00:00:40.997
- Tensions beginning
to run high. [chuckles]

26
00:00:41.041 --> 00:00:41.911
- Run the tape back.

- [Man] We're getting started!

30
00:00:45.610 --> 00:00:48.091
- You tell me when you're
ready. I'm always ready.

31
00:00:51.094 --> 00:00:54.663
- Well, like most people,
I didn't take it seriously.

32
00:00:54.706 --> 00:00:59.102
- When the entire country
was laughing at him,

33
00:00:59.146 --> 00:01:00.016
they were mocking him...

34
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:01.365
- Donald Trump has been saying

35
00:01:01.409 --> 00:01:03.106
that he will run for
president as a Republican,

36
00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:04.977
which is surprising,
since I just assumed

37
00:01:05.021 --> 00:01:06.414
he was running as a joke.

38
00:01:06.457 --> 00:01:09.417
[crowd laughing]

39
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:11.984
- There was just no
serious thought given

40
00:01:12.028 --> 00:01:13.290
to him as a candidate.

41
00:01:13.334 --> 00:01:14.987
- It's obvious that
the Republicans think

42
00:01:15.031 --> 00:01:15.988
Trump's gonna lose.

43
00:01:17.381 --> 00:01:19.122
- Well, I can imagine it
in a Saturday Night skit.

44
00:01:19.166 --> 00:01:20.776
- Utterly unqualified

45
00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:22.865
- He's an embarrassment
to this country.

46
00:01:22.908 --> 00:01:24.475
- Hillary belongs
in the White House.

47
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.173
Trump belongs on my show.

48
00:01:26.216 --> 00:01:28.305
- Right now we have
Hillary as about a 75

49
00:01:28.349 --> 00:01:29.393
or an 80% favorite.

50
00:01:29.437 --> 00:01:30.307
We have different versions

51
00:01:30.351 --> 00:01:31.613
of the forecast.
- That high?

52
00:01:31.656 --> 00:01:32.483
- You're not gonna be
president. All right?

53
00:01:32.527 --> 00:01:33.702
[audience laughing]

54
00:01:33.745 --> 00:01:35.791
- So discombobulated.
So unconventional.

55
00:01:35.834 --> 00:01:38.010
- This is a joke, and
it's an absurdity.

56
00:01:38.054 --> 00:01:39.838
- Donald Trump will
never be elected

57
00:01:39.882 --> 00:01:41.231
President of the United States.

58
00:01:41.275 --> 00:01:42.972
- I don't think there's
any way that Donald Trump

59
00:01:43.015 --> 00:01:44.887
gets elected President
of the United States.

60
00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:46.802
- Donald Trump is not
gonna be President

61
00:01:46.845 --> 00:01:48.064
of the United States.

62
00:01:48.108 --> 00:01:51.285
- You know, you guys
sound like two kittens

sitting on a train track,
looking down at a train,

64
00:01:54.288 --> 00:01:55.854
thinking, "That train
got a little bit bigger

65
00:01:55.898 --> 00:01:57.987
a few seconds ago, but
I'm sure it's gonna stop.

66
00:01:58.030 --> 00:01:59.336
Hey, it got a little bit bigger,

67
00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:01.164
but no way it's
gonna keep going.

68
00:02:01.208 --> 00:02:01.991
Hey, it-"

Splat.

70
00:02:03.471 --> 00:02:06.256
Listen, if something is
getting bigger and bigger

71
00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:08.432
and bigger every day,

72
00:02:08.476 --> 00:02:11.087
it's probably going to
continue doing that.

[electronic beeping]

75
00:03:47.270 --> 00:03:52.275

[soft electronic music]

77
00:03:55.191 --> 00:03:56.061
- [Reporter] Breaking
news coming in now

78
00:03:56.105 --> 00:03:57.672
from Charleston, South Carolina,

79
00:03:57.715 --> 00:03:59.587
where there are reports that
eight people have been killed

80
00:03:59.630 --> 00:04:01.023
in a shooting at a church.

81
00:04:02.111 --> 00:04:05.070
- We as a country will have
to reckon with the fact

82
00:04:05.114 --> 00:04:07.464
that this type of mass
violence does not happen

83
00:04:07.508 --> 00:04:08.900
in other advanced countries.

84
00:04:10.206 --> 00:04:11.468
- There was this growing gap

85
00:04:11.512 --> 00:04:13.949
between rich and poor Americans

86
00:04:13.992 --> 00:04:16.691
and it was really one
of the major challenges

87
00:04:16.734 --> 00:04:18.301
facing the country.

88
00:04:18.345 --> 00:04:20.782
- Sometimes I just don't
buy groceries every months,

89
00:04:20.825 --> 00:04:23.698
and I live eating a meal a day.

90
00:04:26.091 --> 00:04:27.005
- We automated away

91
00:04:27.049 --> 00:04:28.790
four million manufacturing jobs

92
00:04:28.833 --> 00:04:31.575
in Michigan Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,

93
00:04:31.619 --> 00:04:34.143
and those communities
have never recovered.

94
00:04:34.926 --> 00:04:38.495
- Today, we can say
in no uncertain terms

95
00:04:39.496 --> 00:04:43.457
we've made our union
a little more perfect.

99
00:04:52.030 --> 00:04:55.643
of the worst mass shooting

- You killed that man!

107
00:05:13.922 --> 00:05:18.840
- Huge country, 340 million
people, all Americans,

108
00:05:18.883 --> 00:05:22.322
but pretty distinct
cultures regionally

109
00:05:23.453 --> 00:05:27.501
and drastically different
political sensibilities.

110
00:05:29.807 --> 00:05:32.375
So you had people
who were pleased

111
00:05:32.419 --> 00:05:34.595
with the performance
of President Obama.

112
00:05:34.638 --> 00:05:37.511
[upbeat electronic music]

113
00:05:37.554 --> 00:05:39.469
- And that was a
winning campaign.

114
00:05:39.513 --> 00:05:41.079
You just felt-

115
00:05:41.123 --> 00:05:44.648
Millions of people at these
rallies, every age, every race.

116
00:05:44.692 --> 00:05:46.389
You felt the swell of excitement

117
00:05:46.433 --> 00:05:47.825
about this historic candidacy.

118
00:05:47.869 --> 00:05:51.655
- It was a creed written
into the founding documents

119
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:55.006
that declared the
destiny of a nation.

120
00:05:55.050 --> 00:05:56.138
Yes, we can.

121
00:05:56.181 --> 00:05:57.531
[crowd cheering]

122
00:05:57.574 --> 00:06:00.403
There was just incredible
enthusiasm for Obama,

123
00:06:00.447 --> 00:06:03.406
enthusiasm very rarely
seen for a politician.

124
00:06:03.450 --> 00:06:05.234
He offered a message
of hope and change

125
00:06:05.277 --> 00:06:07.628
that electrified
the Democratic base,

126
00:06:07.671 --> 00:06:09.804
and they turned out in
big numbers for him.

127
00:06:09.847 --> 00:06:14.548
- And CNN can now project that
Barack Obama, 47 years old,

128
00:06:14.591 --> 00:06:18.160
and will become the president
elect of the United States.

129

[crowd cheering]

130
00:06:23.121 --> 00:06:24.166
- Walking down the street,

131
00:06:24.209 --> 00:06:26.298
people were just
screaming, "Obama!"

132
00:06:26.342 --> 00:06:30.085
[energetic electronic music]

133
00:06:32.392 --> 00:06:36.570
- What Republican voters
believed to their core

134
00:06:36.613 --> 00:06:39.616
was that Barack
Obama had succeeded,

135
00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:42.358
that he had set out
to change America,

136
00:06:42.402 --> 00:06:45.840
and he did, and he wrecked it.

137
00:06:45.883 --> 00:06:47.363
[somber electronic music]

138
00:06:47.407 --> 00:06:50.322
- You had a few
different contingents

139
00:06:50.366 --> 00:06:51.976
that were starting to maybe look

140
00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:54.675
for a way to coalesce
around something

141
00:06:54.718 --> 00:06:57.982
to replace president Obama,
knowing that he'd be leaving.

142
00:06:58.026 --> 00:06:59.636
- I think Liberals
and Conservatives

143
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.987
were both looking for someone
who would go to political war

144
00:07:03.031 --> 00:07:04.815
for the issues
that we care about.

145
00:07:04.859 --> 00:07:07.165
Obama pushed this
country way to the left.

146
00:07:07.209 --> 00:07:08.819
Are you gonna keep that ground?

147
00:07:08.863 --> 00:07:10.647
Or are you gonna
cede that ground?

148
00:07:10.691 --> 00:07:12.780
And to just elect somebody
who was gonna come in

149
00:07:12.823 --> 00:07:14.869
and be kind of a caretaker
of the status quo?

150
00:07:14.912 --> 00:07:17.001
No way. Nobody wanted that.

151
00:07:17.045 --> 00:07:17.828
[crowd cheering]

152
00:07:17.872 --> 00:07:19.308

[crowd cheering]

154
00:07:23.007 --> 00:07:24.705
I'm back!

[crowd cheering]

156
00:07:27.403 --> 00:07:31.712
- Well, what Democrats
believed as gospel

157
00:07:31.755 --> 00:07:35.324
was that Barack Obama
had permanently changed

158
00:07:35.367 --> 00:07:37.152
the composition
of the electorate.

159
00:07:37.195 --> 00:07:39.546
[stark electronic music]

160
00:07:39.589 --> 00:07:43.158
This ascendant coalition
of African-Americans,

161
00:07:43.201 --> 00:07:46.335
of Latinos, of women,
of Millennials,

162
00:07:46.378 --> 00:07:50.687
was going to turn out in
the same levels that it had

163
00:07:50.731 --> 00:07:54.952
for president Obama's
two successful elections.

164
00:07:54.996 --> 00:07:55.866
[crowd cheering]

165
00:07:55.910 --> 00:07:56.780
- The Democratic party was like,

166
00:07:56.824 --> 00:07:58.173
"You know what we should do?"

167
00:07:59.130 --> 00:08:00.218
Hillary Clinton.

168
00:08:00.262 --> 00:08:01.350
- Hillary Clinton.
- Hillary Clinton.

169
00:08:01.393 --> 00:08:03.004
- Hillary Clinton.

170
00:08:03.047 --> 00:08:04.266
She is running for president.
- I am running for president.

171
00:08:04.309 --> 00:08:05.485
- This was like the
re-re-re-introduction

172
00:08:05.528 --> 00:08:06.921
of Hillary Clinton.

173
00:08:06.964 --> 00:08:09.010
Most people had already
formed an opinion about her,

174
00:08:09.053 --> 00:08:10.272
and that's hard to change.

175
00:08:10.315 --> 00:08:11.621
[crowd cheering]

176
00:08:11.665 --> 00:08:13.493
- There had never
been a candidate

177
00:08:13.536 --> 00:08:15.146
in the history of
the United States

178
00:08:15.190 --> 00:08:18.976
who had been as famous for
as long as she had been.

179
00:08:20.021 --> 00:08:22.545
- She's always prepared, she
always does her homework,

180

this is just how Hillary wins.

for getting attention

floated the idea publicly

of running for president.

I would never want to
rule it out totally.

on the Reform Party ticket.

- Do you have a vice
presidential candidate in mind?

256

- Well, I really haven't
gotten quite there yet.

close to running in 2012,

slightly forgotten that.

I'll bring back our money.

00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.248
may be endangered
or in jeopardy.

354
00:15:46.162 --> 00:15:47.772
- He tapped into that group.

355
00:15:47.816 --> 00:15:51.037
Yeah, there are more things,
but race was a major issue,

356
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.256
and people will say
it's not, but it was.

357
00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:54.823
He started chanting and,

358
00:15:54.866 --> 00:15:59.828
and the rhetoric was
shrill about race.

359
00:15:59.871 --> 00:16:02.135
- When Mexico sends its people,

360
00:16:02.178 --> 00:16:04.093
they're not sending their best.

361
00:16:05.051 --> 00:16:08.315
They're bringing drugs,
they're bringing crime,

362
00:16:08.358 --> 00:16:09.403
they're rapists.

363
00:16:09.446 --> 00:16:12.797
And some, I assume,
are good people.

364
00:16:12.841 --> 00:16:15.409
- Remember, after Mitt
Romney lost in 2012,

365
00:16:15.452 --> 00:16:17.498
most of the Republican
establishment thought

366
00:16:17.541 --> 00:16:19.848
it was because he
alienated Hispanic voters

367
00:16:19.891 --> 00:16:21.719
with self-deportation.

368
00:16:21.763 --> 00:16:23.808
Kellyanne was one of
a very small group

369
00:16:23.852 --> 00:16:25.723
of Republican professionals

370
00:16:25.767 --> 00:16:28.509
who thought it was
actually the opposite,

371
00:16:28.552 --> 00:16:31.338
who thought that you could
take a populist message

372
00:16:31.381 --> 00:16:34.297
against immigration,
not more liberal,

373
00:16:34.341 --> 00:16:36.517
but more conservative
on immigration,

374
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:39.650
and you could get not just
Republican primary voters

375
00:16:39.694 --> 00:16:42.827
but a lot of blue-collar,
white, working-class voters,

376
00:16:42.871 --> 00:16:45.656
particularly in the Rust
Belt, the upper Midwest.

377
00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:49.965
- I will build a great, great
wall on our southern border,

378
00:16:50.009 --> 00:16:53.142
and I will have Mexico
pay for that wall.

379
00:16:53.186 --> 00:16:54.056
Mark my words.

380
00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:55.579
[woman cheering]

381
00:16:55.623 --> 00:16:56.754
- Are you concerned about
alienating the Hispanic vote

382
00:16:56.798 --> 00:16:58.887
by saying that Mexico
is not our friend

383
00:16:58.930 --> 00:17:00.497
and we're building a wall?

384
00:17:00.541 --> 00:17:02.891
- If it's good for me or bad
for me, I don't think of that.

385
00:17:02.934 --> 00:17:04.501
I think of saying
the right thing.

386
00:17:04.545 --> 00:17:07.069
And people have to be
alerted to the fact

387
00:17:07.113 --> 00:17:09.854
that we are getting some
really bad characters

388
00:17:09.898 --> 00:17:11.465
coming into this country.

389
00:17:11.508 --> 00:17:13.858
- How can you succeed when
you say things like that?

390
00:17:13.902 --> 00:17:14.816
- Well, you can't-

391
00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:15.686
Again, Gayle, if
the question is,

392
00:17:15.730 --> 00:17:16.861
how can you become president,

393
00:17:16.905 --> 00:17:18.385
you can't by saying
things like that.

394
00:17:18.428 --> 00:17:19.864
- Are you racist?

395
00:17:19.908 --> 00:17:23.520
- I am the least racist
person that you have ever met.

396
00:17:23.564 --> 00:17:25.218
- He was fearless.

397
00:17:25.261 --> 00:17:28.569
When Donald Trump
denounces Mexicans,

398
00:17:28.612 --> 00:17:30.701
and people are outraged,

399
00:17:30.745 --> 00:17:35.010
and he loses the PGA
Championship from

400
00:17:35.054 --> 00:17:36.925
does he back down?

401
00:17:37.969 --> 00:17:38.883
No.

402
00:17:38.927 --> 00:17:41.016
He doubles down.

403
00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:43.410
- Donald J. Trump is
calling for a total

404
00:17:43.453 --> 00:17:48.371
and complete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States

405
00:17:48.415 --> 00:17:51.809
until our country's
representatives

406
00:17:51.853 --> 00:17:55.465
can figure out what
the hell is going on.

407
00:17:55.509 --> 00:17:58.164
[audience cheering]

408
00:17:58.207 --> 00:18:00.035
- It is, in fact, the case

409
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.778
that you have a big chunk
of racists in this country.

410
00:18:03.821 --> 00:18:06.302
But, worse than that, you
have a big chunk of people

411
00:18:06.346 --> 00:18:09.697
for whom racism is
not a disqualifier.

412
00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:11.177
And Trump understood that.

413
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:15.224
- [Audience] Build that
wall, build that wall!

414
00:18:15.268 --> 00:18:19.272
- Build that wall, build
that wall, build that wall,

415
00:18:19.315 --> 00:18:23.537
build that wall, build
that wall, build that wall,

416
00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:26.627
build that wall,
build that wall!

417
00:18:26.670 --> 00:18:28.585
[intense music]

418
00:18:28.629 --> 00:18:31.414
- He realized this
wasn't about ideology.

419
00:18:31.458 --> 00:18:34.287
It was about who
was the angriest.

420
00:18:34.330 --> 00:18:37.159
It was about who was the
angriest at Obama, specifically,

421
00:18:37.203 --> 00:18:41.294
and who could embody that
anger the most authentically.

422
00:18:41.337 --> 00:18:42.860
And so it didn't
matter that he wasn't

423
00:18:42.904 --> 00:18:45.472
a conventional conservative
on all kinds of metrics.

424
00:18:45.515 --> 00:18:47.735
What the base was really
looking for was just,

425
00:18:47.778 --> 00:18:50.607
who could be the most
opposed to Barack Obama?

426
00:18:53.088 --> 00:18:55.917
- Were it not for the
transformative love

427
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:57.353
of Jesus Christ?

428
00:18:57.397 --> 00:19:00.313
- What makes our country
exceptional? Faith and freedom.

429
00:19:00.356 --> 00:19:02.184
It's no exaggeration to say

430
00:19:02.228 --> 00:19:05.274
we're at the most critical
point in our nation's history.

431
00:19:05.318 --> 00:19:08.059
- The greatest nation
the world has ever known.

432
00:19:08.103 --> 00:19:09.583
- I see a great
country on the verge

433
00:19:09.626 --> 00:19:11.062
of its greatest century.

434
00:19:11.106 --> 00:19:13.804
- A new, American century.
Thank you, God bless you.

435
00:19:13.848 --> 00:19:14.675
[crowd cheering]

436
00:19:14.718 --> 00:19:16.242
God bless the United States.

437
00:19:16.285 --> 00:19:17.721
- Donald Trump was blessed

438
00:19:17.765 --> 00:19:20.811
with the biggest field in
modern Republican history.

439
00:19:20.855 --> 00:19:22.030
[intriguing electronic music]

440
00:19:22.073 --> 00:19:23.901
- Oh, there's no
doubt in my mind

441
00:19:23.945 --> 00:19:27.296
that the Trump
campaign was delighted

442
00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:30.256
by the fact that there were
so many other candidates.

443
00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:33.563
- This was possibly the
most qualified group

444
00:19:33.607 --> 00:19:36.479
of Republican
candidates in history.

445
00:19:36.523 --> 00:19:37.828
- Every single one
of them who ran

446
00:19:37.872 --> 00:19:39.613
thought there was
at least some chance

447
00:19:39.656 --> 00:19:42.442
that they could get
lightning in a bottle

448
00:19:42.485 --> 00:19:43.660
and win this thing.

449
00:19:43.704 --> 00:19:45.575
- Ted Cruz is my man.

450
00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:46.968
He fits the bill.

451
00:19:47.011 --> 00:19:48.970
- They thought that you
go out, you get your base,

452
00:19:49.013 --> 00:19:51.842
you're gonna fight
this out in the states.

453
00:19:51.886 --> 00:19:54.018
Jeb Bush is gonna
get X constituency,

454
00:19:54.062 --> 00:19:56.282
Rubio's gonna to get
this constituency,

455
00:19:56.325 --> 00:19:57.718
and so forth and so on.

456
00:19:57.761 --> 00:19:59.198
[crowd cheering]

457
00:19:59.241 --> 00:20:02.201
- They were prepared and
responsible and ready to lead.

458
00:20:02.244 --> 00:20:05.291
They were not prepared to play
the lowest common denominator

459
00:20:05.334 --> 00:20:07.206
every day to maximize attention.

460
00:20:09.033 --> 00:20:11.210
- So, along comes Donald Trump.

461
00:20:11.253 --> 00:20:14.604
And what Donald Trump
understood is that-

462
00:20:14.648 --> 00:20:18.347
- Republicans were not looking
for the smartest candidate

463
00:20:18.391 --> 00:20:20.480
or the most
sophisticated candidate.

464
00:20:20.523 --> 00:20:23.961
They were looking for a gut
puncher, a street fighter.

465
00:20:24.005 --> 00:20:26.137
[crowd shouting]

466
00:20:26.181 --> 00:20:27.878
- Rubio, total lightweight.

467
00:20:27.922 --> 00:20:30.794
And little mouth on
him. Bing, bing, bing.

468
00:20:30.838 --> 00:20:34.145
- A con artist will never
get control of this party!

469
00:20:34.189 --> 00:20:36.800
- Jeb Bush is a
low energy person.

470
00:20:36.844 --> 00:20:39.629
- I think Donald Trump is
trying to insult his way

471
00:20:39.673 --> 00:20:41.762
to the presidency, and
it's not gonna work.

472
00:20:41.805 --> 00:20:45.461
- Do you believe Senator Ted
Cruz is a natural-born citizen?

473
00:20:45.505 --> 00:20:47.376
- I don't know, to be honest.

474
00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:49.770
- Donald Trump
alleges that my dad

475
00:20:49.813 --> 00:20:51.859
was involved in
assassinating JFK.

476
00:20:51.902 --> 00:20:55.689
- And he's like this,
"And we will... [gasping]

477
00:20:55.732 --> 00:20:58.169
I need water. Help
me, I need water!"

478
00:20:58.213 --> 00:21:00.302
- This man is a
pathological liar.

479
00:21:00.346 --> 00:21:02.913
- And he knew that
all he had to do

480
00:21:02.957 --> 00:21:06.134
was seem different from
the typical Republican,

481
00:21:06.177 --> 00:21:09.442
and he would naturally
draw the public's interest.

482
00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:14.142
[audience laughing]

483
00:21:16.927 --> 00:21:18.320
Unbelievable.

484
00:21:18.364 --> 00:21:19.626
- [Reporter] Trump's latest
poll numbers matching

485
00:21:19.669 --> 00:21:21.976
his larger-than-life
personality.

486
00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:24.195
In a reversal from when
he entered the race,

487
00:21:24.239 --> 00:21:27.851
Republicans increasingly
believe Trump has staying power.

488
00:21:27.895 --> 00:21:30.854
But the question remains, can
Trump turn his poll numbers

489
00:21:30.898 --> 00:21:32.160
into actual votes?

490
00:21:33.379 --> 00:21:35.642
- Because his name
ID was so high,

491
00:21:35.685 --> 00:21:38.601
because he was such a
spectacle from day one

492
00:21:39.689 --> 00:21:41.648
that, in a giant field,

493
00:21:41.691 --> 00:21:43.606
his name bumped to
the top of polling,

494
00:21:43.650 --> 00:21:45.782
and then it sort of
feeds off of itself,

495
00:21:45.826 --> 00:21:47.218
because, once he's the leader,

496
00:21:47.262 --> 00:21:50.352
oh, maybe I'm maybe
I'm for the leader too.

497
00:21:50.396 --> 00:21:52.093
Yeah, sure, that sounds
interesting. Donald Trump.

498
00:21:52.136 --> 00:21:55.052
[stark music]

499
00:21:55.096 --> 00:21:59.405
- In reality television, the
villain is always the star.

500
00:21:59.448 --> 00:22:00.841
All the way back
to American idol.

501
00:22:00.884 --> 00:22:03.626
You know, Simon, he was rude
and mean. He's the star.

502
00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:06.629
That's a trope in reality TV.

503
00:22:06.673 --> 00:22:08.022
[crowd shouting]

504
00:22:08.065 --> 00:22:10.807
- Who would you rather
have negotiate with Iran?

