6 floating at the second presidential debate Hillary Clinton and the most vicious debate ever we have residential a story and Doug we joining us now from Washington to find out where the call I don't think I've ever seen a debate this before but we have seen an election like this before in 1884 the American people thought had to choose between a corrupt politician who took bribes in return for giving out favors and the New York misogynist the New York misogynist in his law partner shared the sexual favors of the young lady who became pregnant our erstwhile presidential candidate assumed responsibility the New York massage in this one that one and when one of his law Partners died he raised the daughter when she became a teenager she fell in love with him when she turned 21 she married him in the white house she was the youngest first lady in American history and that was Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom I don't know if you're trying to make some sort of correlation between Hillary and sandwich Cape May Be Trump would win based on that's really when you talk about last night and you talked about in the middle of times and some names we know in the sixties in the seventies what comparisons can you make well you can make the comparison that second debates really matter that was the debate where Ronald Reagan hit his homerun on the age issue with Mondale that was the debate where a Gerald Ford challenge the Soviet Germany of Eastern Europe and failed badly and that was the debate where Barack Obama came back against Mitt Romney so I saw a great comeback for Donald Trump my family my daughters were just looking up Hillary looking up what's the charge of the 12 year old girl who was raped that haunted them and at first they looked it up so it's not true then they found the app will audio that's the problem with Millennials they go for it you can go to Doug weed.com I have that audio right at the top because the news media is not reporting that they're saying that is a fact check said that she was laughing when she protected that to clarify Lauren and think about this second what's the takeaway this was a tough debate and I think the takeaway is that the pendants world the Donald Trump was right to counterpunch she needed to do that to put it into focus it was the difference between Words which were horrible and deeds which also had not been apologized for you think about it Paula Jones ever wanted was an apology we went through an impeachment for what Bill Clinton had done she wanted an apology for for his campaign accusing her of wanting something that she hadn't wanted I wanted to ask you quickly because now you know we heard we had Jessica Tarlov on Democrat and she's a democratic strategist and some ground still How likely or unlikely when someone is a little bit behind but they take it over and then when the whole election we're 29 days away well it happened in the Carter of Ford election that happened in the Reagan Carter election of 1980 Carter was a head I have a close friend who had breakfast with Carter the morning after the election and Carter was stunned he didn't believe that he had lost so that's how quickly it can turn John Kennedy once said nothing just happens people make it happen that all of these things are coming out now in October I'm it is amusing to hear the clintons and Hollywood teaming up to lecture the American people on how not to objectify women itself it's not an accident that Access Hollywood happen to find that tape now and there will be more things that we will find on both sides that will come out that's politics Kennedy's right there made to happen and there's going to be some things made to happen in the coming days so a lot of excitement ahead thank you so much Doug wead presidential historian kind of puts it on for