505
00:22:10.851 --> 00:22:13.157
Trump or Jeb?

506
00:22:13.201 --> 00:22:14.550
- [Audience] Trump!

507
00:22:14.594 --> 00:22:16.247
- But here's the
problem with Rubio.

508
00:22:16.291 --> 00:22:18.815
When you sweat that much.

509
00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:20.426
[audience laughing]

510
00:22:20.469 --> 00:22:22.253
"Hello. Hello.

511
00:22:22.297 --> 00:22:23.994
Can I have some water?"

512
00:22:24.038 --> 00:22:25.082
And Putin's sitting there,

513
00:22:25.126 --> 00:22:26.388
"What the hell kinda
stuff is this?"

514
00:22:26.432 --> 00:22:29.652
This is not exactly a
poker player, folks.

515
00:22:29.696 --> 00:22:32.002
Not exactly a poker player.

516
00:22:32.046 --> 00:22:34.918
She said, "I never expect to
hear that from you again."

517
00:22:34.962 --> 00:22:36.659
She said, "He's a
pussy." That's terrible.

518
00:22:36.703 --> 00:22:37.486
[audience yelling]

519
00:22:37.530 --> 00:22:38.357
Terrible.

520
00:22:43.318 --> 00:22:46.147
- He had this reality
TV experience,

521
00:22:46.190 --> 00:22:49.498
which I contend people
watch for the humor.

522
00:22:50.412 --> 00:22:54.634
It's not jokes, but they just
laugh at what's happening.

523
00:22:54.677 --> 00:22:59.595
I think that, with
Trump's candidacy,

524
00:22:59.639 --> 00:23:02.468
that the news became comedy.

525
00:23:02.511 --> 00:23:05.688
- This is a TV star
who knew how to work

526
00:23:05.732 --> 00:23:07.342
the medium of television.

527
00:23:07.386 --> 00:23:09.388
And because most of the
Republican candidates

528
00:23:09.431 --> 00:23:12.434
were cowed into thinking they
shouldn't expose themselves

529
00:23:12.478 --> 00:23:15.959
too much, Trump sucked
up all the airtime.

530
00:23:16.003 --> 00:23:17.570
- Why don't you
turn your camera?

531
00:23:17.613 --> 00:23:20.224
Show 'em how many people
come to these rallies.

532
00:23:20.268 --> 00:23:21.922
Turn 'em! Go ahead, turn 'em!

00:23:22.792 --> 00:23:23.576
Go ahead!

[audience cheering]

536
00:23:33.324 --> 00:23:34.151
Brutal.

537
00:23:37.372 --> 00:23:38.895
- Immediately thought
that Donald Trump

538
00:23:38.939 --> 00:23:41.637
had climbed over the wall from
the world of entertainment

539
00:23:41.681 --> 00:23:43.465
into the world of politics.

540
00:23:43.509 --> 00:23:44.858
That's not what he did.

541
00:23:44.901 --> 00:23:47.774
He pulled the world of
politics over the wall

542
00:23:47.817 --> 00:23:49.428
into the world of entertainment.

543
00:23:50.994 --> 00:23:53.170
I'm Mike Huckabee. I'm
delighted to be on this stage.

544
00:23:53.214 --> 00:23:55.042
- I'm Jeb Bush, and
I believe America's

545
00:23:55.085 --> 00:23:56.783
on the verge of its
greatest century.

546
00:23:56.826 --> 00:23:58.306
- I'm Ted Cruz.

547
00:23:58.349 --> 00:24:00.874
I'm the son of an
Irish-Italian mom.

548
00:24:00.917 --> 00:24:02.615
- My wife, Jeanette, and
I are the proud parent.

549
00:24:02.658 --> 00:24:03.964
We've been married 17 years,

550
00:24:04.007 --> 00:24:05.879
and we're the proud
parents of four children.

551
00:24:05.922 --> 00:24:10.100
- I'm Donald Trump. I wrote
"The Art of the Deal."

552
00:24:10.144 --> 00:24:13.452
I say, not in a
braggadocious way,

553
00:24:13.495 --> 00:24:15.541
I've made billions and
billions of dollars

554
00:24:15.584 --> 00:24:17.673
dealing with people
all over the world.

555
00:24:17.717 --> 00:24:20.894
- The thing that makes
Trump the most unique

556
00:24:20.937 --> 00:24:24.027
is not any one element
of his personality,

557
00:24:24.071 --> 00:24:25.768
his skillset, his history.

558
00:24:25.812 --> 00:24:28.815
It's the lethal
combination of them.

559
00:24:28.858 --> 00:24:32.514
I've referred to this
as a talent stack,

560
00:24:32.558 --> 00:24:33.776
or, in this specific case,

561
00:24:33.820 --> 00:24:35.996
you could call it
a persuasion stack.

562
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:37.519
It's a bunch of skills that,

563
00:24:37.563 --> 00:24:38.955
if you put them together,

564
00:24:38.999 --> 00:24:41.480
you would say each of
these individual skills

565
00:24:41.523 --> 00:24:43.743
is not the best I've ever seen,

566
00:24:43.786 --> 00:24:46.572
but almost nobody
has this combination.

00:24:46.615 --> 00:24:47.442
[audience applauding]

568
00:24:47.486 --> 00:24:50.619
[soft electronic music]

569
00:24:50.663 --> 00:24:53.361
- Donald Trump took center
stage in that first debate

570
00:24:53.404 --> 00:24:56.364
in early August, 2015 and
never lost center stage.

571
00:24:56.407 --> 00:24:59.149
- Positioned on the stage by
how they stand in the polls.

572
00:24:59.193 --> 00:25:01.282
In the center of
the stage tonight,

573
00:25:01.325 --> 00:25:03.414
businessman Donald Trump.

[audience cheering]

575

- When Donald Trump
raised his hand and said

576
00:25:08.463 --> 00:25:10.900
that I might not support
the nominee, oh, I just...

577
00:25:10.944 --> 00:25:12.641
- Can I see hands?

578
00:25:12.685 --> 00:25:16.036
Who is unwilling tonight
to pledge your support

579
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.995
to the eventual nominee
of the Republican Party?

[audience booing]

581
00:25:21.041 --> 00:25:21.868
Mr. Trump.

582
00:25:26.394 --> 00:25:29.615
- People aren't watching
these primary debates

583
00:25:29.658 --> 00:25:31.965
to really learn
about the candidate.

584
00:25:32.008 --> 00:25:33.706
It's a show. It's a TV show.

[audience applauding]

586
00:25:36.186 --> 00:25:37.361
- Mr. Trump...

587
00:25:37.405 --> 00:25:39.886
- He was in this
situation with Megyn Kelly

588
00:25:39.929 --> 00:25:43.106
that I don't think anybody
could have escaped from

If they were a standard
politician with a

don't like fat pigs, dogs,

00:25:51.201 --> 00:25:53.987

[audience laughing]

596
00:25:58.861 --> 00:26:01.385
- [Moderator] No, it wasn't.

597
00:26:03.257 --> 00:26:07.174
- The Trump method is
not to deny everything.

598
00:26:07.217 --> 00:26:10.873
It's to own a little piece
of the terrible thing.

599
00:26:10.917 --> 00:26:12.571
- Everyone on stage
with him that night

600
00:26:12.614 --> 00:26:13.876
got the memo too late

601
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:15.443
that we were playing
a different game.

602
00:26:15.486 --> 00:26:18.577
- You had serious
policy debates in 1960.

603
00:26:18.620 --> 00:26:20.317
56 short years later,

604
00:26:20.361 --> 00:26:22.276
you don't have serious
policy debates anymore,

605
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:24.974
because the phone changed
everything, right?

606
00:26:25.018 --> 00:26:26.889
Because what happened is
the phone shortened up

607
00:26:26.933 --> 00:26:28.325
everybody's attention span.

608
00:26:28.369 --> 00:26:30.371
Trump understood
that, "I'm in this

609
00:26:30.414 --> 00:26:32.373
and I'm out of this
thing in 30 seconds.

610
00:26:32.416 --> 00:26:34.244
That's gonna show up on
everybody's media page.

611
00:26:34.288 --> 00:26:36.595
That's gonna show up on
soundbites in the news

612
00:26:36.638 --> 00:26:38.422
and I'm going to beat the guy
controlling the narrative.

613
00:26:38.466 --> 00:26:39.336
They're not."

614
00:26:39.380 --> 00:26:40.642
- We don't need a weak person

615
00:26:40.686 --> 00:26:42.688
being President of the
United States, okay?

616
00:26:42.731 --> 00:26:43.732
We don't need that.

00:26:44.646 --> 00:26:45.429
We don't need that.

619
00:26:45.473 --> 00:26:46.779
Nasty guy.

620
00:26:46.822 --> 00:26:48.215
Now I know why he doesn't
have one endorsement

621
00:26:48.258 --> 00:26:49.433
from any of his colleagues.

622
00:26:49.477 --> 00:26:50.870
- All right, John,
I get to respond.

00:26:50.913 --> 00:26:52.175
- [Moderator] Senator
Cruz, pick from the buffet.

624
00:26:52.219 --> 00:26:53.655
- Rand Paul shouldn't
even be on this stage.

625
00:26:53.699 --> 00:26:56.658
He's number 11. He's
got 1% in the polls.

626
00:26:56.702 --> 00:26:58.051
- I don't know.
- You're not beating Hillary.

00:26:58.094 --> 00:26:59.356
- Well, then, if I can't...

Hey, if I can't,
if can't beat her

629
00:27:00.662 --> 00:27:02.446

get killed, aren't you?

00:27:04.187 --> 00:27:05.406
So let me ask you this,

'cause you're really
getting beaten badly.

00:27:06.625 --> 00:27:07.887
I know you're embarrassed.

634
00:27:07.930 --> 00:27:09.236
I know you're embarrassed,
but keep fighting.

635
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.673
Keep swinging, men.
Swing for the fences.

636
00:27:11.717 --> 00:27:13.457
Let me just tell you.
Let me just tell you..

637
00:27:13.501 --> 00:27:16.025
- I mean, they were all
ready for each other,

638
00:27:16.069 --> 00:27:17.287
but they weren't ready for him.

639
00:27:17.331 --> 00:27:19.507
Okay, he was like the
human wrecking ball.

640
00:27:19.550 --> 00:27:23.032
He was the Howard Stern of
presidential candidates.

641
00:27:23.076 --> 00:27:26.775
He was the first smash-mouth,
shock jock candidate.

642
00:27:26.819 --> 00:27:28.385
So he came in there
with his tongue.

643
00:27:28.429 --> 00:27:29.691
He used them as boxing fists.

00:27:29.735 --> 00:27:31.214
He was just boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:27:33.303 --> 00:27:34.130

'em left and right,

00:27:34.174 --> 00:27:34.783

[audience booing]

654
00:27:45.489 --> 00:27:48.144
Two days ago he said he
would take his pants off

and moon everybody,
and that's fine.

656

Nobody reports that.

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:52.888
He gets up and says that.

right down the street.

They're sleeping!
They're sleeping now.

in the linguistic kill shot,

00:28:02.071 --> 00:28:02.855
as I call it.

662
00:28:02.898 --> 00:28:04.030
- He's very low energy.

663
00:28:04.073 --> 00:28:06.554
I'm not used to that
kind of a person.

664
00:28:06.597 --> 00:28:10.036
- If you looked at a Jeb
Bush before the nickname,

665
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.385
you probably thought what I did

666
00:28:11.428 --> 00:28:13.213
which was, hey,
this Jeb Bush guy

667
00:28:13.256 --> 00:28:18.261
looks like a real cool,
calm, even-headed leader.

668
00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:22.657
- But the moment that Trump
said he was low-energy,

669
00:28:22.701 --> 00:28:24.485
you couldn't unsee it.

- More energy
tonight. I like that.

674
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.972
- And then he got
to "Lying Ted".

675
00:28:33.015 --> 00:28:35.496
Well, look at him.
He looks shifty

676
00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:36.584
- And he cleverly made it

677
00:28:36.627 --> 00:28:37.193
Lyin' with an
apostrophe, not a G.

678
00:28:39.282 --> 00:28:43.765

did "Little Marco"...

- I knew this stuff works.

683
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:55.298
- It was the idea that Trump
was assigning people names.

684
00:28:55.342 --> 00:28:57.648
That conveys a
sort of authority.

685
00:28:58.824 --> 00:29:00.434
- Don't worry about it,
Little Marco, I will.

686
00:29:00.477 --> 00:29:02.566
- All right, well
let's hear, Big...

687
00:29:02.610 --> 00:29:03.959
- Don't worry about it, Little-

688

Don't worry about
it, Little Marco.

Sometimes the only way
to deal with a bully

is to knock him on his ass.

692
00:29:09.748 --> 00:29:11.793
- He's always calling
me Little Marco.

693
00:29:11.837 --> 00:29:13.273
And I'll admit, the guy,
he's taller than me.

694
00:29:13.316 --> 00:29:15.492
He's like 6'2", which is
why I don't understand

695
00:29:15.536 --> 00:29:18.147
why his hands are the size
of someone who's 5'2".

696
00:29:18.191 --> 00:29:21.194
Have you seen his hands?
They're like this.

697
00:29:22.543 --> 00:29:24.980
And you know what they say
about men with small hands...

- Everyone criticizes Rubio for
going dirty on Trump, right?

700
00:29:30.856 --> 00:29:34.207
Oh, he messed up his brand,
and that was never his brand.

701
00:29:34.250 --> 00:29:38.559
It was exactly that...
It was cringe-worthy.

702
00:29:38.602 --> 00:29:40.953
- He hit my hands. Nobody
has ever hit my hands.

703
00:29:40.996 --> 00:29:42.215
I've never heard of this one.

704
00:29:42.258 --> 00:29:44.304
Look at those hands.
Are they small hands?

705
00:29:44.347 --> 00:29:46.219
[audience laughing]

706
00:29:46.262 --> 00:29:48.134
And he referred to my hands,

707
00:29:48.177 --> 00:29:50.919
if they're small, something
else must be small.

708
00:29:50.963 --> 00:29:53.530
I guarantee you there's no
problem. I guarantee it.

709
00:29:53.574 --> 00:29:54.880
[audience laughing]

710
00:29:54.923 --> 00:29:56.055
- You have young children.

711
00:29:56.098 --> 00:29:57.665
Do you regret where
this has gone?

712
00:29:57.708 --> 00:29:59.145
- Look, I...

713
00:29:59.188 --> 00:30:01.103
I regret the way that campaign
has become, absolutely,

714
00:30:01.147 --> 00:30:03.279
because Donald Trump,
for the last year,

715
00:30:03.323 --> 00:30:05.151
has made it one of the
most vulgar spectacles

716
00:30:05.194 --> 00:30:07.109
in American political history.

717
00:30:07.153 --> 00:30:08.807
[overlapping shouts]

718
00:30:08.850 --> 00:30:12.549
- Trump ran through the
Republican field like a buzzsaw.

719
00:30:13.681 --> 00:30:15.814
- The Bush dynasty is done.

720
00:30:17.511 --> 00:30:20.470
There were Republicans
who were rising stars,

721
00:30:20.514 --> 00:30:21.732
whether you're talking
about a Chris Christie

722
00:30:21.776 --> 00:30:25.345
or a Marco Rubio, a Rick
Perry, who are done,

723
00:30:25.388 --> 00:30:27.826
done in American life.

724
00:30:28.783 --> 00:30:30.393
And then it got
to the Democrats.

725
00:30:30.437 --> 00:30:32.700
- Part of Hillary's whole
strategy in the primaries

726
00:30:32.743 --> 00:30:34.354
was to elevate
Trump to make sure

727
00:30:34.397 --> 00:30:36.051
that the media
took him seriously.

728
00:30:36.095 --> 00:30:38.010
- Now, some transformation
has happened,

729
00:30:38.053 --> 00:30:41.143
and Republicans, whether they
support Donald Trump or not,

730
00:30:41.187 --> 00:30:44.146
seem to think that he
really is their best chance

731
00:30:44.190 --> 00:30:47.280
of winning the general
election next November.

732
00:30:47.323 --> 00:30:49.151
- Anne, which
Republican candidate

733
00:30:49.195 --> 00:30:52.328
has the best chance at
winning the general election?

734
00:30:52.372 --> 00:30:55.462
- Of the declared ones,
right now Donald Trump.

735
00:30:55.505 --> 00:30:57.943
[audience laughing]

736
00:30:57.986 --> 00:31:00.554
- There was a feeling of
like the Clinton campaign

737
00:31:00.597 --> 00:31:03.383
felt like this is great.

738
00:31:03.426 --> 00:31:05.602
He'll destroy the
Republican Party

739
00:31:06.516 --> 00:31:10.738
and make it impossible
for a Republican to win.

740
00:31:10.781 --> 00:31:13.915
- Donald Trump's continue
ascent in the Republican Party

741
00:31:13.959 --> 00:31:17.310
could mean the end of the
Republican Party as we know it,

742
00:31:17.353 --> 00:31:19.921
that George W. Bush
could be the last

743
00:31:19.965 --> 00:31:22.097
elected Republican president.

744
00:31:22.141 --> 00:31:24.970
- The RNC apparatus...

745
00:31:25.013 --> 00:31:27.711
eventually panicked...

746
00:31:27.755 --> 00:31:30.018
at the idea of Donald
Trump being the nominee,

747
00:31:30.062 --> 00:31:32.803
and they started to be more
aggressive behind the scenes

748
00:31:32.847 --> 00:31:34.240
to try to derail it.

749
00:31:34.283 --> 00:31:37.765
If we Republicans choose
Donald Trump as our nominee,

750
00:31:37.808 --> 00:31:41.029
the prospects for a safe
and prosperous future

751
00:31:41.073 --> 00:31:42.248
are greatly diminished.

752
00:31:42.291 --> 00:31:43.423
- You can see how loyal he is.

753
00:31:43.466 --> 00:31:45.164
He was begging for
my endorsement.

754
00:31:46.034 --> 00:31:47.949
I could've said, "Mitt,
drop to your knees."

755
00:31:47.993 --> 00:31:51.126
He would have dropped to
his knees. He was begging!

756
00:31:51.170 --> 00:31:52.736
- We've confirmed
that both presidents

757
00:31:52.780 --> 00:31:55.914
George W. Bush and his
father George H.W. Bush

758
00:31:55.957 --> 00:31:58.612
will stay silent and
not endorse anyone.

759
00:31:58.655 --> 00:32:02.703
- He's a race baiting,
xenophobic, religious bigot.

760
00:32:03.573 --> 00:32:05.184
He doesn't represent my party.

761
00:32:05.227 --> 00:32:06.663
- They wanted him
to write checks.

762
00:32:06.707 --> 00:32:08.361
They viewed him as a donor.

763
00:32:08.404 --> 00:32:10.667
They did not view him
as a serious candidate.

764
00:32:10.711 --> 00:32:12.843
They viewed him as a
threat to everything

765
00:32:12.887 --> 00:32:15.107
that the RNC had
been working for.

766
00:32:15.150 --> 00:32:17.500
And what the RNC didn't realize

767
00:32:17.544 --> 00:32:19.938
is that the American people
could really have cared less

768
00:32:19.981 --> 00:32:21.635
what their point of view was.

769
00:32:21.678 --> 00:32:24.290
- CNN projects that Donald Trump

770
00:32:24.333 --> 00:32:27.989
will be the winner of the New
Hampshire Republican Primary.

771
00:32:28.033 --> 00:32:30.035
- Oh, wow!

772
00:32:30.078 --> 00:32:31.471
Wow, wow, wow.

773
00:32:31.514 --> 00:32:32.994
- [Reporter] Donald
Trump is the winner

774
00:32:33.038 --> 00:32:34.430
of the Nevada Caucuses.

775
00:32:34.474 --> 00:32:37.825
- We won with young.
We won with old.

776
00:32:37.868 --> 00:32:41.872
We won with highly educated.
We won with poorly educated.

777
00:32:41.916 --> 00:32:44.397
I love the poorly educated.

778
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.529
- [Reporter] A 22-point
margin in Alabama,

779
00:32:46.573 --> 00:32:49.054
14-point victory in
Tennessee and Georgia.

780
00:32:49.097 --> 00:32:50.359
- Yeah, baby!

781
00:32:50.403 --> 00:32:52.187
- [Reporter] Very big
nights for Donald Trump.

782
00:32:52.231 --> 00:32:53.319
- They got destroyed.

783
00:32:53.362 --> 00:32:55.321
Donald Trump, all
five states called

784
00:32:55.364 --> 00:32:57.366
relatively early in the night.

785
00:32:57.410 --> 00:33:00.979
- People thought that
Conservative values voters

786
00:33:01.022 --> 00:33:03.677
were gonna care more
about personal morality

787
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:06.375
than political and
policy alignment.

788
00:33:06.419 --> 00:33:07.898
And at the end of
the day, it turns out

789
00:33:07.942 --> 00:33:10.031
they don't care that much
about personal morality

790
00:33:10.075 --> 00:33:10.945
for their leaders.

791
00:33:10.989 --> 00:33:13.600
[audience cheering]

792
00:33:13.643 --> 00:33:16.255
- He exposes the fact
that it's not about ideas.

793
00:33:16.298 --> 00:33:17.430
It's about emotions.

794
00:33:17.473 --> 00:33:19.736
This is not about
actually ideology.

795
00:33:19.780 --> 00:33:22.478
It's, oh, you know,
he talks like me,

796
00:33:22.522 --> 00:33:25.264
he thinks like me, in some
cases he hates like me.

797
00:33:26.917 --> 00:33:29.703
They felt like the
two major parties

798
00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:33.750
had failed the country in
the most fundamental ways,

799
00:33:33.794 --> 00:33:35.578
and they simply
weren't listening,

800
00:33:35.622 --> 00:33:37.754
and they wanted
to find the person

801
00:33:37.798 --> 00:33:40.279
who could personify
their anguish

802
00:33:40.322 --> 00:33:41.715
about the country's future.

803
00:33:45.632 --> 00:33:47.808
[crowd cheering]

804
00:33:47.851 --> 00:33:51.507
- [Audience] Bernie,
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!

805
00:33:53.292 --> 00:33:55.207
- Well, look, nobody saw
Bernie Sanders coming,

806
00:33:55.250 --> 00:33:56.773
least of all the Hillary
Clinton campaign.

807
00:33:56.817 --> 00:33:58.775
And even Bernie Sanders
himself was surprised

808
00:33:58.819 --> 00:34:01.300
by how much traction he got.

809
00:34:01.343 --> 00:34:04.477
- [Announcer] Senator
Bernie Sanders!

810
00:34:04.520 --> 00:34:07.480
[audience cheering]

811
00:34:07.523 --> 00:34:10.526
- What this campaign
is about is creating

812
00:34:10.570 --> 00:34:13.834
a political
revolution in America.

813
00:34:13.877 --> 00:34:16.880
[audience cheering]

814
00:34:19.100 --> 00:34:21.102
- CNN projects
that Bernie Sanders

815
00:34:21.146 --> 00:34:24.801
will win the Wisconsin
Democratic Presidential Primary,

816
00:34:24.845 --> 00:34:26.368
beating Hillary Clinton.

817
00:34:26.412 --> 00:34:28.675
A big, big win for
Bernie Sanders.

818
00:34:28.718 --> 00:34:30.459
He won five of the
last six states.

819
00:34:30.503 --> 00:34:32.374
- We've now won, I
guess, nine states.

820
00:34:32.418 --> 00:34:34.333
And a lot more are yet to come.

821
00:34:34.376 --> 00:34:36.639
I think Bernie Sanders was...

822
00:34:36.683 --> 00:34:38.989
said a lot about
weaknesses in her candidacy

823
00:34:39.033 --> 00:34:40.861
that he gave her
such a hard run.

824
00:34:40.904 --> 00:34:44.778
- Her campaign refused
to take seriously

825
00:34:44.821 --> 00:34:47.433
that there had been an
insurgency in her party,

826
00:34:47.476 --> 00:34:51.828
and a 149 year old
socialist from Vermont

827
00:34:51.872 --> 00:34:55.963
who nobody ever heard of got
47% of the vote against her.

828
00:34:56.006 --> 00:34:59.749
She went to Michigan and
got beat to a bloody pulp

829
00:34:59.793 --> 00:35:01.142
by Bernie Sanders.

830
00:35:01.186 --> 00:35:04.014
That lets you know that
there's a problem for you

831
00:35:04.058 --> 00:35:05.799
in the industrial heartland.

832
00:35:05.842 --> 00:35:07.148
- The fact that he
was able to pull off

833
00:35:07.192 --> 00:35:09.324
that incredible
upset showed people

834
00:35:09.368 --> 00:35:13.241
that there is still a
very vocal constituency

835
00:35:13.285 --> 00:35:14.721
in the Democratic base.

836
00:35:14.764 --> 00:35:18.203
- What we see is
a populism rising,

837
00:35:18.246 --> 00:35:21.554
but a populism that is formed

838
00:35:21.597 --> 00:35:24.644
by a lack of economic gain

839
00:35:24.687 --> 00:35:27.342
and movement in the
middle of the economy.

840
00:35:32.042 --> 00:35:35.524
- A very large swath of the
country has felt left out

841
00:35:35.568 --> 00:35:37.831
by the economic miracle
that's taken place

842
00:35:37.874 --> 00:35:39.180
over the last 30 years.

843
00:35:41.051 --> 00:35:42.966
[soft music]

844
00:35:43.010 --> 00:35:45.012
In the process of globalization,

845
00:35:45.055 --> 00:35:48.276
there's been rising living
standards all over the world,

846
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:49.712
but the American middle-class

847
00:35:49.756 --> 00:35:52.715
and American lower middle-class
missed out on this.

848
00:35:54.456 --> 00:35:57.329
- In the United States
of America today,

849
00:35:58.243 --> 00:36:01.289
there is massive injustice

850
00:36:01.333 --> 00:36:05.337
in terms of income
and wealth inequality.

851
00:36:05.380 --> 00:36:07.643
- When you have no
real wage growth,

852
00:36:07.687 --> 00:36:12.692
when 67% doesn't have
$1,000 dollars in savings,

853
00:36:13.214 --> 00:36:17.218
when all the economic
gains accrue at the top,

854
00:36:17.262 --> 00:36:20.917
that will ultimately
destabilize politics.

855
00:36:20.961 --> 00:36:23.093
- Remember, 76% of Americans

856
00:36:23.137 --> 00:36:25.008
do not have a four
year college degree.

857
00:36:25.052 --> 00:36:26.967
More than two
thirds of Americans

858
00:36:27.010 --> 00:36:29.622
have never been
to college at all.

859
00:36:29.665 --> 00:36:32.668
So, what you're excluding
is the vast majority

860
00:36:32.712 --> 00:36:35.976
of the country from
the possibility of

861
00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:37.064
of the upper middle class.

862
00:36:37.107 --> 00:36:39.197
- Those people were angry.

863
00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:42.243
- [Audience] Bernie
Sanders! [clapping]

864
00:36:42.287 --> 00:36:43.766
Bernie Sanders!

865
00:36:43.810 --> 00:36:47.248
- [Audience] Trump, Trump,
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump!

866
00:36:47.292 --> 00:36:48.641
- Boo!

867
00:36:48.684 --> 00:36:50.991
- Things he's saying I've
been saying for years.

868
00:36:51.034 --> 00:36:53.036
When he wins, we all win.

869
00:36:53.080 --> 00:36:54.342
[soft music]

870
00:36:54.386 --> 00:36:58.303
- He tapped into a vein
of the American mindset

871
00:36:58.346 --> 00:37:01.828
that believed that the
American dream was aspirational

872
00:37:01.871 --> 00:37:03.351
but no longer achievable.

873
00:37:04.483 --> 00:37:06.833
- I'm tired of the
politicians in Washington.

874
00:37:06.876 --> 00:37:08.791
I'm tired of the way
the country's being run.

875
00:37:08.835 --> 00:37:10.271
And I want some change.

876
00:37:10.315 --> 00:37:12.795
I want somebody new, and the
man knows what he's doing.

877
00:37:12.839 --> 00:37:14.754
- If you want a candidate

878
00:37:14.797 --> 00:37:17.974
who's gonna help
create a government

879
00:37:18.018 --> 00:37:22.414
which for all of us
and not just the 1%...

880
00:37:22.457 --> 00:37:27.245
- The jobs, incomes, and
security of the American worker

881
00:37:27.288 --> 00:37:30.857
will always be my
first priority.

882
00:37:32.511 --> 00:37:33.686
- And this guy is saying,

883
00:37:33.729 --> 00:37:36.297
I'm not gonna ship
your job jobs overseas.

884
00:37:36.341 --> 00:37:38.256
I'm not going to
trade with people

885
00:37:38.299 --> 00:37:40.214
who will undermine our economy.

886
00:37:40.258 --> 00:37:42.129
I'm not gonna let
people into the country

887
00:37:42.172 --> 00:37:43.696
who will jeopardize
your security.

888
00:37:43.739 --> 00:37:45.175
That's what they're looking for.

889
00:37:45.219 --> 00:37:47.743
- I am going to be...

890
00:37:47.787 --> 00:37:50.659
the greatest jobs president...

891
00:37:50.703 --> 00:37:52.661
that God ever created.

892
00:37:52.705 --> 00:37:53.706
Remember that.

[audience cheering]

894
00:37:55.273 --> 00:37:57.013
- I think a lot of
people go, "Oh my gosh!

895
00:37:57.057 --> 00:38:00.234
Look at this Trump, he's
upending everything!"

896
00:38:00.278 --> 00:38:02.541
And this is some disease that
just popped out of nowhere

897
00:38:02.584 --> 00:38:03.759
in the American polity.

898
00:38:03.803 --> 00:38:05.631
And it's like, no,
he's actually a symptom

899
00:38:05.674 --> 00:38:07.720
of the fact that many
people have felt alienated

900
00:38:07.763 --> 00:38:11.289
for a long time, have felt
disappointed in their vehicles

901
00:38:11.332 --> 00:38:13.595
for reaching
Congress, in Congress,

902
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.946
in this entire sort of system.

903
00:38:16.990 --> 00:38:20.123
- Our system is rigged.

904
00:38:20.167 --> 00:38:22.474
The system is corrupt.

905
00:38:22.517 --> 00:38:24.563
The system is broken.

906
00:38:24.606 --> 00:38:26.347
[somber music]

907
00:38:26.391 --> 00:38:29.568
- They were waiting for
someone who just would grab

908
00:38:29.611 --> 00:38:32.788
the people of Washington,
the leeches and the lawyers

909
00:38:32.832 --> 00:38:34.616
and the lobbyists
and all of them,

910
00:38:34.660 --> 00:38:37.706
just grab them by the neck
and say get the fuck out.

911
00:38:37.750 --> 00:38:40.753
- We are going to
drain the swamp.

912
00:38:40.796 --> 00:38:45.801
It is time to drain the
swamp in Washington, D.C.

913
00:38:46.411 --> 00:38:48.369
We're draining the swamp.

914
00:38:48.413 --> 00:38:51.416
[audience cheering]

915
00:38:54.723 --> 00:38:56.290
- [Interviewer] Some
people have told us

916
00:38:56.334 --> 00:38:59.380
that Trump voters were dumb
and that he manipulated them.

917
00:38:59.424 --> 00:39:02.427
- It is a mistake to
say, or to believe,

918
00:39:02.470 --> 00:39:04.342
that people who voted for
Donald Trump are stupid,

919
00:39:04.385 --> 00:39:05.647
just like it's a mistake to say

920
00:39:05.691 --> 00:39:08.346
that they're sexist or
racist or xenophobic.

921
00:39:09.434 --> 00:39:11.784
It is fair to say, though,
that they were duped.

922
00:39:11.827 --> 00:39:13.438
Because if you're
looking for a champion,

923
00:39:13.481 --> 00:39:15.527
if you've been squeezed as
a member of the middle-class

924
00:39:15.570 --> 00:39:18.399
for a Rust Belt city,
a billionaire populist

925
00:39:18.443 --> 00:39:21.228
who lives on Fifth Avenue
is not gonna be your savior.

926
00:39:21.271 --> 00:39:22.447
Now, to Donald Trump's credit,

927
00:39:22.490 --> 00:39:24.144
he was able to
connect with them.

928
00:39:24.187 --> 00:39:25.624
- And I'll tell you what.

929
00:39:25.667 --> 00:39:30.150
The big business in this
country, and I'm a part of it,

930
00:39:30.193 --> 00:39:31.586
but I decided-

931
00:39:31.630 --> 00:39:34.067
I'd been on the other side.
You do know that, right?

932
00:39:34.110 --> 00:39:35.721
I understand the other side.

933
00:39:35.764 --> 00:39:36.896
- In some way,
it's possible that,

934
00:39:36.939 --> 00:39:39.333
because he owned
being the rich guy

935
00:39:39.377 --> 00:39:41.770
who was going to help
everybody do better,

936
00:39:41.814 --> 00:39:44.643
it, in a way, circumvented
the criticisms

937
00:39:44.686 --> 00:39:46.122
that he's just some rich guy.

938
00:39:46.166 --> 00:39:47.820
- Large numbers of
Americans have thought

939
00:39:47.863 --> 00:39:49.430
for a very long period of time

940
00:39:49.474 --> 00:39:52.346
that, if we can only get
a businessman in there,

941
00:39:52.390 --> 00:39:53.782
someone who understood business,

942
00:39:53.826 --> 00:39:56.306
we could make the government
run like a business.

943
00:39:56.350 --> 00:39:57.960
Which is kind of a
funny point of view

944
00:39:58.004 --> 00:40:01.834
when you think of all of
the senators and governors

945
00:40:01.877 --> 00:40:03.792
who were businessmen,
who were elected

946
00:40:03.836 --> 00:40:06.404
and generally have been
a disastrous politician.

947
00:40:06.447 --> 00:40:09.015
[helicopter whirring]

948
00:40:09.058 --> 00:40:13.454
- He was out there giving
helicopter rides to children,

949
00:40:13.498 --> 00:40:15.978
spending tons of
money showing anything

950
00:40:16.022 --> 00:40:17.676
but humble beginnings.

951
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.287
but that's who his persona was,

952
00:40:20.330 --> 00:40:23.899
and that made him
seem authentic.

953
00:40:23.943 --> 00:40:27.642
- So he wore a suit where
other people don't wear suits.

954
00:40:27.686 --> 00:40:31.385
He stayed looking presidential
in every situation.

955
00:40:31.429 --> 00:40:33.169
[overlapping shouts]

956
00:40:33.213 --> 00:40:35.041
- Mr. Trump now has security

957
00:40:35.084 --> 00:40:37.522
equal to the President
of the United States.

958
00:40:37.565 --> 00:40:40.046
- We commonly refer to
our activity as the show,

959
00:40:40.089 --> 00:40:43.745
and the reason being is
because it was a show.

960
00:40:43.789 --> 00:40:46.618
If you think about the
optics, the black vehicles,

961
00:40:46.661 --> 00:40:48.968
the limousines, the
agents that jump out

962
00:40:49.011 --> 00:40:51.274
with sunglasses and earpieces,

963
00:40:51.318 --> 00:40:53.538
there's a sense of
importance and gravitas

964
00:40:53.581 --> 00:40:56.149
that comes with the show.

965
00:40:56.192 --> 00:40:58.847
And Donald Trump had
that almost one year

966
00:40:58.891 --> 00:41:00.980
in advance of the election.

967
00:41:01.023 --> 00:41:02.938
- And he made sure that,
when he landed his plane,

968
00:41:02.982 --> 00:41:05.245
that it looked a lot
like Air Force One.

969
00:41:05.288 --> 00:41:07.987
That there would be plenty
of camera time for that.

970
00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:12.382
- The American people would
have been disappointed

971
00:41:12.426 --> 00:41:15.385
if he had appeared
at any airport

972
00:41:15.429 --> 00:41:17.387
in any other jet.

973
00:41:18.171 --> 00:41:22.131
The black and gold and
red Trump color scheme,

974
00:41:22.175 --> 00:41:25.744
and the giant block
letters of gold, Trump,

975
00:41:25.787 --> 00:41:30.400
are things that people
respond to now emotionally.

976
00:41:30.444 --> 00:41:33.578
It's not just that they're
amused and riveted by it.

977
00:41:33.621 --> 00:41:35.057
They like it.

978
00:41:35.101 --> 00:41:36.885
- They admire Donald
Trump the same way

979
00:41:36.929 --> 00:41:38.800
they once admired Elvis.

980
00:41:38.844 --> 00:41:41.760
They see a man who's living
large, who's enjoying life,

981
00:41:41.803 --> 00:41:43.370
Who's doing what they
would probably do

982
00:41:43.413 --> 00:41:45.372
if they were worth
billions of dollars.

983
00:41:45.415 --> 00:41:48.244
- Trump is the guy that the
working class man would be

984
00:41:48.288 --> 00:41:49.855
If he won the lottery.

985
00:41:49.898 --> 00:41:52.292
There's something about Trump's
wealth, the gold-platedness,

986
00:41:52.335 --> 00:41:55.556
the eating a bucket of
KFC on his airplane.

[soft electronic music]

988
00:41:58.211 --> 00:42:00.779
- He's one powerful person

989
00:42:00.822 --> 00:42:04.260
who's gonna stand
up and stand between

990
00:42:04.304 --> 00:42:08.526
the regular folks and the
elite and say, "I'm with them."

991
00:42:10.528 --> 00:42:11.877
- He has money.

992
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:13.966
He's supporting this
campaign from his own money.

993
00:42:14.009 --> 00:42:14.967
He believes in this.

994
00:42:15.010 --> 00:42:16.272
- I'm here for Donald Trump

995
00:42:16.316 --> 00:42:19.145
because he loves America
and he loves Texans.

996
00:42:19.188 --> 00:42:20.189
- And veterans.

997
00:42:20.233 --> 00:42:21.887
- Yes! Yes!

998
00:42:21.930 --> 00:42:25.804
- We need jobs and
we need more jobs.

999
00:42:25.847 --> 00:42:29.024
I mean, it's getting bad,
but it's gonna get better,

1000
00:42:29.068 --> 00:42:30.330
'cause he's gonna
be our president.

1001
00:42:30.373 --> 00:42:32.550
- He wants to eliminate
some of the corruption

1002
00:42:32.593 --> 00:42:33.986
that's in the government.

1003
00:42:34.029 --> 00:42:35.248
And there's a lot of
corruption in this government

1004
00:42:35.291 --> 00:42:36.902
at the present time.

1005
00:42:36.945 --> 00:42:38.425
- If you were afraid that your
child was being indoctrinated

1006
00:42:38.468 --> 00:42:41.602
in high school or college,
Trump had a message for you.

1007
00:42:41.646 --> 00:42:44.170
If you were angry about
the cultural signals

1008
00:42:44.213 --> 00:42:47.782
that Hollywood was sending,
he had a message for you.

1009
00:42:47.826 --> 00:42:49.349
And if you were...

1010
00:42:50.219 --> 00:42:53.179
resentful that the media
wasn't telling the whole story,

1011
00:42:53.222 --> 00:42:55.311
boy, did he have
a message for you.

1012
00:42:55.355 --> 00:43:00.142
And it became Trump versus
this cultural elite.

1013
00:43:00.186 --> 00:43:03.581
[grave electronic music]

1014
00:43:08.847 --> 00:43:13.329
- If you look at a Trump rally,
you see the joyful faces,

1015
00:43:13.373 --> 00:43:16.332
people laughing,
people having fun.

1016
00:43:17.856 --> 00:43:21.033
- He was electrifying audiences

1017
00:43:21.076 --> 00:43:23.601
of 10 to 20 to 30,000 people.

1018
00:43:23.644 --> 00:43:25.298
- I would go early
to the events.

1019
00:43:25.341 --> 00:43:27.343
They would be lined
up around the block,

1020
00:43:27.387 --> 00:43:30.172
into the second block,
into the third block.

1021
00:43:30.216 --> 00:43:31.609
Never seen anything like it.

1022
00:43:32.566 --> 00:43:35.787
- They would show up in
labyrinth, snake-like lines

1023
00:43:35.830 --> 00:43:37.658
to go to a rally just
to say they were there

1024
00:43:37.702 --> 00:43:39.965
when he was there and
be part of his movement.

We want Trump!

case 30,000 people...

00:44:00.028 --> 00:44:01.987
and they're all
cheering your name...

And you're Donald Trump...

It's better than Oxycontin.

1035

I mean, it is the most
addictive thing in life,

1036
00:44:08.733 --> 00:44:10.952
even more than private jets.

Ah, that's so beautiful.

1042
00:44:19.918 --> 00:44:22.921
- Donald Trump is very,
very hard to understand

1043
00:44:22.964 --> 00:44:26.446
if you come at him through the
lens of an educated person.

1044
00:44:26.489 --> 00:44:28.143
I went to a number
of his rallies

1045
00:44:28.187 --> 00:44:30.885
in New Hampshire and
in South Carolina.

1046
00:44:30.929 --> 00:44:32.713
And I would listen
to Trump's speeches,

1047
00:44:32.757 --> 00:44:35.150
and it seemed to me as if
he was changing thoughts

1048
00:44:35.194 --> 00:44:36.674
in the middle of a sentence,

1049
00:44:36.717 --> 00:44:38.501
not just in the middle
of the paragraph.

1050
00:44:38.545 --> 00:44:40.025
There were so many
unfinished thoughts

1051
00:44:40.068 --> 00:44:41.983
and so many imprecise wordings.

1052
00:44:42.027 --> 00:44:44.333
I thought, my gosh, what does
this guy even talking about?

1053
00:44:44.377 --> 00:44:46.335
- Did you read about Starbucks?

1054
00:44:46.379 --> 00:44:48.947
No more "Merry
Christmas" on Starbucks.

1055
00:44:48.990 --> 00:44:50.557
Then you say, sorry,
we're leaving.

1056
00:44:50.600 --> 00:44:52.559
You go out, you double
up the sanctions.

1057
00:44:52.602 --> 00:44:55.127
By the time your plane lands

1058
00:44:55.170 --> 00:44:57.651
at one of our decrepit
airports, they're all decrepit.

1059
00:44:57.695 --> 00:45:00.785
This was said to me by one of
the great musical geniuses.

1060
00:45:00.828 --> 00:45:02.264
I won't tell you his name.

1061
00:45:02.308 --> 00:45:04.223
I don't want to get in trouble.

1062
00:45:04.266 --> 00:45:06.747
But he said, "Donald, you're
the greatest in the world.

1063
00:45:06.791 --> 00:45:09.097
You're the only one
that can fill an arena

1064
00:45:09.141 --> 00:45:11.796
without a guitar,"
meaning without music.

1065
00:45:11.839 --> 00:45:15.451
I don't want Oreos
made in Mexico!

1066
00:45:15.495 --> 00:45:16.801
[audience booing]

1067
00:45:16.844 --> 00:45:17.671
Right?

1068
00:45:17.715 --> 00:45:19.020
- It's baffling to me...

1069
00:45:19.847 --> 00:45:22.589
why people would say that he...

1070
00:45:22.632 --> 00:45:26.680
that Trump gets anyone
in the Rust Belt,

1071
00:45:26.724 --> 00:45:28.813
any middle-class person.

1072
00:45:28.856 --> 00:45:30.553
Not only...

1073
00:45:30.597 --> 00:45:34.296
Yes, does he literally live in
a gold tower in New York City

1074
00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:38.648
and a mansion in Beverly Hills,
on a golf course in Florida

1075
00:45:38.692 --> 00:45:41.216
I never saw a speech
of Donald Trump's

1076
00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:43.958
where he addressed the
needs of the working class.

1077
00:45:44.002 --> 00:45:46.265
I never saw a single
speech of Donald Trump's

1078
00:45:46.308 --> 00:45:50.704
where he talked about anything
but himself and his enemies.

1079
00:45:50.748 --> 00:45:53.402
- And yet, when I talked
to the people in the crowd,

1080
00:45:53.446 --> 00:45:55.100
I found that he was
resonating with them.

1081
00:45:55.143 --> 00:45:57.145
- We're gonna win so much,

1082
00:45:57.189 --> 00:45:59.495
you may even get
tired of winning!

1083
00:45:59.539 --> 00:46:01.889
And you'll say, "Please, please!

1084
00:46:01.933 --> 00:46:03.369
It's too much winning!

1085
00:46:03.412 --> 00:46:05.371
We can't take it anymore!

1086
00:46:05.414 --> 00:46:07.503
Mr. President, it's too much!"

1087
00:46:07.547 --> 00:46:09.070
And I'll say, "No, it isn't!

1088
00:46:09.114 --> 00:46:10.637
We have to keep winning!

1089
00:46:10.680 --> 00:46:12.117
We have to win more!

1090
00:46:12.160 --> 00:46:13.466
We're gonna win more!"

1091
00:46:13.509 --> 00:46:14.641
- You can mock it.

1092
00:46:14.684 --> 00:46:15.990
You can say you
don't agree with it.

1093
00:46:16.034 --> 00:46:18.036
You can say it wasn't
sophisticated enough.

1094
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:19.341
But you can't say
he didn't have it.

1095
00:46:19.385 --> 00:46:21.648
He knew exactly what he
wanted to tell people.

1096
00:46:21.691 --> 00:46:22.954
- People came to the rallies

1097
00:46:22.997 --> 00:46:24.651
because they had no idea
what he was gonna say.

1098
00:46:24.694 --> 00:46:27.088
They had no ideas whether
there were gonna be fights.

1099
00:46:27.132 --> 00:46:28.176
You didn't know.

1100
00:46:28.220 --> 00:46:30.352
- His campaign
violence gone viral.

1101
00:46:30.396 --> 00:46:32.050
Those are the big
questions this week

1102
00:46:32.093 --> 00:46:33.660
after the ugliest two days

1103
00:46:33.703 --> 00:46:36.706
of a dangerously angry
White House race.

1104
00:46:36.750 --> 00:46:38.970
- Oh, we have a protester.

1105
00:46:39.013 --> 00:46:40.362
We have a protester.

1106
00:46:40.406 --> 00:46:42.756
[audience booing]

1107
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:44.062
I love the old days.

1108
00:46:44.105 --> 00:46:45.454
You know what they used
to do to guys like that

1109
00:46:45.498 --> 00:46:46.978
when they were in
a place like this?

1110
00:46:47.021 --> 00:46:49.676
They'd be carried out
on a stretcher, folks.

1111
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:51.939
[audience cheering]

1112
00:46:51.983 --> 00:46:53.245
Ah, it's true.

1113
00:46:54.724 --> 00:46:55.725
Get 'em outta here!

1114
00:46:55.769 --> 00:46:56.814
Get 'em out!

1115
00:46:56.857 --> 00:46:58.032
Out, out, out!

1116
00:46:58.076 --> 00:47:00.121
Bye! Go home to mommy.

1117
00:47:00.165 --> 00:47:02.167
- [Reporter] Do you regret
saying any of those things

1118
00:47:02.210 --> 00:47:03.646
about punching protesters,

1119
00:47:03.690 --> 00:47:05.735
sending them out on stretchers?

1120
00:47:05.779 --> 00:47:08.129
- No, I don't regret it at all.

1121
00:47:08.173 --> 00:47:09.348
- Racist go home!
- Build that wall!

1122
00:47:09.391 --> 00:47:10.653
- Racist go home!
- Build that wall!

1123
00:47:10.697 --> 00:47:14.005
- Is there anything more
fun than a Trump rally?

1124
00:47:14.048 --> 00:47:15.397
- [Audience] No!

1125
00:47:15.441 --> 00:47:17.486
- The ancient Romans
said that the electorate

1126
00:47:17.530 --> 00:47:19.662
was motivated by
bread and circuses.

1127
00:47:19.706 --> 00:47:23.449
So the idea that
giving people a show

1128
00:47:23.492 --> 00:47:26.017
is not unique to
21st century America

1129
00:47:26.060 --> 00:47:28.193
or 21st century world.

1130
00:47:29.629 --> 00:47:31.805
But Trump Is good at it. He's
good at provoking people.

1131
00:47:31.849 --> 00:47:33.154
He's good at getting
a rise out of people

1132
00:47:33.198 --> 00:47:34.329
in whatever medium.

1133
00:47:34.373 --> 00:47:35.765
ISIS...

1134
00:47:35.809 --> 00:47:36.854
is honoring...

1135
00:47:37.898 --> 00:47:39.117
President Obama.

1136
00:47:39.160 --> 00:47:39.944
[audience booing]

1137
00:47:39.987 --> 00:47:41.946
He is the founder of ISIS.

1138
00:47:41.989 --> 00:47:43.338
He's the founder of ISIS.

1139
00:47:43.382 --> 00:47:45.210
- Trump has launched
a new line of attacks

1140
00:47:45.253 --> 00:47:47.168
trying to link the
Obama administration

1141
00:47:47.212 --> 00:47:48.561
to the founding of ISIS.

1142
00:47:48.604 --> 00:47:51.869
- Founding ISIS would be,
I mean, that's treason.

1143
00:47:51.912 --> 00:47:53.435
- I know what you meant.

1144
00:47:53.479 --> 00:47:55.133
You meant that he created the
vacuum, he lost the peace.

1145
00:47:55.176 --> 00:47:57.135
- No, I meant he's
the founder of ISIS.

1146
00:47:57.178 --> 00:47:59.093
He was the founder of ISIS.

1147
00:47:59.137 --> 00:48:00.181
Absolutely.

1148
00:48:00.225 --> 00:48:03.402
- Every night I had
to sit on set...

1149
00:48:04.446 --> 00:48:07.972
cable news, and listen
to people explaining

1150
00:48:08.015 --> 00:48:11.410
how Trump is moments away
from self-destructing,

1151
00:48:11.453 --> 00:48:13.934
how the most recent thing
he's done is so terrible

1152
00:48:13.978 --> 00:48:15.196
and he'll never survive it.

1153
00:48:15.240 --> 00:48:17.024
- And I think what
Trump understood better

1154
00:48:17.068 --> 00:48:20.593
than really anybody is the
truth of being in the media.

1155
00:48:20.636 --> 00:48:22.377
There's not a liberal
or a conservative bias

1156
00:48:22.421 --> 00:48:24.292
as much as there's
a conflict bias,

1157
00:48:24.336 --> 00:48:27.121
and Donald Trump
provided daily conflict.

1158
00:48:27.165 --> 00:48:29.428
- You gotta see this guy,
"I don't know what I said!

1159
00:48:29.471 --> 00:48:30.255
[mumbling]

1160
00:48:30.298 --> 00:48:31.821
I don't remember!"

1161
00:48:31.865 --> 00:48:34.302
- That reporter he is talking
about is Serge Kovaleski,

1162
00:48:34.346 --> 00:48:35.782
who now works for
the New York Times.

1163
00:48:35.825 --> 00:48:37.653
- Do you believe in punishment
for abortion, yes or no?

1164
00:48:37.697 --> 00:48:38.654
As a principle.

1165
00:48:38.698 --> 00:48:41.135
- The answer is that...

1166
00:48:41.179 --> 00:48:42.963
there has to be some
form of punishment.

1167
00:48:43.007 --> 00:48:43.790
- For the woman?

1168
00:48:43.833 --> 00:48:45.226
- Yeah.

1169
00:48:45.270 --> 00:48:47.359
- Have you even read the
United States Constitution?

1170
00:48:47.402 --> 00:48:49.491
- If you look at his wife,
she was standing there.

1171
00:48:49.535 --> 00:48:50.666
She had nothing to say.

1172
00:48:50.710 --> 00:48:52.320
She probably, maybe
she wasn't allowed

1173
00:48:52.364 --> 00:48:53.321
to have anything to say.

1174
00:48:53.365 --> 00:48:54.757
You tell me.

1175
00:48:54.801 --> 00:48:56.629
- That's a famous Mussolini
quote. You retweeted it.

1176
00:48:56.672 --> 00:48:57.717
Do you like the quote?

1177
00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:58.805
Did you know it was Mussolini?

1178
00:48:58.848 --> 00:49:00.502
- It's okay to know
it's Mussolini.

1179
00:49:00.546 --> 00:49:02.069
Look, Mussolini was Mussolini.

1180
00:49:02.113 --> 00:49:04.202
I'm gonna bomb the
shit out of 'em!

1181
00:49:04.245 --> 00:49:05.029
[audience cheering]

1182
00:49:05.072 --> 00:49:05.899
It's true.

1183
00:49:05.943 --> 00:49:07.205
I don't care.

1184
00:49:07.248 --> 00:49:10.121
They give us the most
dishonest reporting,

1185
00:49:10.164 --> 00:49:11.731
and that's the way it is, folks.

1186
00:49:11.774 --> 00:49:14.038
That's the way it is, and
we just get used to it.

1187
00:49:14.081 --> 00:49:16.997
- Whenever Trump would
appear on television,

1188
00:49:17.041 --> 00:49:18.651
the ratings would go up.

1189
00:49:18.694 --> 00:49:20.174
- Man, who would have
expected the ride

1190
00:49:20.218 --> 00:49:21.784
we're all having right now.

1191
00:49:21.828 --> 00:49:24.265
It may not be good for America,
but it's damn good for CBS.

1192
00:49:24.309 --> 00:49:25.179
That's all I got to say.

1193
00:49:25.223 --> 00:49:26.833
[audience laughing]

1194
00:49:26.876 --> 00:49:28.922
- So they had this endless
appetite for Trump,

1195
00:49:28.966 --> 00:49:31.316
because they had an endless
appetite for ratings.

1196
00:49:31.359 --> 00:49:33.883
[audience cheering]

1197
00:49:33.927 --> 00:49:35.494
- Trump's a racist!

1198
00:49:35.537 --> 00:49:38.497
[audience laughing]

1199
00:49:38.540 --> 00:49:40.368
- Yeah, I mean, it's
symbiotic, right?

1200
00:49:40.412 --> 00:49:41.891
And everyone should admit

1201
00:49:41.935 --> 00:49:44.894
that this is a symbiotic
relationship that...

1202
00:49:44.938 --> 00:49:46.200
he rates...

1203
00:49:47.201 --> 00:49:49.116
we cover him 'cause he rates.

1204
00:49:49.160 --> 00:49:50.726
You could just put
a camera on him

1205
00:49:50.770 --> 00:49:54.208
and guarantee that it was gonna
be entertaining in some way.

1206
00:49:54.252 --> 00:49:56.254
- Because he's a
controlled car crash.

1207
00:49:56.297 --> 00:49:57.864
And once in a while
he'll hit the guard rail

1208
00:49:57.907 --> 00:50:01.563
doing 75 miles an hour and
sparks will come off the car,

1209
00:50:01.607 --> 00:50:03.261
and you're like, okay,
where's this thing gonna go?

1210
00:50:03.304 --> 00:50:04.784
I gotta watch this thing.

1211
00:50:04.827 --> 00:50:07.004
- At first, he would do
an interview with anybody.

1212
00:50:07.047 --> 00:50:08.788
He was calling in to TV stations

1213
00:50:08.831 --> 00:50:10.442
and radio stations
left and right.

1214
00:50:10.485 --> 00:50:12.879
- I'm joined now on the phone
from New York by Donald Trump.

1215
00:50:12.922 --> 00:50:14.533
- On the phone, Donald Trump.

1216
00:50:14.576 --> 00:50:15.969
- Donald Trump on the phone

1217
00:50:16.013 --> 00:50:17.971
- We have a phone
call from somebody.

1218
00:50:18.015 --> 00:50:19.233
- Good morning, darling.

1219
00:50:19.277 --> 00:50:20.626
- Nobody had ever
seen that before.

1220
00:50:20.669 --> 00:50:25.370
Usually you have walls and
walls of media handlers

1221
00:50:25.413 --> 00:50:28.895
between a candidate
and the media system.

1222
00:50:28.938 --> 00:50:29.896
What's on the Facebook page?

1223
00:50:29.939 --> 00:50:30.766
What's on the Twitter page?

1224
00:50:30.810 --> 00:50:32.377
Who's he talking to when?

1225
00:50:32.420 --> 00:50:36.424
Trump just kept accelerating
his share of the media market.

1226
00:50:36.468 --> 00:50:37.643
[cameras snapping]

1227
00:50:37.686 --> 00:50:39.166
- It was partly it
was Trump's celebrity

1228
00:50:39.210 --> 00:50:42.561
and the expectation that he
would say something outrageous.

1229
00:50:42.604 --> 00:50:43.823
- It may be.

1230
00:50:43.866 --> 00:50:44.780
Again, I don't have the data,

1231
00:50:44.824 --> 00:50:46.304
but I'm just gonna make a guess

1232
00:50:46.347 --> 00:50:49.133
that Donald Trump was the
most televised candidate

1233
00:50:49.176 --> 00:50:51.004
in the history of candidates.

1234
00:50:51.048 --> 00:50:53.572
- He's someone that
commands media attention

1235
00:50:53.615 --> 00:50:55.356
and television oxygen.

1236
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:57.576
And actually, what
happened is everyone,

1237
00:50:57.619 --> 00:50:59.621
in the liberal
media in particular,

1238
00:50:59.665 --> 00:51:01.797
continued to underestimate him.

1239
00:51:01.841 --> 00:51:03.756
- I think there is a large
segment of the population

1240
00:51:03.799 --> 00:51:07.064
in the United States that
wants to blame somebody,

1241
00:51:07.107 --> 00:51:09.457
and the media becomes
an easy target.

1242
00:51:09.501 --> 00:51:12.765
- But I do think that there
were things done for him,

1243
00:51:12.808 --> 00:51:16.116
like photos of the empty
podium, waiting for the presser,

1244
00:51:16.160 --> 00:51:18.814
because it was guaranteed
conflict, good TV.

1245
00:51:18.858 --> 00:51:21.121
- Front-runner Donald
Trump expected to speak

1246
00:51:21.165 --> 00:51:22.383
at a campaign rally.

1247
00:51:22.427 --> 00:51:23.602
- So we're just expecting him.

1248
00:51:23.645 --> 00:51:24.994
- [Reporter] We're
awaiting his remarks.

1249
00:51:25.038 --> 00:51:25.734
- [Reporter] Still waiting
for that Donald Trump.

1250
00:51:25.778 --> 00:51:26.953
- Any minute now.

1251
00:51:26.996 --> 00:51:29.303
- All the news coverage
just got sucked up

1252
00:51:29.347 --> 00:51:32.132
and focused on him,
because he continued to be

1253
00:51:32.176 --> 00:51:33.481
the most interesting story.

1254
00:51:33.525 --> 00:51:34.613
You can't even remember

1255
00:51:34.656 --> 00:51:37.006
what the other
candidates were about.

1256
00:51:37.050 --> 00:51:39.879
- But the media is
not the one that told

1257
00:51:39.922 --> 00:51:44.797
all of his competitors
not to do interviews.

1258
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.713
They were running an old
game and an old playbook.

1259
00:51:47.756 --> 00:51:52.979
Trump, to his credit,
understood that new media world.

1260
00:51:53.022 --> 00:51:55.286
And he took advantage of it.
There's no question about it.

1261
00:51:55.329 --> 00:51:58.506
- That led to just an
unconscionable amount

1262
00:51:58.550 --> 00:52:00.552
of free media coverage

1263
00:52:00.595 --> 00:52:03.032
that we could sort of
quantify in dollars.

1264
00:52:03.076 --> 00:52:04.773
It would be a really,
really high number.

1265
00:52:04.817 --> 00:52:07.167
- You know, people say that
he got a billion dollars

1266
00:52:07.211 --> 00:52:08.255
in free media in the primary,

1267
00:52:08.299 --> 00:52:09.865
but a lot of that was negative.

1268
00:52:09.909 --> 00:52:12.520
A lot of that would have been
considered not a campaign ad

1269
00:52:12.564 --> 00:52:14.957
for his campaign but
for his opponents.

1270
00:52:15.001 --> 00:52:17.177
- I supported him. He
lost, he let us down.

1271
00:52:17.221 --> 00:52:18.570
But, you know, he lost.

1272
00:52:18.613 --> 00:52:20.180
So I never liked him
as much after that

1273
00:52:20.224 --> 00:52:21.007
'cause I don't like losers.

1274
00:52:21.050 --> 00:52:22.095
[audience laughing]

1275
00:52:22.139 --> 00:52:23.227
But Frank, Frank,

1276
00:52:23.270 --> 00:52:24.141
let me get to it.
- He's a war hero.

1277
00:52:24.184 --> 00:52:26.055
He hit me.
- He's a war hero.

1278
00:52:26.099 --> 00:52:28.580
You hear me say, "But
he's a war hero."

1279
00:52:28.623 --> 00:52:29.972
I couldn't believe it.

1280
00:52:30.016 --> 00:52:31.278
He's a war hero. And
I said it like that.

1281
00:52:31.322 --> 00:52:32.453
- He's not a war hero.

1282
00:52:32.497 --> 00:52:33.454
- He's a war hero.

1283
00:52:33.498 --> 00:52:34.281
- He's a war hero-

1284
00:52:34.325 --> 00:52:35.500
- Five and a half years.

1285
00:52:35.543 --> 00:52:37.284
- He's a war hero
'cause he was captured.

1286
00:52:37.328 --> 00:52:38.938
I like people that
weren't captured, okay?

1287
00:52:38.981 --> 00:52:40.157
I hate to tell you.

1288
00:52:40.200 --> 00:52:42.028
- And I thought to
myself at that moment

1289
00:52:42.985 --> 00:52:45.205
the gentleman who is
sitting across from you

1290
00:52:45.249 --> 00:52:48.469
is in the process of
lighting himself on fire.

1291
00:52:48.513 --> 00:52:50.297
- Oh, that was my first moment

1292
00:52:50.341 --> 00:52:52.995
where I naively was like,
well, this guy's done.

1293
00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:54.258
[laughs]

1294
00:52:54.301 --> 00:52:56.085
- Supposedly, that's
something that the right

1295
00:52:56.129 --> 00:52:57.348
does not tolerate.

1296
00:52:57.391 --> 00:53:00.264
You cannot go after
members of the military.

1297
00:53:00.307 --> 00:53:01.656
- You know, I'm just speechless.

1298
00:53:01.700 --> 00:53:04.877
'cause I just can't
believe such reckless words

1299
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:06.792
out of a person's mouth.

1300
00:53:06.835 --> 00:53:09.882
- He did 10 things,
from the announcement

1301
00:53:09.925 --> 00:53:11.710
through the first vote in Iowa,

1302
00:53:11.753 --> 00:53:13.625
10 things that would have
killed any other candidate.

1303
00:53:13.668 --> 00:53:15.540
And each time, he
just got stronger.

1304
00:53:15.583 --> 00:53:18.107
- This is going to be a
nightmare of a campaign.

1305
00:53:18.151 --> 00:53:22.634
If he insists on being so
uncivil and so disrespectful,

1306
00:53:22.677 --> 00:53:25.027
but you better get ready for it.

1307
00:53:25.071 --> 00:53:26.551
- They say I have the
most loyal people.

1308
00:53:26.594 --> 00:53:27.943
Did you ever see that?

1309
00:53:27.987 --> 00:53:29.815
Where I could stand in
the middle of Fifth Avenue

1310
00:53:29.858 --> 00:53:32.296
and shoot somebody, and I
wouldn't lose any voters, okay?

1311
00:53:32.339 --> 00:53:33.471
It's incredible.

1312
00:53:33.514 --> 00:53:34.776
[audience laughing]

1313
00:53:34.820 --> 00:53:37.344
- You're encouraged to
be modest, to be humble,

1314
00:53:37.388 --> 00:53:39.694
not to show off,
not to be brash,

1315
00:53:39.738 --> 00:53:42.306
not to say provocative
things, to be very careful,

1316
00:53:42.349 --> 00:53:45.309
to tip toe around the
niceties of language.

1317
00:53:45.352 --> 00:53:47.354
Trump just ignored
all the playbook.

1318
00:53:47.398 --> 00:53:50.575
Trump just went, "No,
actually, I'm gonna be me.

1319
00:53:50.618 --> 00:53:53.447
For better or for worse,
I'm gonna to be authentic."

1320
00:53:53.491 --> 00:53:56.972
- And that was tremendously
attractive to an audience,

1321
00:53:57.016 --> 00:54:00.106
and I think a country, that
is perhaps rightly tired

1322
00:54:00.149 --> 00:54:02.456
of politicians who seem bound

1323
00:54:02.500 --> 00:54:05.372
by what they considered
political correctness

1324
00:54:05.416 --> 00:54:07.809
in not saying those things.

1325
00:54:07.853 --> 00:54:10.856
[audience cheering]

1326
00:54:13.424 --> 00:54:16.035
- What happens with Trump

1327
00:54:16.078 --> 00:54:20.474
is that he uses the same
method over and over again

1328
00:54:20.518 --> 00:54:22.171
until it fails.

1329
00:54:22.215 --> 00:54:26.219
And in the primaries, he
discovered that it didn't fail.

1330
00:54:26.263 --> 00:54:30.049
- An outsider who read the
mood of Republican voters

1331
00:54:30.092 --> 00:54:32.878
better than anyone
now controls a party

1332
00:54:32.921 --> 00:54:35.446
that fought him every
step of the way.

1333
00:54:35.489 --> 00:54:38.144
This evening, his last
opponent dropped out,

1334
00:54:38.187 --> 00:54:40.146
ensuring that Donald Trump

1335
00:54:40.189 --> 00:54:43.802
will be the party's first
nominee since Eisenhower

1336
00:54:43.845 --> 00:54:46.326
to run with no
political experience.

1337
00:54:46.370 --> 00:54:50.330
- I saw an organization
that was the most pathetic

1338
00:54:50.374 --> 00:54:53.028
of anything I've ever
seen in American politics.

1339
00:54:53.942 --> 00:54:55.901
His polling operation was weak.

1340
00:54:55.944 --> 00:54:59.078
His grassroots was
almost non-existent.

1341
00:54:59.121 --> 00:55:01.950
They refused to spend
money for advertising.

1342
00:55:01.994 --> 00:55:05.214
All the elements of what you
spend or invest in the campaign

1343
00:55:05.258 --> 00:55:06.564
were not happening.

1344
00:55:06.607 --> 00:55:11.046
- We hit the 1237, right? 1237.

1345
00:55:11.090 --> 00:55:13.222
- [Reporter] Trump celebrated
the victory tonight

1346
00:55:13.266 --> 00:55:14.615
with McDonald's.

1347
00:55:14.659 --> 00:55:16.530
- Here I am, watching
Hillary fight,

1348
00:55:16.574 --> 00:55:18.445
and she can't close the deal.

1349
00:55:18.489 --> 00:55:20.926
And that should be such
an easy deal to close.

1350
00:55:20.969 --> 00:55:23.363
It could be we're gonna
run against Crazy Bernie.

1351
00:55:23.407 --> 00:55:24.321
That could be big.

1352
00:55:24.364 --> 00:55:25.147
[audience booing]

1353
00:55:25.191 --> 00:55:26.671
Could be Crazy Bernie.

1354
00:55:26.714 --> 00:55:29.935
He's a crazy man, but that's
okay. We like crazy people.

1355
00:55:29.978 --> 00:55:32.633
- Certainly, great
politicians master new media.

1356
00:55:32.677 --> 00:55:34.896
Right, so, FDR was
the king of radio.

1357
00:55:34.940 --> 00:55:37.116
JFK used TV.

1358
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:39.814
Obama used the internet
and nascent social networks

1359
00:55:39.858 --> 00:55:42.991
very well, but
Trump and Twitter,

1360
00:55:43.035 --> 00:55:46.821
it was a particularly
powerful, toxic combination.

1361
00:55:46.865 --> 00:55:50.608
- Well, I think Twitter is
a unique kind of network

1362
00:55:50.651 --> 00:55:53.828
in that it brings
together a social network

1363
00:55:53.872 --> 00:55:55.221
and a broadcast network.

1364
00:55:55.264 --> 00:55:56.614
[intriguing electronic music]

1365
00:55:56.657 --> 00:55:58.137
You have millions of followers,

1366
00:55:58.180 --> 00:56:00.531
you're effectively
a broadcaster.

1367
00:56:00.574 --> 00:56:03.838
And these two modes interact.

1368
00:56:05.579 --> 00:56:07.712
Sometimes a tweet goes viral,

1369
00:56:07.755 --> 00:56:11.455
where eventually millions or
tens of millions of people

1370
00:56:11.498 --> 00:56:13.413
will see that one message.

1371
00:56:13.457 --> 00:56:15.633
- It was his
understanding of Twitter

1372
00:56:15.676 --> 00:56:18.940
and how to make that
entire platform his,

1373
00:56:18.984 --> 00:56:22.335
in a way that creates direct
intimacy with his supporters.

1374
00:56:22.379 --> 00:56:24.772
It was unbelievable,
what he was doing.

1375
00:56:24.816 --> 00:56:27.122
And I recognized
that immediately.

1376
00:56:27.166 --> 00:56:29.690
It was like I was
sitting there going...

1377
00:56:29.734 --> 00:56:33.346
almost reverential,
like, "Oh my gosh!"

1378
00:56:33.390 --> 00:56:36.218
- It was Mr. Trump himself

1379
00:56:36.262 --> 00:56:40.571
who drove that social
media platform train

1380
00:56:40.614 --> 00:56:43.443
by directly communicating
with the people,

1381
00:56:43.487 --> 00:56:46.272
and the media had to cover
the candidates' tweets.

1382
00:56:46.315 --> 00:56:48.274
- Matt, I want to put up that
tweet again this morning,

1383
00:56:48.317 --> 00:56:50.494
of course tweeting,
"I love Hispanics."

1384
00:56:50.537 --> 00:56:52.365
- I want you to look at this
graphic of one of his tweets.

1385
00:56:52.409 --> 00:56:53.627
I'm sure that you
have seen this.

1386
00:56:53.671 --> 00:56:57.152
A star that is the shape
of the Star of David.

1387
00:56:57.196 --> 00:56:59.938
- Donald Trump very
successfully used

1388
00:56:59.981 --> 00:57:03.289
not only Twitter as a
tool in and of itself

1389
00:57:03.332 --> 00:57:06.118
but Twitter as a tool
to disrupt legacy media.

1390
00:57:06.161 --> 00:57:08.076
- I would be on a live TV
set, and I'd be mid-sentence,

1391
00:57:08.120 --> 00:57:10.427
they'd be like, "Hold on,
Kellyanne, breaking news."

1392
00:57:10.470 --> 00:57:11.819
And I'd say, "Oh, God
forbid, what happened?"

1393
00:57:11.863 --> 00:57:14.735
And they'd say, "Your
boss, your candidate

1394
00:57:14.779 --> 00:57:16.215
just tweeted the following..."

1395
00:57:16.258 --> 00:57:17.738
And I'd look at it, and they'd
ask me to comment on it.

1396
00:57:17.782 --> 00:57:21.438
But he literally would
make news instantaneously.

1397
00:57:21.481 --> 00:57:23.962
- And maybe a lot of that
innermost decision-making

1398
00:57:24.005 --> 00:57:26.573
and kind of tuning of messaging

1399
00:57:26.617 --> 00:57:29.968
was happening by the
man himself, and...

1400
00:57:31.404 --> 00:57:36.409
and the speed and the agility
that you need to surf...

1401
00:57:37.541 --> 00:57:41.240
a near real-time medium,
which is what Twitter is,

1402
00:57:41.283 --> 00:57:43.634
that might be a huge
strategic advantage.

1403
00:57:43.677 --> 00:57:45.766
- I just can't think
of a worse candidate

1404
00:57:45.810 --> 00:57:47.159
in the Twitter era.

1405
00:57:47.202 --> 00:57:50.031
I mean, Hillary isn't like
a bite-sized candidate

1406
00:57:50.075 --> 00:57:52.991
who would just fire off things
without thinking about them.

1407
00:57:53.034 --> 00:57:54.949
And to her credit,
a lot of people

1408
00:57:54.993 --> 00:57:57.256
would like a president who puts
a lot of thought into things

1409
00:57:57.299 --> 00:57:59.824
before they release
them to the world.

1410
00:58:02.522 --> 00:58:06.178
There would be a whole team
to approve a simple tweet.

1411
00:58:07.309 --> 00:58:08.746
Ultimately that...

1412
00:58:08.789 --> 00:58:11.052
I think that people
saw that and could tell

1413
00:58:11.096 --> 00:58:15.492
a lack of spontaneity
or genuine emotion.

1414
00:58:15.535 --> 00:58:19.626
- I am honored to
be here amongst you

1415
00:58:19.670 --> 00:58:23.500
on behalf of what really
made this country great,

1416
00:58:23.543 --> 00:58:25.676
working people, men and women.

1417
00:58:26.677 --> 00:58:29.157
- The new currency...

1418
00:58:30.419 --> 00:58:34.119
that's rare and needed in
politics is no longer money.

1419
00:58:35.033 --> 00:58:37.862
It's attention. It's
name recognition.

1420
00:58:37.905 --> 00:58:39.472
That is the new currency.

1421
00:58:39.516 --> 00:58:44.216
And Hillary Clinton and Donald
Trump had oodles of that.

1422
00:58:44.259 --> 00:58:46.566
The difference is
how they used it.

1423
00:58:46.610 --> 00:58:48.350
[stark electronic music]

1424
00:58:48.394 --> 00:58:51.615
Hillary Clinton tried to
stay out of the spotlight,

1425
00:58:51.658 --> 00:58:54.139
away from interviews,
and just rest on the fact

1426
00:58:54.182 --> 00:58:56.358
that she had the biggest
brand in American politics.

1427
00:58:56.402 --> 00:58:58.665
- [Reporter]
Secretary Clinton...

1428
00:58:58.709 --> 00:59:00.275
we haven't heard
from you in a month.

1429
00:59:00.319 --> 00:59:03.061
- Yeah, maybe when I finished
talking to the people here.

1430
00:59:03.104 --> 00:59:04.628
How's that?

1431
00:59:04.671 --> 00:59:07.979
- She tried to walk in a parade.
To cordon off the press...

1432
00:59:08.022 --> 00:59:11.635
They were put in this
moving rope line.

1433
00:59:11.678 --> 00:59:13.637
- This is the worst
visual metaphor.

1434
00:59:13.680 --> 00:59:15.943
Before you could say she's
not talking to reporters,

1435
00:59:15.987 --> 00:59:17.554
but you can't cover not talking.

1436
00:59:17.597 --> 00:59:19.947
You can show this image over
and over again, and it's awful.

1437
00:59:19.991 --> 00:59:22.559
- Her press strategy was
essentially to ignore us.

1438
00:59:22.602 --> 00:59:24.778
She felt like the front runner

1439
00:59:24.822 --> 00:59:27.433
and didn't think that she
necessarily needed to talk

1440
00:59:27.476 --> 00:59:29.478
to the gaggle of reporters

1441
00:59:29.522 --> 00:59:32.743
who traveled with her
everywhere, covering

1442
00:59:32.786 --> 00:59:35.136
- I am so happy to have
all of you with me!

1443
00:59:35.180 --> 00:59:36.268
- [Reporter] Have you missed us?

1444
00:59:36.311 --> 00:59:38.400
- I've been just
waiting for this moment!

1445
00:59:38.444 --> 00:59:40.489
- The relationship between
the Clinton campaign

1446
00:59:40.533 --> 00:59:43.188
and the press is just
hostile on both sides.

1447
00:59:43.231 --> 00:59:44.972
And it's early for that.

1448
00:59:45.016 --> 00:59:46.844
- She gave very few interviews.

1449
00:59:46.887 --> 00:59:50.238
She did almost no print
interviews that I'm aware of

1450
00:59:50.282 --> 00:59:51.892
before the general election.

1451
00:59:51.936 --> 00:59:54.416
- The criticism is directed at
the Clinton campaign on this.

1452
00:59:54.460 --> 00:59:56.897
We're trying to wrap
her in bubble wrap

1453
00:59:56.941 --> 00:59:58.333
this entire campaign

1454
00:59:58.377 --> 01:00:01.423
and not let her actually
associate with real people.

1455
01:00:01.467 --> 01:00:03.774
- Nobody wanted any kind
of moment to go wrong

1456
01:00:03.817 --> 01:00:05.471
and go viral and look bad.

1457
01:00:05.514 --> 01:00:07.865
And so I think there
was an extreme caution

1458
01:00:07.908 --> 01:00:11.956
that prohibited her from
having more of those moments

1459
01:00:11.999 --> 01:00:13.914
that could have
ultimately helped her.

1460
01:00:15.699 --> 01:00:19.746
- We saw a systematic
difference between members

1461
01:00:19.790 --> 01:00:23.271
of the what we call Trump
tribe and Clinton tribe.

1462
01:00:23.315 --> 01:00:27.188
just more retweets, more tweets,
more replies, more activity

1463
01:00:28.363 --> 01:00:32.672
per account from the Trump
tribe versus the Clinton tribe.

1464
01:00:32.716 --> 01:00:34.892
And so we describe
that as a passion gap.

1465
01:00:36.154 --> 01:00:38.678
And at some point, you know,
someone on our team said,

1466
01:00:38.722 --> 01:00:42.639
"It's almost like there's
a public awakening."

1467
01:00:42.682 --> 01:00:45.467
We're seeing something happening

1468
01:00:45.511 --> 01:00:48.993
in the nature of the
conversation where...

1469
01:00:50.429 --> 01:00:55.434
Donald Trump seems like a
far more serious possibility

1470
01:00:56.130 --> 01:01:00.308
than the polling numbers or
anything else would indicate.

1471
01:01:00.352 --> 01:01:02.659
- I think that the key
is that Donald Trump's

1472
01:01:02.702 --> 01:01:04.791
defiant authenticity resonated,

1473
01:01:04.835 --> 01:01:07.141
and that's something I
think all politicians

1474
01:01:07.185 --> 01:01:08.273
can learn from.

1475
01:01:08.316 --> 01:01:09.970
That doesn't mean simply play

1476
01:01:10.014 --> 01:01:11.798
to the lowest common
denominator every day,

1477
01:01:11.842 --> 01:01:13.191
But it does mean,
for God's sakes,

1478
01:01:13.234 --> 01:01:15.497
be yourself and talk like
a goddamn human being.

1479
01:01:16.847 --> 01:01:18.675
- What's what's something that
you always carry with you?

1480
01:01:18.718 --> 01:01:19.588
- Hot sauce.

1481
01:01:20.546 --> 01:01:21.329
- Really?

1482
01:01:21.373 --> 01:01:22.156
- Yeah. Yeah.

1483
01:01:22.200 --> 01:01:23.375
- Really?

1484
01:01:23.418 --> 01:01:24.681
- Are you getting in
formation right now?

1485
01:01:24.724 --> 01:01:25.507
[laughing]

1486
01:01:25.551 --> 01:01:26.378
- Hot sauce?

1487
01:01:26.421 --> 01:01:28.728
- Hot sauce in my bag swag?

1488
01:01:28.772 --> 01:01:29.598
- Hot sauce.

1489
01:01:29.642 --> 01:01:30.730
- Really?
- Yes!

1490
01:01:30.774 --> 01:01:31.775
- Now, listen, I
want you to know

1491
01:01:31.818 --> 01:01:32.993
people are gonna
see this and say,

1492
01:01:33.037 --> 01:01:34.081
"Okay, she's pandering
to black people."

1493
01:01:34.125 --> 01:01:36.649
[laughing]

1494
01:01:36.693 --> 01:01:37.955
- Okay.

1495
01:01:37.998 --> 01:01:39.217
Is it working?

1496
01:01:39.260 --> 01:01:42.089
[laughing]

1497
01:01:42.133 --> 01:01:46.267
- Don't forget what a terrible
campaign Hillary Clinton ran.

1498
01:01:47.225 --> 01:01:49.662
Her campaign, to this day,

1499
01:01:49.706 --> 01:01:51.664
nobody can remember
a thing about it.

1500
01:01:51.708 --> 01:01:53.057
- [Interviewer] A
quick soundcheck.

1501
01:01:53.100 --> 01:01:56.190
What was written on Donald
Trump's baseball cap?

1502
01:01:56.234 --> 01:01:57.757
- "Make America great again".

1503
01:01:57.801 --> 01:02:01.065
- Make America great again.
- Make America great again.

1504
01:02:01.108 --> 01:02:02.501
- Oh, make America great again?

1505
01:02:02.544 --> 01:02:04.938
- [Interviewer] What was
Hillary's campaign slogan?

1506
01:02:04.982 --> 01:02:07.506
- I'm still trying
to figure it out.

1507
01:02:07.549 --> 01:02:08.594
- Ready for Hillary?

1508
01:02:08.637 --> 01:02:09.421
I don't know.

1509
01:02:09.464 --> 01:02:10.509
- I don't remember.

1510
01:02:11.423 --> 01:02:12.772
- Together?

1511
01:02:12.816 --> 01:02:14.121
Forward together?

1512
01:02:14.165 --> 01:02:15.644
- I don't know.

1513
01:02:15.688 --> 01:02:17.777
- Oh, I don't actually know
what it said on her plane.

1514
01:02:17.821 --> 01:02:19.257
What was her slogan?

1515
01:02:19.300 --> 01:02:21.955
- And she had "stronger
together", whatever that means.

1516
01:02:21.999 --> 01:02:23.870
- On one point,
being this well-known

1517
01:02:23.914 --> 01:02:26.786
made it hard for her campaign
to craft a narrative,

1518
01:02:26.830 --> 01:02:28.788
but it also made it
just hard for Hillary.

1519
01:02:28.832 --> 01:02:32.226
I mean, she's lived in this
cloistered, rarefied world

1520
01:02:32.270 --> 01:02:33.532
for a very long time.

1521
01:02:33.575 --> 01:02:35.403
And so, to emerge
from that world

1522
01:02:35.447 --> 01:02:38.058
and try to really
connect to voters

1523
01:02:38.102 --> 01:02:42.236
suffering in these steel
towns where Trumpism took hold

1524
01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:44.325
I think was very difficult.

1525
01:02:44.369 --> 01:02:45.587
The sounds so old school,

1526
01:02:45.631 --> 01:02:47.938
but we wouldn't see
any Hillary yard signs.

1527
01:02:47.981 --> 01:02:49.766
You saw a ton of
Trump yard signs.

1528
01:02:49.809 --> 01:02:52.812
[anxious music]

1529
01:02:52.856 --> 01:02:55.946
- I never got the sense that
they had really captured

1530
01:02:55.989 --> 01:02:58.731
the energy of people out there,

1531
01:02:58.775 --> 01:03:00.472
connected with them in that way.

1532
01:03:00.515 --> 01:03:02.648
Often you get a sense
that a candidate

1533
01:03:02.691 --> 01:03:07.696
will fight for every inch, and
she just never exuded that.

1534
01:03:08.523 --> 01:03:11.004
- It was all bullshit.

1535
01:03:11.048 --> 01:03:12.876
It was all sloganeering.

1536
01:03:14.703 --> 01:03:16.836
- I'm just chilling
in Cedar Rapids.

1537
01:03:16.880 --> 01:03:19.317
I try to figure
out how we get them

1538
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.450
to have Pokemon Go-to-the-polls.

1539
01:03:22.494 --> 01:03:24.322
[audience laughing]

1540
01:03:24.365 --> 01:03:27.760
[audience cheering]

1541
01:03:27.804 --> 01:03:29.414
- I think just viscerally

1542
01:03:29.457 --> 01:03:32.330
she missed the anger that had
taken root in the electorate.

1543
01:03:32.373 --> 01:03:35.855
- Secretary Clinton does
represent the establishment.

1544
01:03:35.899 --> 01:03:38.815
I represent, I hope,
ordinary Americans

1545
01:03:38.858 --> 01:03:41.818
and, by the way who are
not all that enamored

1546
01:03:41.861 --> 01:03:43.341
with the establishment.

1547
01:03:43.384 --> 01:03:45.430
- It's always been the case,
going back to 2008, even,

1548
01:03:45.473 --> 01:03:48.172
that Hillary Clinton just
wasn't an inspirational figure,

1549
01:03:48.215 --> 01:03:49.826
whether it was her
speaking ability,

1550
01:03:49.869 --> 01:03:51.131
whether it was her record,

1551
01:03:51.175 --> 01:03:55.005
whether it was the
way she saw the world.

1552
01:03:55.048 --> 01:03:56.658
It was an issue
that her campaign

1553
01:03:56.702 --> 01:03:58.312
was in complete denial about.

1554
01:03:58.356 --> 01:04:01.185
They thought it was
Bernie who convinced

1555
01:04:01.228 --> 01:04:04.188
a lot of left-leaning
people not to like Hillary.

1556
01:04:04.231 --> 01:04:06.103
But in fact, this
was just a fact

1557
01:04:06.146 --> 01:04:08.453
that Sanders and his
campaign saw and exploited.

1558
01:04:08.496 --> 01:04:10.194
It was a preexisting
condition for Hillary

1559
01:04:10.237 --> 01:04:12.109
that people just
didn't really like her.

1560

[anxious music]

1561
01:04:16.504 --> 01:04:21.466
- We have won, at this point,
45% of pledge delegates.

1562
01:04:22.336 --> 01:04:25.731
But we have only earned
7% of superdelegates.

[crowd booing]

1564
01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:34.000
So in other words, the
way the system works

1565
01:04:34.044 --> 01:04:37.134
is you have
establishment candidates

1566
01:04:37.177 --> 01:04:39.919
who win virtually all
of the superdelegates.

1567
01:04:39.963 --> 01:04:41.965
- NBC News is now
declaring Hillary Clinton

1568
01:04:42.008 --> 01:04:43.749
the presumptive
Democratic nominee.

I went down to the protests,

1572
01:04:55.413 --> 01:04:57.545
the Bernie or Bust protests.

1573

01:04:59.460 --> 01:05:00.766
Kids from all over the country,

1575
01:05:00.809 --> 01:05:02.420
people in their teens and 20s,

1576
01:05:02.463 --> 01:05:05.423
who said the Democratic Party
has lost me for a generation,

1577
01:05:05.466 --> 01:05:06.772
I don't have something
to believe in

1578
01:05:06.815 --> 01:05:08.687
if Bernie is not on
top of the ticket.

1579
01:05:09.688 --> 01:05:11.168
- [Protestors] We
won't vote for Hillary!

1580
01:05:11.211 --> 01:05:12.996
- [Reporter] Many Sanders
backers just aren't willing

1581
01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:14.301
to shift their loyalties

1582
01:05:14.345 --> 01:05:16.825
from the U.S. Senator's
progressive platform.

1583
01:05:16.869 --> 01:05:19.089
- I mean, that was
a tense convention.

1584
01:05:19.132 --> 01:05:20.960
- Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine

1585
01:05:21.004 --> 01:05:23.484
want to build an economy
that works for everyone...

- If I didn't know any
better, I would have thought

1591
01:05:39.674 --> 01:05:41.198
I was at Bernie Sanders'
convention last night.

1592
01:05:41.241 --> 01:05:42.634
It rose to the rafters.

[crowd booing]

1594
01:05:48.031 --> 01:05:50.642
- There was a sense that the DNC

1595
01:05:50.685 --> 01:05:53.775
had kind of tilted the
table in her favor,

1596
01:05:53.819 --> 01:05:55.647
there hadn't really
been a fair contest

1597
01:05:55.690 --> 01:05:57.431
between Hillary and Bernie.

1598
01:05:57.475 --> 01:05:58.998
- There's no
question to my mind,

1599
01:05:59.042 --> 01:06:02.306
and I think no question to
any objective observer's mind,

1600
01:06:02.349 --> 01:06:05.265
that the DNC was
supporting Hillary Clinton

1601
01:06:05.309 --> 01:06:07.964
and was in opposition
to our campaign.

1602
01:06:08.007 --> 01:06:09.313
- Rigged! Rigged!

1603
01:06:09.356 --> 01:06:11.010
Remember hashtag rigged?

1604
01:06:11.054 --> 01:06:14.057
How offensive to
say it was rigged.

1605
01:06:14.100 --> 01:06:18.452
How dare you say that our
democracy could be rigged?

1606
01:06:18.496 --> 01:06:20.150
How dare you say that?

1607
01:06:20.193 --> 01:06:21.673
And, it was rigged.

1608
01:06:21.716 --> 01:06:24.197
- I actually think Hillary
and some of her top advisors

1609
01:06:24.241 --> 01:06:26.808
are more angry at Bernie Sanders
than they are Donald Trump.

1610
01:06:26.852 --> 01:06:29.550
They thought that he gave her
sort of a lukewarm endorsement

1611
01:06:29.594 --> 01:06:31.117
when he finally
got around to it.

1612
01:06:31.161 --> 01:06:34.294
- And I move that Hillary
Clinton be selected

1613
01:06:34.338 --> 01:06:37.384
as the nominee of
the Democratic Party

1614
01:06:37.428 --> 01:06:39.604

the United States

[audience cheering]

1616
01:06:41.649 --> 01:06:45.697
- Senator Sanders has moved
in the spirit of unity

1617
01:06:45.740 --> 01:06:47.481
to suspend the rules.

1618
01:06:51.703 --> 01:06:54.662
- Bernie Sanders lit
the place on fire.

1619
01:06:54.706 --> 01:06:58.101
I mean, he came out of
nowhere and God bless him.

1620
01:06:59.972 --> 01:07:01.234
Bernie was an Independent.

1621
01:07:01.278 --> 01:07:03.062
He agreed to run in
Democratic primaries,

1622
01:07:03.106 --> 01:07:04.977
but he was an Independent.

1623
01:07:05.021 --> 01:07:07.545
And of course there are
going to be associations

1624
01:07:07.588 --> 01:07:10.504
and friendships and loyalty
built up to somebody

1625
01:07:10.548 --> 01:07:12.985
who's been a Democrat
their whole life.

1626
01:07:13.029 --> 01:07:14.378
- That's why you're
an insurgent.

1627
01:07:14.421 --> 01:07:17.250
You're an insurgent because
there's a status quo

1628
01:07:17.294 --> 01:07:18.643
establishment in the party,

1629
01:07:18.686 --> 01:07:20.688
and there's an
establishment candidate.

1630
01:07:21.863 --> 01:07:26.868
- And so, my friends, it is
with humility, determination,

1631
01:07:27.826 --> 01:07:31.786
and boundless confidence
in America's promise

1632
01:07:31.830 --> 01:07:35.138
that I accept your nomination

1635
01:07:39.490 --> 01:07:41.535

matched up with the mood

of the electorate
particularly badly.

1637
01:07:44.277 --> 01:07:46.627
A lot of people felt
the system was rigged,

1638
01:07:46.671 --> 01:07:49.021
and the Clintons, for
many people, and fairly,

1639
01:07:49.065 --> 01:07:51.023
were a symbol of
a rigged system.

1640
01:07:51.067 --> 01:07:54.287
- And so, you put
all that together,

1641
01:07:54.331 --> 01:07:56.681
you have a real big
problem for Hillary Clinton

1642
01:07:56.724 --> 01:07:59.771
going into that election
with a divided party

1643
01:07:59.814 --> 01:08:01.816
and an arrogant campaign

1644
01:08:01.860 --> 01:08:03.688
that believed it
could not be defeated.

I knew he wanted to

I knew he wanted to do
that. That was clear.

stay the whole way

1654

did not decide he really
wanted to be president

until he turned to
face Hillary Clinton.

terrorism, and weakness

01:09:19.633 --> 01:09:20.895
Why?

01:09:20.939 --> 01:09:22.506
Because I might be able
to get you to stay home

1673
01:09:22.549 --> 01:09:24.812
instead of voting
for Hillary Clinton.

1674
01:09:24.856 --> 01:09:27.554
- Hillary Clinton was
a perfect foil for him.

1675
01:09:27.598 --> 01:09:30.253
She embodied, or could
be made to embody,

1676

everything that he
said he was against.

1677
01:09:33.299 --> 01:09:34.996
And some of this was
just Trump's gut.

1678
01:09:36.128 --> 01:09:39.871
And some of this is Steve
Bannon and Kellyanne Conway

1679
01:09:39.914 --> 01:09:44.789
and others building an
actual, coherent worldview

1680

around Trump's gut.

1681
01:09:48.967 --> 01:09:51.491
- I always knew Hillary Clinton
could lose the election,

1682
01:09:51.535 --> 01:09:52.971
which is one way of
answering the question

1683

of when I thought Donald
Trump could win the election.

- [Reporter] Down the
stretch they come.

1685
01:09:56.540 --> 01:09:57.845
We've been talking
about Hillary Clinton

He struggles with minorities.

- [Reporter] Mr.
Trump, with the support

1690
01:10:03.024 --> 01:10:05.810
of 2% of African
American voters.

1691
01:10:05.853 --> 01:10:10.467
- By the time I came on board,
we were down in the polls.

1692
01:10:10.510 --> 01:10:13.165
I said we're way behind,
the window's closing,

1693
01:10:13.209 --> 01:10:13.992
but it's still open.

1694
01:10:14.035 --> 01:10:14.906
We're way behind.

1695
01:10:14.949 --> 01:10:16.690
And he said, oh, the polls.

1696
01:10:16.734 --> 01:10:19.040
And I said, I looked at the
polls, and she's winning,

1697
01:10:19.084 --> 01:10:20.999
but she doesn't
have to. You can.

1698
01:10:21.042 --> 01:10:23.088
- She had a lot more paths
to victory than he did.

1699
01:10:23.131 --> 01:10:25.873
- He can win Florida, he
can win North Carolina,

1700
01:10:25.917 --> 01:10:29.529
and he can win Ohio
and still be short.

1701
01:10:29.573 --> 01:10:31.052
That's important.

1702
01:10:31.096 --> 01:10:34.317
He can win Arizona and still
be short. He can win Utah.

1703
01:10:34.360 --> 01:10:36.841
- And then, even then,
he's gotta go and get

1704
01:10:36.884 --> 01:10:39.626
maybe it's a Michigan
or a Wisconsin

1705
01:10:39.670 --> 01:10:41.193
to put him over the top.

1706
01:10:41.237 --> 01:10:44.631
- A normal Republican can
not take your terms, frankly,

1707
01:10:44.675 --> 01:10:46.459
I hate to say this,
cannot think in terms

1708
01:10:46.503 --> 01:10:47.591
of bringing in Michigan.

1709
01:10:47.634 --> 01:10:50.463

So, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania.

1714
01:11:04.085 --> 01:11:06.218

out of Pennsylvania.

- This is industrial.
This is blue collar.

1719
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:18.143
There are a lot of towns

1720
01:11:18.186 --> 01:11:21.973
that have been hurt
by globalization.

1721
01:11:22.016 --> 01:11:24.018
- We talked a lot about the
white working-class vote,

1722
01:11:24.062 --> 01:11:26.151
particularly white
working-class men

1723
01:11:26.194 --> 01:11:27.631
in those Rust Belt states.

1724
01:11:27.674 --> 01:11:29.720
Hillary is notably
weak with these voters,

1725
01:11:29.763 --> 01:11:32.157
losing them by as much
as two-to-one or more,

1726
01:11:32.200 --> 01:11:34.333
10 to 15 points weaker
than Barack Obama

1727
01:11:34.377 --> 01:11:35.726
with white, working-class men.

1728
01:11:35.769 --> 01:11:37.293
- We were competing in states

1729
01:11:37.336 --> 01:11:40.861
that Obama-Biden
had carried twice.

1730
01:11:42.515 --> 01:11:46.867
But had also elected a
Republican statewide as senator

1731
01:11:46.911 --> 01:11:48.652
and/or governor in the interim,

1732
01:11:48.695 --> 01:11:51.437
and where Hillary Clinton
had never gotten to 50%

1733
01:11:51.481 --> 01:11:53.134
and stayed there for very long.

1734
01:11:53.178 --> 01:11:56.747
- Hillary Clinton just
didn't go to these states.

1735
01:11:56.790 --> 01:11:59.793
She was hanging out
in places like Arizona

1736
01:11:59.837 --> 01:12:02.405
and Texas, inexplicably.

1737
01:12:02.448 --> 01:12:04.581
- When your allies are
putting a lot of effort

1738
01:12:04.624 --> 01:12:08.889
into red states right
now, Arizona, Utah,

1739
01:12:08.933 --> 01:12:10.978
you're doing this even though
it's still neck-and-neck

1740
01:12:11.022 --> 01:12:13.198
in a lot of the traditional
battleground states,

1741
01:12:13.241 --> 01:12:15.983
Ohio and Iowa, Florida.

1742
01:12:16.027 --> 01:12:17.985
Are you guys getting
over-confident?

1743
01:12:18.029 --> 01:12:19.378
- There's a special opportunity

1744
01:12:19.422 --> 01:12:21.337
that popped up late in Arizona.

1745
01:12:21.380 --> 01:12:22.729
It is possible to win it.

1746
01:12:24.340 --> 01:12:27.168
- Arizona has not, 12 of the
past 13 presidential elections,

1747
01:12:27.212 --> 01:12:28.692
has not voted for a Democrat.

1748
01:12:28.735 --> 01:12:30.650
And so you saw this
extreme confidence

1749
01:12:30.694 --> 01:12:33.131
on the part of the campaign
that they could expand the map,

1750
01:12:33.174 --> 01:12:35.046
that they could
bring in new voters

1751
01:12:35.089 --> 01:12:36.917
in places like
Arizona and Georgia

1752
01:12:36.961 --> 01:12:39.137
that are sort of going purple.

1753
01:12:39.180 --> 01:12:43.010
- While Donald Trump
is up in these states,

1754
01:12:43.054 --> 01:12:46.318
saying I'm gonna make
America great again.

1755
01:12:46.362 --> 01:12:49.365
[somber music]

1756
01:12:49.408 --> 01:12:52.237
- In August, after she
had a 10-point lead

1757
01:12:52.280 --> 01:12:54.979
after her convention, after
a successful convention,

1758
01:12:55.022 --> 01:12:57.851
she basically disappeared in
the Hamptons to fundraise.

1759
01:12:59.679 --> 01:13:01.289
Her campaign would get
very defensive about this:

1760
01:13:01.333 --> 01:13:03.640
we need money, we need a lot
of money to go against Trump.

1761
01:13:03.683 --> 01:13:06.338
But every single day,
Trump was doing rallies.

1762
01:13:06.382 --> 01:13:07.557
[jet whooshing]

1763
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:09.472
[stark electronic music]

1764
01:13:09.515 --> 01:13:13.040
Then she re-emerged Labor
Day, and she was sick,

1765
01:13:13.084 --> 01:13:15.434
and she just had sort
of a string of bad luck.

1766
01:13:15.478 --> 01:13:17.784
- I think that was a very
troubling moment for her.

1767
01:13:17.828 --> 01:13:19.743
That was her worst
weekend in many ways.

1768
01:13:19.786 --> 01:13:22.572
September 11th, very
early in the morning,

1769
01:13:22.615 --> 01:13:24.574
she had her spill.

1770
01:13:24.617 --> 01:13:27.141
[tense music]

1771
01:13:30.318 --> 01:13:34.061
- She's supposed to fight all
of these different things,

1772
01:13:34.105 --> 01:13:36.586
and she can't make it
15 feet to her car.

1773
01:13:36.629 --> 01:13:39.066
Give me a break.
Give me a break.

1774
01:13:39.110 --> 01:13:42.113
[audience cheering]

1775
01:13:46.813 --> 01:13:48.336
- Thank God she was
okay health-wise.

1776
01:13:48.380 --> 01:13:50.469
But the worst thing for
her was two days earlier,

1777
01:13:50.513 --> 01:13:52.471
when she was caught on tape.

1778
01:13:52.515 --> 01:13:56.040
You know, to just be
grossly generalistic,

1779
01:13:57.345 --> 01:13:59.957
you could put half
of Trump's supporters

1780
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:02.263
into what I call the
basket of deplorables.

1781
01:14:02.307 --> 01:14:04.788
- Hillary Clinton
on Friday evening,

1782
01:14:04.831 --> 01:14:06.790
"basket of deplorables"
already entered

1783
01:14:06.833 --> 01:14:09.009
into the annals
of campaign flubs.

1784
01:14:09.053 --> 01:14:11.577
- They are not a
basket of anything.

1785
01:14:11.621 --> 01:14:15.886
They are Americans and
they deserve your respect.

1786
01:14:15.929 --> 01:14:18.671
- [Narrator] People
like you, you and you...

1787
01:14:18.715 --> 01:14:19.977
Deplorable.

1788
01:14:20.020 --> 01:14:21.544
You know what's deplorable?

1789
01:14:21.587 --> 01:14:24.068
Hillary Clinton
viciously demonizing

1790
01:14:24.111 --> 01:14:26.374
hardworking people like you.

1791
01:14:27.419 --> 01:14:31.379
- It as a reflection perfectly
of what the coastal elites

1792
01:14:31.423 --> 01:14:34.252
in the United States
feel about the people

1793
01:14:34.295 --> 01:14:37.777
trapped in the
working-class counties

1794
01:14:37.821 --> 01:14:39.300
and cities of the country

1795
01:14:39.344 --> 01:14:41.912
that have been decimated
by globalization.

1796
01:14:43.217 --> 01:14:47.439
- And it was like, wow, we
thought you thought that of us,

1797
01:14:47.483 --> 01:14:48.875
and now we know for sure.

1798
01:14:50.573 --> 01:14:52.618
[upbeat music]

1799
01:14:52.662 --> 01:14:55.665
[audience cheering]

1800
01:14:59.451 --> 01:15:01.540
- She is a really
gifted debater,

1801
01:15:01.584 --> 01:15:03.542
maybe one of the best
debaters we've seen

1802
01:15:03.586 --> 01:15:04.761
on a stage in a long time.

1803
01:15:04.804 --> 01:15:07.851
- Why won't he release
his tax returns?

1804
01:15:07.894 --> 01:15:10.114
And I think there may
be a couple of reasons.

1805
01:15:10.157 --> 01:15:13.857
First, maybe he's not as
rich as he says he is.

1806
01:15:13.900 --> 01:15:17.556
Second, maybe he's not as
charitable as he claims to be.

1807
01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:18.775
- We're gonna come up with
three or four clever things

1808
01:15:18.818 --> 01:15:21.125
that were gonna hit
Trump with tonight,

1809
01:15:21.168 --> 01:15:23.475
and you'll say them in
the following sequence.

1810
01:15:23.519 --> 01:15:26.609
- I call it Trumped
up trickle down,

1811
01:15:26.652 --> 01:15:28.567
because that's exactly
what it would be.

1812
01:15:28.611 --> 01:15:31.265
- And she was picking out
her outfit to look perfect.

1813
01:15:31.309 --> 01:15:33.703
- He's showing up with
a tie down to his ankle.

1814
01:15:33.746 --> 01:15:35.748
Give me the microphone.
I'm ready to go.

1815
01:15:35.792 --> 01:15:38.882
- I don't believe that
Hillary has the stamina.

1816
01:15:38.925 --> 01:15:39.709
- [Moderator] Let's
let her respond.

1817
01:15:39.752 --> 01:15:41.580
- Woo! Okay!

1818
01:15:41.624 --> 01:15:44.148
[audience laughing]

1819
01:15:44.191 --> 01:15:46.977
- He stood there,
waiting to be exposed.

1820
01:15:47.020 --> 01:15:49.980
- As soon as he travels
to 112 countries

1821
01:15:50.023 --> 01:15:53.766
and negotiates a peace
deal, a cease fire,

1822
01:15:53.810 --> 01:15:55.594
or even spends 11 hours

1823
01:15:55.638 --> 01:15:58.597
testifying in front of a
congressional committee,

1824
01:15:58.641 --> 01:16:00.904
he can talk to me about stamina.

1825
01:16:00.947 --> 01:16:02.558
- But Hillary invested a lot,

1826
01:16:02.601 --> 01:16:06.126
instead of doing rallies
that 20,000 people

1827
01:16:06.170 --> 01:16:07.998
on an amazing night would see,

1828
01:16:08.041 --> 01:16:12.002
how about we just bunker down
and invest in these debates?

1829
01:16:12.045 --> 01:16:14.613
- And I just left Detroit,
and I just left Philadelphia,

1830
01:16:14.657 --> 01:16:15.962
and I just, you
know, you've seen me,

1831
01:16:16.006 --> 01:16:17.485
I've been all over the place.

1832
01:16:18.530 --> 01:16:21.141
You decided to stay
home, and that's okay.

1833
01:16:21.185 --> 01:16:23.317
- I think Donald
just criticized me

1834
01:16:23.361 --> 01:16:26.103
for preparing for this debate.

1835
01:16:27.104 --> 01:16:28.235
And yes, I did.

1836
01:16:29.149 --> 01:16:30.760
And you know what
else I prepared for?

1837
01:16:30.803 --> 01:16:32.500
I prepared to be President.

1838
01:16:32.544 --> 01:16:34.241
And I think that's a good thing.

1839
01:16:34.285 --> 01:16:36.200
[audience applauding]

1840
01:16:36.243 --> 01:16:39.246
- I think the consensus was
that she won all of them.

1841
01:16:39.290 --> 01:16:42.119
- Did anybody see that
debate last night?

1842
01:16:42.162 --> 01:16:43.120
[audience cheering]

1843
01:16:43.163 --> 01:16:45.644
[somber music]

1844
01:16:45.688 --> 01:16:46.993
Oh!

1845
01:16:47.037 --> 01:16:47.951
Yes!

1846
01:16:50.040 --> 01:16:52.259
One down, two to go.

1847
01:16:52.303 --> 01:16:53.609
- I want a word or phrase

1848
01:16:53.652 --> 01:16:57.264
to describe Donald Trump's
performance tonight.

1849
01:16:57.308 --> 01:16:59.136
- Strong start, weak finish.

1850
01:16:59.179 --> 01:17:00.833
- Missed opportunities.

1851
01:17:00.877 --> 01:17:02.443
- Bombastic.

1852
01:17:02.487 --> 01:17:03.662
- Not presidential.

1853
01:17:03.706 --> 01:17:04.794
- Sloppy.

1854
01:17:04.837 --> 01:17:06.012
- I want a word or
phrase to describe

1855
01:17:06.056 --> 01:17:07.666
Hillary Clinton's performance.

1856
01:17:07.710 --> 01:17:08.624
- Prepared.

1857
01:17:08.667 --> 01:17:09.450
- Firm.

1858
01:17:09.494 --> 01:17:10.756
- Powerful.

1859
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:13.324
- I think she had one
of the best debate preps

1860
01:17:13.367 --> 01:17:15.021
that I have seen in
the last 25 years.

1861
01:17:15.065 --> 01:17:17.676
- I think she came
across more presidential.

1862
01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:18.721
- It seemed, for all the world,

1863
01:17:18.764 --> 01:17:20.548
like something of a victory lap.

1864
01:17:20.592 --> 01:17:21.941
- Yeah, and I think
Hillary Clinton

1865
01:17:21.985 --> 01:17:23.551
deserves a victory
lap this morning.

1866
01:17:23.595 --> 01:17:25.858
[crowd cheering]

1867
01:17:25.902 --> 01:17:27.468
- One history
professor, meanwhile,

1868
01:17:27.512 --> 01:17:30.036
says that Donald Trump will be

1869
01:17:30.080 --> 01:17:32.082
the next leader of our country.

1870
01:17:32.125 --> 01:17:34.693
- Professor Allan Lichtman
from American University,

1871
01:17:34.737 --> 01:17:36.347
good enough to join us now.

1872
01:17:37.304 --> 01:17:38.915
- I delivered my
Trump prediction

1873
01:17:38.958 --> 01:17:43.006
in a Washington Post
interview in September, 2016,

1874
01:17:43.049 --> 01:17:45.269
and people wondered if
I had gotten too old

1875
01:17:45.312 --> 01:17:46.879
and lost my sanity.

1876
01:17:46.923 --> 01:17:50.666
My system forgets the
pundits, forgets the polls,

1877
01:17:50.709 --> 01:17:53.712
does not look at the day-to-day
events of the campaign.

1878
01:17:53.756 --> 01:17:56.933
I don't look at debates.
I don't look at ads.

1879
01:17:56.976 --> 01:17:59.370
I don't look at campaign tricks.

1880
01:17:59.413 --> 01:18:01.720
And I predict
elections in advance.

1881
01:18:01.764 --> 01:18:04.288
In other words, I put
myself on the line

1882
01:18:04.331 --> 01:18:09.032
and have been doing so
successfully since 1984.

1883
01:18:09.075 --> 01:18:13.471
And for 32 years, everyone has
asked me the same question:

1884
01:18:13.514 --> 01:18:16.256
Couldn't there be
an October surprise?

1885
01:18:16.300 --> 01:18:19.129
Couldn't there be
something so extraordinary

1886
01:18:19.999 --> 01:18:21.740
that it could turn
around your prediction?

1887
01:18:21.784 --> 01:18:24.787
And there never has
been an October surprise

1888
01:18:24.830 --> 01:18:26.179
that's doomed a candidate.

1889
01:18:26.223 --> 01:18:28.704
Everybody talks about it,
but it's never happened.

1890
01:18:31.924 --> 01:18:35.014
[gentle vocal music]

1891
01:18:49.681 --> 01:18:51.683
- I just start kissing
them. It's like a magnet.

1892
01:18:51.727 --> 01:18:52.510
You just kiss.

1893
01:18:52.553 --> 01:18:53.337
[laughing]

1894
01:18:53.380 --> 01:18:54.599
I don't even wait.

1895
01:18:54.642 --> 01:18:56.035
And when you're a star,
they let you do it.

1896
01:18:56.079 --> 01:18:56.906
You can do anything.

1897
01:18:56.949 --> 01:18:57.776
- Whatever you want.

1898
01:18:57.820 --> 01:18:59.299
- Grab 'em by the pussy.

1899
01:18:59.343 --> 01:19:00.257
[laughing]

1900
01:19:00.300 --> 01:19:01.301
You can do anything.

1901
01:19:03.826 --> 01:19:06.959
- My assumption from the
bus is that he was done.

1902
01:19:07.003 --> 01:19:08.656
- A recording of Donald Trump,

1903
01:19:08.700 --> 01:19:11.050
made more than a decade
ago, has surfaced.

1904
01:19:11.094 --> 01:19:13.923
It is lewd, it is vulgar,
and we caution you,

1905
01:19:13.966 --> 01:19:16.012
you won't want young
children to hear it.

1906
01:19:16.055 --> 01:19:17.317
- Every single Republican

1907
01:19:17.361 --> 01:19:19.319
is going to have to
answer the question,

1908
01:19:19.363 --> 01:19:21.713
what did you do the
day you saw the tape

1909
01:19:21.757 --> 01:19:24.629
of this man boasting about
grabbing a woman's pussy?

1910
01:19:24.672 --> 01:19:25.456
Period!

1911
01:19:25.499 --> 01:19:26.631
- All right. We'll be-

1912
01:19:26.674 --> 01:19:27.458
Will you please stop
saying that word?

1913
01:19:27.501 --> 01:19:28.285
My daughter is listening.

1914
01:19:28.328 --> 01:19:31.505
[overlapping shouts]

1915
01:19:31.549 --> 01:19:33.072
Don't tell me you're
offended when I say pussy,

1916
01:19:33.116 --> 01:19:35.379
but you're not offended
when Donald Trump says it

1917
01:19:35.422 --> 01:19:36.684
- Exactly.
- I am very offended.

1918
01:19:36.728 --> 01:19:39.122
- What was your response
when you first heard it?

1919
01:19:39.165 --> 01:19:40.514
- Horrible remarks.

1920
01:19:40.558 --> 01:19:42.560
They're remarks you
certainly don't want to hear

1921
01:19:42.603 --> 01:19:44.997
from anyone, much less a
presidential candidate.

1922
01:19:46.259 --> 01:19:51.395
- This was a powerful individual
speaking freely and openly

1923
01:19:51.438 --> 01:19:53.789
about sexually
predatory behavior.

1924
01:19:53.832 --> 01:19:55.573
- I saw it, and I said
the election is over.

1925
01:19:55.616 --> 01:19:57.053
There's no way you
come back from this.

1926
01:19:57.096 --> 01:19:58.445
Folks are gonna stay home.

1927
01:19:58.489 --> 01:20:01.100
- This race is over

1928
01:20:01.144 --> 01:20:03.929
Tomorrow morning, the
money will dry up,

1929
01:20:03.973 --> 01:20:05.931
the Republicans
will start to hide.

1930
01:20:05.975 --> 01:20:08.847
[anxious music]

1931
01:20:08.891 --> 01:20:10.240
- One top Republican said to me,

1932
01:20:10.283 --> 01:20:12.633
we're gonna to see the
fastest cut and run

1933
01:20:12.677 --> 01:20:14.331
in American political history.

1934
01:20:14.374 --> 01:20:17.160
- I'm not sure of the Republican
party's gonna survive.

1935
01:20:17.203 --> 01:20:20.337
- The fundraisers, the donors,
they're all walking away.

1936
01:20:20.380 --> 01:20:24.254
- I'm out. I can no longer
endorse Donald Donald Trump.

1937
01:20:24.297 --> 01:20:26.299
- I think Donald Trump
should step aside,

1938
01:20:26.343 --> 01:20:28.214
which I've been asked
many times today.

1939
01:20:28.258 --> 01:20:29.085
Yes, I do.

1940
01:20:30.651 --> 01:20:33.829
- I passed and a TV...

1941
01:20:33.872 --> 01:20:36.309
that literally said Trump's
female campaign manager

1942
01:20:36.353 --> 01:20:37.702
expected to quit.

1943
01:20:37.745 --> 01:20:39.530
You know, she's got
four young children.

1944
01:20:39.573 --> 01:20:43.316
She's a devout Catholic.
There's no way she can stay.

1945
01:20:43.360 --> 01:20:45.405
- How she stood up
there and defended him

1946
01:20:45.449 --> 01:20:47.451
when nobody else was
willing to do so.

1947
01:20:47.494 --> 01:20:51.237
- This is suggesting
sexual assault, and-

1948
01:20:51.281 --> 01:20:52.804
- That's a very
unfortunate phrase,

1949
01:20:52.848 --> 01:20:54.284
and people really
should stop using that.

1950
01:20:54.327 --> 01:20:55.633
- Why?

1951
01:20:55.676 --> 01:20:57.156
- Because I know him
better, and I know better.

1952
01:20:57.200 --> 01:20:58.375
- But it's what he said.

1953
01:20:58.418 --> 01:20:59.680
- He did not say the
word sexual assault.

1954
01:20:59.724 --> 01:21:00.812
- No.

1955
01:21:00.856 --> 01:21:02.422
- And I remember
watching her, thinking,

1956
01:21:02.466 --> 01:21:04.903
A, that's a very courageous
thing for a woman to be doing;

1957
01:21:04.947 --> 01:21:07.123
secondly, it was
really helping him.

1958
01:21:07.166 --> 01:21:10.778
It managed to take the
sting out of the tail.

1959
01:21:10.822 --> 01:21:14.043
- Nobody was saying,
oh, it's nothing.

1960
01:21:14.086 --> 01:21:15.827
- [Reporter] This was
locker room banter,

1961
01:21:15.871 --> 01:21:17.437
I apologize for it.

1962
01:21:18.874 --> 01:21:20.788
- Mr. Trump apologized for it.

1963
01:21:20.832 --> 01:21:22.268
He spoke about it.

1964
01:21:22.312 --> 01:21:24.270
- I've never said
I'm a perfect person

1965
01:21:24.314 --> 01:21:26.794
nor pretended to be
someone that I'm not.

1966
01:21:26.838 --> 01:21:30.233
I've said some foolish things,
but there's a big difference

1967
01:21:30.276 --> 01:21:33.453
between the words and
actions of other people.

1968
01:21:33.497 --> 01:21:36.065
Bill Clinton has
actually abused women.

1969
01:21:36.108 --> 01:21:38.632
- And I felt it was
really important

1970
01:21:38.676 --> 01:21:42.636
for us to talk about what he
would do for you as president,

1971
01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:46.902
transport you away from this
moment and into his presidency

1972
01:21:46.945 --> 01:21:48.860
and the promises he was making.

1973
01:21:48.904 --> 01:21:51.994
And I did famously say there's
a big difference to voters,

1974
01:21:52.037 --> 01:21:53.299
and indeed all Americans,

1975
01:21:53.343 --> 01:21:56.955
between what offends you
and what affects you,

1976
01:21:56.999 --> 01:21:58.478
and voters were
making that choice.

1977
01:21:58.522 --> 01:22:00.219
- All men do it,
and women do it.

1978
01:22:00.263 --> 01:22:01.829
- Honestly, you
gotta stick with him.

1979
01:22:01.873 --> 01:22:03.048
Hillary's no better.

1980
01:22:03.092 --> 01:22:04.397
I mean, she's just
lying through her teeth

1981
01:22:04.441 --> 01:22:05.964
left and right,
over and over again.

1982
01:22:06.008 --> 01:22:08.662
Here's the thing. He's not
running to be the Pope.

1983
01:22:08.706 --> 01:22:11.404
Look at the culture
of our country.

1984
01:22:11.448 --> 01:22:14.973
- I don't care! Nobody cares!

1985
01:22:15.017 --> 01:22:18.150
- Hillary Clinton said that
the women who make allegations

1986
01:22:18.194 --> 01:22:19.369
deserve to be heard,

1987
01:22:19.412 --> 01:22:21.458
except the ones who
accused her husband!

1988
01:22:21.501 --> 01:22:23.112
- If I remember, October
7th this happens,

1989
01:22:23.155 --> 01:22:25.636
October 8th, we have a
meeting in Trump Tower.

1990
01:22:25.679 --> 01:22:27.290
He knew people
were going to have

1991
01:22:28.117 --> 01:22:29.292
some tough recommendations.

1992
01:22:29.335 --> 01:22:30.989
Reince Priebus told
him to drop out,

1993
01:22:31.033 --> 01:22:35.254
drop out or stay in and
lose by the most in history.

1994
01:22:35.298 --> 01:22:40.085
But, as is Donald J. Trump's
custom, he did it his way.

1995
01:22:40.129 --> 01:22:43.306
There was no time for him
to be inauthentic and phony.

1996
01:22:43.349 --> 01:22:44.916
And so I think people saw that,

1997
01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:48.659
and they probably thought he
would fold in the next debate,

1998
01:22:48.702 --> 01:22:50.748
but it almost reinvigorated him.

1999
01:22:50.791 --> 01:22:51.967
And then of course, you know

2000
01:22:52.010 --> 01:22:53.664
the Clinton accusers
were there as well.

2001
01:22:55.100 --> 01:22:57.102
- There you see in the middle
of your screen, Donald Trump,

2002
01:22:57.146 --> 01:22:59.975
but from left to
right, Kathleen Willey

2003
01:23:00.018 --> 01:23:02.499
Juanita Broaddrick, then
Donald Trump in the middle.

2004
01:23:02.542 --> 01:23:06.068
These are women who have
made very strong accusations

2005
01:23:06.111 --> 01:23:07.591
against Bill Clinton.

2006
01:23:08.940 --> 01:23:10.724
- It was several people's idea.

2007
01:23:11.638 --> 01:23:13.379
And...

2008
01:23:13.423 --> 01:23:17.253
it was an idea that had been
floated for a while though.

2009
01:23:17.296 --> 01:23:18.994
Hillary Clinton, and
really Mark Cuban,

2010
01:23:19.037 --> 01:23:21.344
made a big deal that he was
gonna go sit in the front row

2011
01:23:21.387 --> 01:23:22.910
and torment Donald Trump.

2012
01:23:23.911 --> 01:23:26.131
And so it was like, well,
we'll see you one Mark Cuban,

2013
01:23:26.175 --> 01:23:29.526
and we'll raise you four
or five Clinton accusers.

2014
01:23:30.440 --> 01:23:31.571
[chuckles]

2015
01:23:31.615 --> 01:23:33.051
See how much fun I had?

2016
01:23:33.095 --> 01:23:34.531
[dramatic music]

2017
01:23:34.574 --> 01:23:38.578
What he's basically saying
is, hey, go fuck yourself.

2018
01:23:38.622 --> 01:23:42.104
I'm not going to
be attacked by you,

2019
01:23:42.147 --> 01:23:45.890
who's now all of a sudden
the champion of women.

2020
01:23:45.933 --> 01:23:49.546
- If you look at a Bill
Clinton, far worse.

2021
01:23:49.589 --> 01:23:51.765
Mine are words,
and his was action.

2022
01:23:51.809 --> 01:23:54.333
- What he basically says is

2023
01:23:55.421 --> 01:24:00.252
both sides are guilty, let's
muddy the contrast here,

2024
01:24:00.296 --> 01:24:02.037
even though Hillary Clinton
is in some ways the victim,

2025
01:24:02.080 --> 01:24:04.039
obviously, of her
husband's infidelity.

2026
01:24:04.082 --> 01:24:08.086
- So you can say any
way you want to say it,

2027
01:24:08.130 --> 01:24:10.828
but Bill Clinton was
abusive to women.

2028
01:24:10.871 --> 01:24:13.048
Hillary Clinton attacked
those same women

2029
01:24:13.918 --> 01:24:15.876
and attacked them viciously.

2030
01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:17.400
Four of them are here tonight.

2031
01:24:17.443 --> 01:24:20.751
- He gave the right wing
something to hold on to.

2032
01:24:20.794 --> 01:24:22.057
And they really-

2033
01:24:22.100 --> 01:24:23.710
The only thing uniting
the Republican coalition

2034
01:24:23.754 --> 01:24:25.669
isn't Donald Trump; it's
hatred of Hillary Clinton.

2035
01:24:25.712 --> 01:24:26.800
[intense music]

2036
01:24:26.844 --> 01:24:29.107
[faint chatter]

2037
01:24:29.151 --> 01:24:31.153
- And he does have a way,
this is what many people

2038
01:24:31.196 --> 01:24:33.242
right of center in this
country like about him,

2039
01:24:33.285 --> 01:24:36.810
of not letting
Democrats off the hook

2040
01:24:36.854 --> 01:24:38.116
for their bad behavior.

2041
01:24:38.160 --> 01:24:39.248
I'd like to know, Anderson,

2042
01:24:39.291 --> 01:24:40.945
why aren't you
bringing up the emails?

2043
01:24:40.988 --> 01:24:42.381
I'd like to know why aren't you

2044
01:24:42.425 --> 01:24:43.252
getting to the emails?
- We brought up the emails.

2045
01:24:43.295 --> 01:24:44.166
- No, it hasn't. It hasn't.

2046
01:24:44.209 --> 01:24:46.124
And it hasn't been
finished at all.

2047
01:24:46.168 --> 01:24:47.560
- Trump had a lot of luck,

2048
01:24:47.604 --> 01:24:50.781
in that the FBI was...

2049
01:24:50.824 --> 01:24:52.826
very vocal about
their investigation

2050
01:24:52.870 --> 01:24:54.654
into Hillary's private server.

2051
01:24:54.698 --> 01:24:58.441
- There is evidence that
they were extremely careless

2052
01:24:58.484 --> 01:25:00.443
in their handling
of very sensitive,

2053
01:25:00.486 --> 01:25:02.140
highly classified information.

2054
01:25:02.184 --> 01:25:04.186
- [Reporter] Questions
over a classified email.

2055
01:25:04.229 --> 01:25:05.448
- Email account.

2056
01:25:05.491 --> 01:25:07.145
- [Reporter] Emails,
in one form or another,

2057
01:25:07.189 --> 01:25:10.148
they have been dogging Clinton
throughout this campaign.

2058
01:25:10.192 --> 01:25:12.150
- Two years after
she had left office

2059
01:25:12.194 --> 01:25:13.543
for it to become clear

2060
01:25:13.586 --> 01:25:15.545
that she had been using
this private email

2061
01:25:15.588 --> 01:25:18.461
and that she had handed
over 30,000 emails,

2062
01:25:18.504 --> 01:25:21.290
and that 31,000, almost 32,000,

2063
01:25:21.333 --> 01:25:24.162
had been deleted
in this process.

2064
01:25:24.206 --> 01:25:29.428
- She deleted the emails...
She has to go to jail

2065
01:25:29.472 --> 01:25:31.169
His narrative of
"Crooked Hillary",

2066
01:25:31.213 --> 01:25:32.649
he had this giant data point

2067
01:25:32.692 --> 01:25:34.868
of this looming
FBI investigation.

2068
01:25:34.912 --> 01:25:37.654
- I didn't think I'd say
this, but I'm going to say it.

2069
01:25:37.697 --> 01:25:40.918
And I hate to say
it, but if I win,

2070
01:25:40.961 --> 01:25:43.834
I am going to instruct
my Attorney General

2071
01:25:44.878 --> 01:25:49.318
to get a special prosecutor
to look into your situation.

2072
01:25:49.361 --> 01:25:52.625
- It's just awfully good that
someone with the temperament

2073
01:25:52.669 --> 01:25:56.542
of Donald Trump is not in charge
of the law in our country.

2074
01:25:56.586 --> 01:25:57.804
- Because you'd be in jail.

2075
01:25:57.848 --> 01:25:58.805
- [Moderator] Secretary Clinton-

2076
01:25:58.849 --> 01:26:00.981
[audience laughing and cheering]

2077
01:26:01.025 --> 01:26:03.897
- The fact that he was
willing to say to her face

2078
01:26:03.941 --> 01:26:06.770
on national television,
"You belong in jail,"

2079
01:26:06.813 --> 01:26:09.294
is exactly what voters
wanted to hear from him

2080
01:26:09.338 --> 01:26:11.470
to know that he was serious.

2081
01:26:11.514 --> 01:26:14.473
- [Crowd] Lock her
up! Lock her up!

2082
01:26:14.517 --> 01:26:16.562
Lock her up! Lock her up!

2083
01:26:18.042 --> 01:26:19.522
- It's all right.

2084
01:26:19.565 --> 01:26:21.176
- We're gonna beat her on
November 8th. That's better.

2085
01:26:21.219 --> 01:26:22.351
[audience cheering]

2086
01:26:22.394 --> 01:26:26.006
- We're gonna beat
her on November 8th.

2087
01:26:26.050 --> 01:26:27.660
- Three weeks isn't
typically too early

2088
01:26:27.704 --> 01:26:30.228
for the October surprise.

2089
01:26:30.272 --> 01:26:33.057
But with our current
short attention spans,

2090
01:26:33.100 --> 01:26:35.929
courtesy of social media,
Twitter and other things,

2091
01:26:35.973 --> 01:26:37.801
three weeks actually,
I think, was too early.

2092
01:26:37.844 --> 01:26:40.195
Instead, there was time for
the Comey letter to come out

2093
01:26:40.238 --> 01:26:43.067
and resuscitate all those
concerns about Hillary Clinton.

2094
01:26:44.590 --> 01:26:46.897
- They're reopening
the investigation

2095
01:26:46.940 --> 01:26:48.681
into crooked Hillary Clinton.

2096
01:26:50.422 --> 01:26:53.251
Crooked Hillary. She is crooked.

2097
01:26:53.295 --> 01:26:55.035
She is a crooked one.

2098
01:26:55.079 --> 01:26:58.300
- A new possible
investigation by the FBI

2099
01:26:58.343 --> 01:27:00.171
into Hillary Clinton's emails.

2100
01:27:00.215 --> 01:27:02.260
- [Reporter] Just 11
days before the election,

2101
01:27:02.304 --> 01:27:04.393
the announcement
creating shock waves.

2102
01:27:04.436 --> 01:27:07.134
The FBI reopening
the investigation

2103
01:27:07.178 --> 01:27:09.702
into Hillary
Clinton's email use.

2104
01:27:09.746 --> 01:27:11.965
- We are 11 days out

2105
01:27:12.009 --> 01:27:14.838
from perhaps the most
important national election

2106
01:27:14.881 --> 01:27:16.143
of our lifetimes.

2107
01:27:16.187 --> 01:27:18.450
So the American
people deserve to get

2108
01:27:18.494 --> 01:27:21.627
the full and complete
facts immediately.

2109
01:27:21.671 --> 01:27:25.283
- The FBI situation
significantly hurt

2110
01:27:25.327 --> 01:27:27.285
- Their outrage today
certainly suggests

2111
01:27:27.329 --> 01:27:29.156
that they are
nervous about this.

2112
01:27:29.200 --> 01:27:31.898
They are furious that this came
11 days before election day.

2113
01:27:31.942 --> 01:27:34.161
- Donald Trump,
meanwhile, and his team

2114
01:27:34.205 --> 01:27:36.903
clearly reveling in
this latest plot twist.

2115
01:27:36.947 --> 01:27:40.820
- The FBI, after
discovering new email...

2116
01:27:42.953 --> 01:27:44.781
The news this morning is...

2117
01:27:44.824 --> 01:27:48.219
This is bigger than Watergate.

2118
01:27:48.263 --> 01:27:49.351
This is bigger.

2119
01:27:49.394 --> 01:27:51.222
- And if you look
at the trend line,

2120
01:27:51.266 --> 01:27:54.747
Hillary had peaked shortly
after the three debates,

2121
01:27:54.791 --> 01:27:57.794
which she was thought to
have won by most observers.

2122
01:27:57.837 --> 01:28:00.623
And then there was
a gradual tightening

2123
01:28:00.666 --> 01:28:03.016
all the way up
until election day,

2124
01:28:03.060 --> 01:28:06.455
and the Comey letter in the
waning days of the campaign

2125
01:28:06.498 --> 01:28:08.021
accelerated that.

2126
01:28:08.065 --> 01:28:11.155
The question, though, that
a lot of Democrats had,

2127
01:28:11.198 --> 01:28:12.635
why was she ever in a position

2128
01:28:12.678 --> 01:28:14.463
where that could
have been decisive?

2129
01:28:14.506 --> 01:28:16.465
To most people's minds,

2130
01:28:16.508 --> 01:28:20.207
to most of the conventional
political class's thinking,

2131
01:28:20.251 --> 01:28:23.385
this is someone she should
have been beating by 20 points.

2132
01:28:23.428 --> 01:28:25.604
This was a bigger
issue that she had.

2133
01:28:25.648 --> 01:28:26.997
It was a bigger issue

2134
01:28:27.040 --> 01:28:29.652
that she was never
able to put Trump away.

2135
01:28:32.219 --> 01:28:33.308
[jet whooshing]

2136
01:28:33.351 --> 01:28:34.439
- [Air Traffic
Control] One, zero.

2137
01:28:34.483 --> 01:28:36.267
Runway two, three
clear for takeoff.

2138
01:28:36.311 --> 01:28:38.443
Contact departure is 126.55

2139
01:28:38.487 --> 01:28:41.403
Have a nice flight, and thanks
for making ATC great again.

2140
01:28:43.230 --> 01:28:45.058
- [Reporter] Tonight,
Donald Trump,

2141
01:28:45.102 --> 01:28:47.017
with one last
battleground blitz.

2142
01:28:47.060 --> 01:28:48.932
A whirlwind sprint
to the finish.

2143
01:28:48.975 --> 01:28:50.847
Eight States in 24 hours

2144
01:28:51.804 --> 01:28:53.763
- Part of it was the
reality of budget.

2145
01:28:53.806 --> 01:28:56.548
We were understaffed and
under-resourced financially

2146
01:28:56.592 --> 01:28:57.767
and had to become creative.

2147
01:28:57.810 --> 01:29:00.335
[jet whooshing]

2148
01:29:00.378 --> 01:29:02.380
- You have one to
make every dream

2149
01:29:02.424 --> 01:29:04.948
you ever dreamed for
your country come true.

2150
01:29:06.515 --> 01:29:07.951
[crowd applauding]

2151
01:29:07.994 --> 01:29:11.476
Real change also means
restoring honesty to government.

2152
01:29:11.520 --> 01:29:13.478
First thing you should
do is get rid of Clinton.

2153
01:29:15.350 --> 01:29:18.135
- But our two greatest assets
all through the campaign

2154
01:29:18.178 --> 01:29:19.832
were Donald J. Trump
and Michael R. Pence.

2155
01:29:19.876 --> 01:29:21.138
And they were willing
to go anywhere.

2156
01:29:21.181 --> 01:29:22.531
And they were willing to
go to many stops a day

2157
01:29:22.574 --> 01:29:24.184
those last four weeks.

2158
01:29:24.228 --> 01:29:26.970
They were doing five, six,
seven stops a day each.

2159
01:29:27.013 --> 01:29:29.276
- This is the last
day of our campaign.

2160
01:29:29.320 --> 01:29:30.930
Who would have believed it?

2161
01:29:30.974 --> 01:29:34.412
They say it's the single
greatest movement,

2162
01:29:34.456 --> 01:29:36.153
politically speaking...

2163
01:29:36.196 --> 01:29:37.546
[audience cheering]

2164
01:29:37.589 --> 01:29:39.286
in the history of this country.

2165
01:29:39.330 --> 01:29:40.679
Could you believe that?
Can you believe it?

2166
01:29:40.723 --> 01:29:43.421
[audience cheering]

2167
01:29:43.465 --> 01:29:44.988
- Coming in, yes,
we do see the lines,

2168
01:29:45.031 --> 01:29:46.642
we see the rallies,
we see all the people.

2169
01:29:46.685 --> 01:29:48.252
But will they vote?

2170
01:29:48.295 --> 01:29:51.951
No, they waited in line in a
tent for two days in the rain

2171
01:29:51.995 --> 01:29:54.606
just to have a seat in
a 20,000 person arena,

2172
01:29:54.650 --> 01:29:57.348
but they're not going to
show up on election day.

2173
01:29:57.392 --> 01:30:02.397
- So it's now officially
Tuesday, November 8th.

2174
01:30:03.354 --> 01:30:06.357
[audience cheering]

2175
01:30:09.360 --> 01:30:11.797
Did you ever think you'd
be hearing a major speech

2176
01:30:11.841 --> 01:30:14.365
at around close to one
o'clock in the morning?

2177
01:30:14.409 --> 01:30:15.627
Are we crazy?

2178
01:30:15.671 --> 01:30:16.454
[audience cheering]

2179
01:30:16.498 --> 01:30:18.325
And we don't need...

2180
01:30:18.369 --> 01:30:22.329
We don't need Jay-Z or Beyonce.

2181
01:30:22.373 --> 01:30:26.769
We don't need Jon Bon Jovi.

2182
01:30:26.812 --> 01:30:29.032
We don't need Lady Gaga.

2183
01:30:31.556 --> 01:30:36.561
All we need is great ideas
to make America great again.

2184
01:30:37.127 --> 01:30:39.129
That's all we need.
That's all we need.

2185
01:30:39.172 --> 01:30:42.175
[audience cheering]

2186
01:30:46.179 --> 01:30:48.225
- Hillary's closing
message was very much

2187
01:30:48.268 --> 01:30:51.968
about Trump's unfitness
for the presidency.

2188
01:30:52.011 --> 01:30:54.449
She thought she could sway
a lot of Republican-leaning,

2189
01:30:54.492 --> 01:30:57.626
suburban, white,
college educated women

2190
01:30:57.669 --> 01:31:01.281
by pointing out how
how offensive Trump was

2191
01:31:01.325 --> 01:31:02.500
to so many people.

2192
01:31:02.544 --> 01:31:06.417
- There is a clear
choice in this election.

2193
01:31:07.636 --> 01:31:12.771
A choice between
division or unity.

2194
01:31:12.815 --> 01:31:16.209
Between strong,
steady leadership

2195
01:31:16.253 --> 01:31:20.953
or a loose cannon who could
put everything at risk.

2196
01:31:20.997 --> 01:31:22.259
[booing]

2197
01:31:22.302 --> 01:31:25.523
Because none of us, none
of us want to wake up

2198
01:31:25.567 --> 01:31:30.267
on Wednesday morning and
wish we had done more.

2199
01:31:30.310 --> 01:31:32.617
[anxious music]

2200
01:31:32.661 --> 01:31:35.968
I think we can all agree
it's been a long campaign.

2201
01:31:36.012 --> 01:31:38.971
But tomorrow, you get to
pick our next president.

2202
01:31:39.015 --> 01:31:41.713
- Her campaign is not
cocky, but confident.

2203
01:31:41.757 --> 01:31:44.934
They believe that victory
is well within their grasp.

2204
01:31:44.977 --> 01:31:47.545
She is holding her
election night watch party

2205
01:31:47.589 --> 01:31:49.765
in an atrium that
is conveniently

2206
01:31:49.808 --> 01:31:54.073
and symbolically equipped,
Gayle, with a glass ceiling.

2207
01:31:54.117 --> 01:31:57.381
- We have the
presidency at about 89%

2208
01:31:57.424 --> 01:31:59.209
For Hillary Clinton.

2209
01:31:59.252 --> 01:32:00.819
- I'm calling it.

2210
01:32:00.863 --> 01:32:04.301
Hillary Clinton, the winner
of this presidential election.

2211
01:32:04.344 --> 01:32:06.259
- The president's race is over.

2212
01:32:06.303 --> 01:32:08.348
- Let's make history together.

2213
01:32:08.392 --> 01:32:10.742
I'm Hillary Clinton
and, one last time,

2214
01:32:10.786 --> 01:32:12.570
I approve this message.

2215
01:32:17.749 --> 01:32:21.274
- The day before the election
I got a call, off the record,

2216
01:32:21.318 --> 01:32:22.667
from senior members
of the campaign

2217
01:32:22.711 --> 01:32:24.364
who were affiliated
with the RNC.

2218
01:32:24.408 --> 01:32:26.802
And they were calling a
bunch of editors in chief,

2219
01:32:26.845 --> 01:32:28.804
and they're saying, "Look,
we're gonna lose tomorrow,

2220
01:32:28.847 --> 01:32:30.849
but we want you to know
it's not our fault.

2221
01:32:30.893 --> 01:32:33.504
We've got the greatest data
operation in human history."

2222
01:32:33.548 --> 01:32:35.506
And I said, "Okay, well, how
bad do you think it's gonna be?

2223
01:32:35.550 --> 01:32:36.986
You think you're gonna feel...

2224
01:32:37.029 --> 01:32:39.336
You think you're gonna
keep the Senate?"

2225
01:32:39.379 --> 01:32:40.946
Long beat.

2226
01:32:40.990 --> 01:32:43.122
And the operative replied, "We
feel good about the House."

2227
01:32:43.166 --> 01:32:46.691
[intense electronic music]

2228
01:32:59.617 --> 01:33:02.359
[crowd cheering]

2229
01:33:10.846 --> 01:33:12.848
- She wins her
state of Illinois,

2230
01:33:12.891 --> 01:33:16.155
New Jersey, and Massachusetts,
another 11 electoral votes,

2231
01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:19.637
Maryland, carries the state
of Rhode Island, Delaware.

2232
01:33:19.681 --> 01:33:22.205
- Donald Trump has
won the state of Ohio.

2233
01:33:22.248 --> 01:33:23.946
No Republican has ever
won the White House

2234
01:33:23.989 --> 01:33:25.774
without winning Ohio.

2235
01:33:25.817 --> 01:33:27.950
- And we are about
to make a major call.

2236
01:33:27.993 --> 01:33:30.779
Donald Trump has won the
state of North Carolina.

2237
01:33:30.822 --> 01:33:33.085
This is exactly what
he needed to do.

2238
01:33:34.347 --> 01:33:35.348
- Anderson, this
night is turning out

2239
01:33:35.392 --> 01:33:37.612
to be a real nail-biter.

2240
01:33:37.655 --> 01:33:40.310
[anxious music]

2241
01:33:41.703 --> 01:33:43.356
And CNN projects Donald Trump

2242
01:33:43.400 --> 01:33:45.663
will carry the state of Florida.

2243
01:33:45.707 --> 01:33:48.492
[crowd groaning]

2244
01:33:49.798 --> 01:33:51.147
- I wouldn't call
anything encouraging

2245
01:33:51.190 --> 01:33:52.278
for Hillary Clinton
at the moment,

2246
01:33:52.322 --> 01:33:54.237
to be honest with
you, my friend.

2247
01:33:54.280 --> 01:33:55.673
- He will win Wisconsin

2248
01:33:55.717 --> 01:33:57.370
with its 10 electoral votes.

2249
01:33:57.414 --> 01:33:59.329
He's cracked the
so-called blue wall

2250
01:33:59.372 --> 01:34:01.766
that Hillary Clinton
that tried to create.

2251
01:34:01.810 --> 01:34:03.420
[somber music]

2252
01:34:03.463 --> 01:34:05.640
- [Reporter] Donald Trump has
won the state of Pennsylvania.

2253
01:34:05.683 --> 01:34:08.773
- [Reporter] That is
the race, frankly.

2254
01:34:08.817 --> 01:34:11.297
There is no path forward
for Hillary Clinton.

2255
01:34:13.735 --> 01:34:16.476
[crowd cheering]

2256
01:34:19.436 --> 01:34:22.047
- Everybody should head home.

2257
01:34:22.091 --> 01:34:23.527
You should get some sleep.

2258
01:34:24.702 --> 01:34:28.314
- Hillary Clinton has
called Donald Trump

2259
01:34:28.358 --> 01:34:29.664
to concede the race.

2260
01:34:33.668 --> 01:34:35.800
- [Reporter] Donald Trump
wins the presidency.

2261
01:34:35.844 --> 01:34:38.281
[grim music]

2262
01:34:55.428 --> 01:34:59.911
- What happened here
is the more competent

2263
01:34:59.955 --> 01:35:04.263
and qualified candidate,
Secretary Clinton,

2264
01:35:04.307 --> 01:35:07.092
got 3 million more votes

2265
01:35:07.136 --> 01:35:09.704
across the country
than Donald Trump got.

2266
01:35:09.747 --> 01:35:11.270
- Look, I don't think-

2267
01:35:11.314 --> 01:35:14.665
You can't argue that much
with the Clinton sales pitch.

2268
01:35:14.709 --> 01:35:16.841
You could argue could
have been better,

2269
01:35:16.885 --> 01:35:19.409
but in the end they
won the popular vote.

2270
01:35:19.452 --> 01:35:21.106
This wasn't a race
that they lost

2271
01:35:21.150 --> 01:35:23.805
because they didn't
have a message

2272
01:35:23.848 --> 01:35:24.936
that could win enough votes.

2273
01:35:24.980 --> 01:35:26.546
- And it wasn't
like a nail-biter.

2274
01:35:26.590 --> 01:35:30.942
I mean, he lost by
3 million votes.

2275
01:35:30.986 --> 01:35:34.119
That is a larger number
than Nixon beat Humphrey.

2276
01:35:34.163 --> 01:35:36.556
It's a larger number
than Kennedy beat Nixon.

2277
01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:39.951
That is a significant
victory for Hillary.

2278
01:35:39.995 --> 01:35:42.171
- Well, hold on a second.
That's not the race.

2279
01:35:42.214 --> 01:35:44.651
The race is to zig and
zag through the country

2280
01:35:44.695 --> 01:35:46.653
and beat the person in
the electoral college.

2281
01:35:46.697 --> 01:35:48.481
And he did that, and
he beat her in places

2282
01:35:48.525 --> 01:35:50.788
where Republicans
typically don't win.

2283
01:35:50.832 --> 01:35:53.791
- They took Wisconsin,
Michigan, and Pennsylvania

2284
01:35:53.835 --> 01:35:56.533
and places like
that for granted,

2285
01:35:56.576 --> 01:35:58.274
that they were gonna to win them

2286
01:35:58.317 --> 01:36:00.711
without having to
do a whole lot,

2287
01:36:00.755 --> 01:36:02.844
without having to put a
big get out the vote effort

2288
01:36:02.887 --> 01:36:04.367
on the ground.

2289
01:36:04.410 --> 01:36:07.196
- She refused to spend any
money for grassroots turnout

2290
01:36:07.239 --> 01:36:11.548
in Michigan, in Indiana,
in Pennsylvania,

2291
01:36:11.591 --> 01:36:14.681
because her data dummy
pollsters told her

2292
01:36:14.725 --> 01:36:16.901
she had it in the
bag based on polling.

2293
01:36:16.945 --> 01:36:20.383
- There's gonna be an
incredible, long, deep,

2294
01:36:20.426 --> 01:36:23.647
rigorous autopsy
done on the polling

2295
01:36:23.690 --> 01:36:25.605
that pervaded this campaign.

2296
01:36:25.649 --> 01:36:28.217
Public polling and the
Clinton campaign zone data,

2297
01:36:28.260 --> 01:36:30.262
which obviously was
wrong in a lot of ways.

2298
01:36:30.306 --> 01:36:34.571
- The big falsehood was that
her ground game was good.

2299
01:36:34.614 --> 01:36:36.399
It actually wasn't.

2300
01:36:36.442 --> 01:36:38.967
And she never went to Wisconsin,

2301
01:36:39.010 --> 01:36:40.446
which is something we
all should have noticed

2302
01:36:40.490 --> 01:36:41.491
in retrospect.

2303
01:36:41.534 --> 01:36:43.058
- I think a big
swing in Wisconsin

2304
01:36:43.101 --> 01:36:45.277
was Hillary never coming here.

2305
01:36:45.321 --> 01:36:46.931
I think she just
assumed that Wisconsin

2306
01:36:46.975 --> 01:36:48.193
was gonna go her way,

2307
01:36:48.237 --> 01:36:49.804
and that didn't work
out too well for her.

2308
01:36:49.847 --> 01:36:53.111
- This is a state that Hillary
Clinton hasn't even visited

2309
01:36:53.155 --> 01:36:57.289
since the Democratic
Convention over the summer.

2310
01:36:57.333 --> 01:36:58.725
- Wisconsin's always tight,

2311
01:36:58.769 --> 01:37:01.119
and what happens in the end
is Democrats always win.

2312
01:37:01.163 --> 01:37:02.860
But that was before
Governor Walker

2313
01:37:02.904 --> 01:37:04.340
had instituted a
series of reforms

2314
01:37:04.383 --> 01:37:05.689
that made the unions
less powerful.

2315
01:37:05.732 --> 01:37:08.823
President Obama would
have gone to Wisconsin.

2316
01:37:08.866 --> 01:37:13.088
By all kinds of reports, he
wanted to go to Wisconsin,

2317
01:37:13.131 --> 01:37:16.352
but the campaign told
him, and his people,

2318
01:37:16.395 --> 01:37:17.919
that there's no
reason to go there.

2319
01:37:17.962 --> 01:37:19.050
- Do you think it would
have made a difference

2320
01:37:19.094 --> 01:37:20.008
if she'd come on your show?

2321
01:37:20.051 --> 01:37:20.878
- Hillary?

2322
01:37:20.922 --> 01:37:21.705
- Yes

2323
01:37:21.748 --> 01:37:23.185
- I do

2324
01:37:23.228 --> 01:37:25.187
It's 70,000 votes, and in
those states I am popular,

2325
01:37:25.230 --> 01:37:28.059
particularly
Pennsylvania, for example

2326
01:37:28.103 --> 01:37:30.322
- If you don't catch the signal

2327
01:37:30.366 --> 01:37:32.672
that you've got a big problem
in the industrial heartland

2328
01:37:32.716 --> 01:37:35.545
when you can't when your
own primary in Michigan,

2329
01:37:35.588 --> 01:37:37.547
if you can't respond
to that on the ground

2330
01:37:37.590 --> 01:37:40.811
when people are begging for
help, you're gonna get beat.

2331
01:37:40.855 --> 01:37:43.988
At the end of the day,
it is a ground operation

2332
01:37:44.032 --> 01:37:45.816
that was not funded
in the heartland

2333
01:37:45.860 --> 01:37:47.252
that cost this campaign.

2334
01:37:47.296 --> 01:37:50.255
It was political malpractice
of the highest order.

2335
01:37:50.299 --> 01:37:52.649
Donald Trump saw that
hole in her plan,

2336
01:37:52.692 --> 01:37:54.607
and he went to the heartland,
and he beat her there.

2337
01:37:54.651 --> 01:37:55.478
It's her fault.

2338
01:37:57.697 --> 01:38:01.310
- Our campaign was
never about one person

2339
01:38:01.353 --> 01:38:03.660
or even one election.

2340
01:38:03.703 --> 01:38:05.923
It was about the country we love

2341
01:38:05.967 --> 01:38:08.012
and about building an America

2342
01:38:08.056 --> 01:38:11.450
that's hopeful, inclusive,
and big hearted.

2343
01:38:11.494 --> 01:38:14.366
[crowd applauding]

2344
01:38:15.933 --> 01:38:20.198
- At some point,
we, the voters...

2345
01:38:20.242 --> 01:38:23.158
we have to take
responsibility for this.

2346
01:38:24.637 --> 01:38:27.031
And if, yes, it's
been true for a while,

2347
01:38:27.075 --> 01:38:30.905
not just in 2016, but it's
been true for a while,

2348
01:38:30.948 --> 01:38:32.297
and you put it very well,

2349
01:38:32.341 --> 01:38:35.039
that voters are being
treated like an audience.

2350
01:38:35.083 --> 01:38:35.953
And...

2351
01:38:37.302 --> 01:38:41.959
as long as we keep
responding as an audience...

2352
01:38:43.265 --> 01:38:47.791
that's how they're gonna
try to win elections.

2353
01:38:47.834 --> 01:38:50.446
The moment we, the voters,

2354
01:38:50.489 --> 01:38:54.232
insist on a higher
level of debate,

2355
01:38:54.276 --> 01:38:55.842
that's when we'll get one

2356
01:38:55.886 --> 01:38:57.235
- [Reporter] Clearly we
have missed something

2357
01:38:57.279 --> 01:38:58.323
on the polling side.

2358
01:38:58.367 --> 01:39:00.717
How did polling
get this so wrong?

2359
01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:02.632
- [Reporter] A lot of those
people were not willing

2360
01:39:02.675 --> 01:39:05.722
to say to a pollster they
were willing to vote for him.

2361
01:39:05.765 --> 01:39:07.071
- Are they not talking to us?

2362
01:39:07.115 --> 01:39:09.030
Are they not interested
in doing surveys?

2363
01:39:09.073 --> 01:39:13.469
- That term "hidden Trump
voter", "undercover Trump voter"

2364
01:39:13.512 --> 01:39:16.211
was met with international
derision and ridicule.

2365
01:39:16.254 --> 01:39:17.864
Thank you, everyone.

2366
01:39:17.908 --> 01:39:20.998
And they said on election
day, they'll still be hidden.

2367
01:39:21.042 --> 01:39:24.828
Well, that was to explain not
that people were embarrassed

2368
01:39:24.871 --> 01:39:26.351
to say they're voting
for Donald Trump,

2369
01:39:26.395 --> 01:39:28.788
but they weren't supposed to be.

2370
01:39:28.832 --> 01:39:29.964
[crowd cheering]

2371
01:39:30.007 --> 01:39:31.443
They're women who
are supposed to vote

2372
01:39:31.487 --> 01:39:33.445
for the first woman President
of the United States.

2373
01:39:33.489 --> 01:39:35.230
They're hispanics who
were supposed to not like

2374
01:39:35.273 --> 01:39:36.753
his immigration policy.

2375
01:39:36.796 --> 01:39:38.798
They're young who
were supposed to say

2376
01:39:38.842 --> 01:39:40.278
the Democrats are woke.

2377
01:39:40.322 --> 01:39:43.238
If you are a union worker
in any of these states

2378
01:39:43.281 --> 01:39:44.804
we were talking about earlier,

2379
01:39:44.848 --> 01:39:47.285
how in the world can you
vote for Donald Trump?

2380
01:39:47.329 --> 01:39:48.939
And so they just
don't want to argue

2381
01:39:48.983 --> 01:39:50.506
with people in their
circle of life,

2382
01:39:50.549 --> 01:39:53.030
their family, their friends
or their colleagues anymore.

2383
01:39:53.074 --> 01:39:54.423
But they came out for him.

2384
01:39:54.466 --> 01:39:57.904
- I think the idea that
it's only the dumb people

2385
01:39:57.948 --> 01:40:01.821
who would fall for Trump
doesn't stand up to science,

2386
01:40:01.865 --> 01:40:05.825
because there are plenty
of brilliant Republicans

2387
01:40:05.869 --> 01:40:07.044
who are pro-Trump.

2388
01:40:07.088 --> 01:40:08.437
- A lot of rich guys
voted for him, too,

2389
01:40:08.480 --> 01:40:09.655
in case you didn't know.

2390
01:40:09.699 --> 01:40:11.135
They closed the curtain.

2391
01:40:11.179 --> 01:40:13.920
They said, okay,
can't tell anybody.

2392
01:40:13.964 --> 01:40:14.834
Trump.

2393
01:40:14.878 --> 01:40:15.966
And then they open the curtain.

2394
01:40:17.315 --> 01:40:19.578
- He tapped into a
lot of frustration

2395
01:40:19.622 --> 01:40:21.363
and people who, at the
last minute, just said,

2396
01:40:21.406 --> 01:40:24.148
fuck it, let's take that a risk.

2397
01:40:24.192 --> 01:40:27.673
[crowd cheering]

2398
01:40:27.717 --> 01:40:32.809
- There was this divided,
fragmented nation,

2399
01:40:32.852 --> 01:40:34.898
and really an understanding gap

2400
01:40:34.941 --> 01:40:36.813
that we didn't even have a sense

2401
01:40:36.856 --> 01:40:38.119
of what was necessarily going on

2402
01:40:38.162 --> 01:40:40.295
on the other side of the
communication divide.

2403
01:40:40.338 --> 01:40:41.644
And within that "we"

2404
01:40:41.687 --> 01:40:43.994
I would include a lot
of our journalists.

2405
01:40:44.038 --> 01:40:46.649
- Obviously we missed it, right?

2406
01:40:46.692 --> 01:40:47.693
But a lot of people missed it.

2407
01:40:47.737 --> 01:40:48.825
- [Reporter]
Everybody missed it.

2408
01:40:48.868 --> 01:40:50.131
Just about everybody missed it.

2409
01:40:50.174 --> 01:40:52.089
- I don't think that
the mainstream media

2410
01:40:52.133 --> 01:40:54.048
was lying about what
was going to happen.

2411
01:40:54.091 --> 01:40:58.139
I think we missed the
overarching story,

2412
01:40:58.182 --> 01:41:00.271
- And see so many in the
American media today.

2413
01:41:00.315 --> 01:41:02.447
And in the last,
I'd say 72 hours

2414
01:41:02.491 --> 01:41:04.101
having the self-reflection

2415
01:41:04.145 --> 01:41:06.103
and telling themselves they
need to look in the mirror,

2416
01:41:06.147 --> 01:41:09.976
that this was not a shock
to millions of Americans,

2417
01:41:10.020 --> 01:41:12.631
but it was a shock
in the newsrooms at

2418
01:41:12.675 --> 01:41:14.633
at The New York Times, at CNN.

2419
01:41:14.677 --> 01:41:18.420
- I actually believe that
what we watched happen

2420
01:41:18.463 --> 01:41:21.466
in the 2016 election
was an example

2421
01:41:21.510 --> 01:41:25.296
of this very new set of
affordances, if you will,

2422
01:41:25.340 --> 01:41:28.082
of the media system.

2423
01:41:28.125 --> 01:41:30.823
The gatekeepers of
the old media system

2424
01:41:30.867 --> 01:41:32.651
no longer are the gatekeepers.

2425
01:41:32.695 --> 01:41:34.914
Once upon a time, we
had audience members

2426
01:41:34.958 --> 01:41:37.265
who were each sitting in
their own living rooms,

2427
01:41:37.308 --> 01:41:40.616
watching this
television broadcast,

2428
01:41:40.659 --> 01:41:43.140
and maybe shouting
back at the TV.

2429
01:41:43.184 --> 01:41:44.620
That landscape has
completely changed,

2430
01:41:44.663 --> 01:41:46.535
because now we have
audience members

2431
01:41:46.578 --> 01:41:47.840
who are all on the internet,

2432
01:41:47.884 --> 01:41:50.016
all on different
social media platforms,

2433
01:41:50.060 --> 01:41:51.757
connected with one another...

2434
01:41:52.715 --> 01:41:54.282
and talking with each other

2435
01:41:54.325 --> 01:41:56.501
about new political
possibilities.

2436
01:41:56.545 --> 01:41:59.939
When we're now connected
to more of our friends,

2437
01:41:59.983 --> 01:42:02.812
and we have the
ability to self-select

2438
01:42:02.855 --> 01:42:07.860
and tune into networks of
people who think like we do.

2439
01:42:09.993 --> 01:42:12.474
- [Reporter] Facebook is
admitting Russia agents

2440
01:42:12.517 --> 01:42:15.172
bought thousands of ads
during the election.

2441
01:42:15.216 --> 01:42:16.521
Now the social media giant says

2442
01:42:16.565 --> 01:42:18.480
it will turn over
those ads to Congress.

2443
01:42:18.523 --> 01:42:20.264
- And now you throw
this into the mix,

2444
01:42:20.308 --> 01:42:22.266
where it really sort of
raises questions, again,

2445
01:42:22.310 --> 01:42:24.181
about the legitimacy
of his election.

2446
01:42:24.225 --> 01:42:27.141
- The clear evidence that
Russia tried to influence

2447
01:42:27.184 --> 01:42:30.100
the outcome of the
election is unprecedented.

2448
01:42:30.144 --> 01:42:32.798
They were clearly trying to
sow the seeds of confusion

2449
01:42:32.842 --> 01:42:34.626
and discord, play to
identity politics.

2450
01:42:34.670 --> 01:42:37.803
But they had a favored
candidate. That's

2451
01:42:37.847 --> 01:42:41.155
- I do not believe in a
giant global conspiracy

2452
01:42:41.198 --> 01:42:42.765
whereby the Trump campaign,

2453
01:42:42.808 --> 01:42:44.636
which literally didn't
even know it was winning

2454
01:42:44.680 --> 01:42:47.465
at like eight
o'clock that night...

2455
01:42:48.727 --> 01:42:51.817
orchestrated this in order
to beat Hillary Clinton.

2456
01:42:51.861 --> 01:42:53.123
- But what I definitely
think happened

2457
01:42:53.167 --> 01:42:54.690
is that the Russians
were interfering

2458
01:42:54.733 --> 01:42:56.300
as much as they could do

2459
01:42:56.344 --> 01:42:59.129
in the mindsets of
American people,

2460
01:42:59.173 --> 01:43:00.739
through Facebook
through WikiLeaks,

2461
01:43:00.783 --> 01:43:02.219
through all sorts of stuff.

2462
01:43:02.263 --> 01:43:05.962
The Russians were everywhere,
trying to create noise

2463
01:43:06.005 --> 01:43:09.226
around probably Donald
Trump over Hillary Clinton.

2464
01:43:09.270 --> 01:43:13.056
Was Donald Trump responsible
for that activity? No.

2465
01:43:13.099 --> 01:43:15.232
Did he mind it? I doubt it.

2466
01:43:15.276 --> 01:43:17.974
You know, all's fair in
love and election war.

2467
01:43:18.017 --> 01:43:20.237
But is the central charge true

2468
01:43:20.281 --> 01:43:22.108
that Donald Trump was only there

2469
01:43:22.152 --> 01:43:23.893
because of Russian interference?

2470
01:43:23.936 --> 01:43:25.373
I just don't buy that at all.

2471
01:43:29.203 --> 01:43:31.117
- [Announcer] Ladies and
gentlemen, the president-elect

2472
01:43:31.161 --> 01:43:33.511
of the United States,
Donald John Trump.

2473
01:43:34.817 --> 01:43:37.820
[audience cheering]

2474
01:43:40.953 --> 01:43:45.784
- I think America always gets
the president it deserves.

2475
01:43:45.828 --> 01:43:48.831
This is an age
distorted by greed,

2476
01:43:48.874 --> 01:43:53.836
distorted by inequality,
distorted by social media.

2477
01:43:53.879 --> 01:43:56.795
Why wouldn't we be
offered the chance

2478
01:43:56.839 --> 01:44:01.844
to elect a president whose
main skill is self-promotion?

2479
01:44:02.540 --> 01:44:04.803
That makes him the
ultimate American.

2480
01:44:06.196 --> 01:44:08.242
- A guy like Trump
was inevitable.

2481
01:44:08.285 --> 01:44:10.766
You're calling it the
accidental presidency.

2482
01:44:10.809 --> 01:44:14.030
It may be an accident that
Trump is the president,

2483
01:44:14.073 --> 01:44:17.990
but it is not an accident
that someone well-known,

2484
01:44:18.034 --> 01:44:21.124
outside of politics
would suddenly rise.

2485
01:44:22.691 --> 01:44:24.649
- We can no longer assume
that what we've known

2486
01:44:24.693 --> 01:44:27.913
for the last 50 years has
any relevance or resonance.

2487
01:44:27.957 --> 01:44:31.308
We can't tell that anymore,
because the public has changed.

2488
01:44:31.352 --> 01:44:32.614
Politics has changed.

2489
01:44:32.657 --> 01:44:33.919
- You can't go back now.

2490
01:44:33.963 --> 01:44:37.140
You can't have boring,
robotic leaders anymore.

2491
01:44:37.183 --> 01:44:39.925
The rise of populism
around the world,

2492
01:44:39.969 --> 01:44:41.971
driven a lot by people
like Donald Trump,

2493
01:44:42.014 --> 01:44:44.365
is because people have
had a reaction, I think,

2494
01:44:44.408 --> 01:44:46.410
to robotic politics.

2495
01:44:46.454 --> 01:44:48.499
And I think, in America,
Trump tapped into

2496
01:44:48.543 --> 01:44:50.545
the same sentiment
about Washington

2497
01:44:50.588 --> 01:44:52.982
and said that
Washington is broken,

2498
01:44:53.025 --> 01:44:55.593
it's paralyzed,
it's not working.

2499
01:44:56.855 --> 01:45:00.294
- He offered, as
the demagogue does,

2500
01:45:00.337 --> 01:45:04.994
easy answers to
complex questions.

2501
01:45:05.037 --> 01:45:09.825
We live in this era where
we're being disrupted...

2502
01:45:10.826 --> 01:45:15.831
by globalization, by technology
revolution, by automation.

2503
01:45:16.353 --> 01:45:18.181
How does Donald Trump win?

2504
01:45:19.400 --> 01:45:20.401
How does he not win?

2505
01:45:21.706 --> 01:45:23.229
- We're still talking
about the 2016 election

2506
01:45:23.273 --> 01:45:24.927
because it's still the case

2507
01:45:24.970 --> 01:45:26.145
that no one has wrapped
their head around it.

2508
01:45:26.189 --> 01:45:27.756
And the president
is no exception.

2509
01:45:27.799 --> 01:45:30.715
He won't shut up about
the 2016 election either.

2510
01:45:30.759 --> 01:45:33.370
We're still trying to figure
out what the heck happened

2511
01:45:33.414 --> 01:45:34.763
and whether it's a fluke.

2512
01:45:34.806 --> 01:45:36.634
To me, that's why we
keep covering politics,

2513
01:45:36.678 --> 01:45:37.809
because we don't know.

2514
01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:39.637
What I'm trying to figure out,

2515
01:45:39.681 --> 01:45:42.161
what I'm trying to cover is...

2516
01:45:42.205 --> 01:45:44.468
has our political
framework changed?

2517
01:45:44.512 --> 01:45:45.426
Has it been destroyed?

2518
01:45:45.469 --> 01:45:48.559
Has Trump realigned the way that

2519
01:45:48.603 --> 01:45:50.518
the American electorate works?

2520
01:45:50.561 --> 01:45:52.563
Or was it just a
really weird fluke

2521
01:45:52.607 --> 01:45:54.783
that took advantage
of the imbalance

2522
01:45:54.826 --> 01:45:57.351
between the popular vote
and the electoral college,

2523
01:45:57.394 --> 01:45:59.440
the Russians, Jim Comey

2524
01:45:59.483 --> 01:46:02.617
a fractured Republican field,
a divided Republican party?

2525
01:46:02.660 --> 01:46:05.794
Was there just this really
specific set of circumstances

2526
01:46:05.837 --> 01:46:08.971
that allowed something
really unusual to happen?

what we do know
