vote for michelle obama. it's not just women. she's very popular among that crowd with the men in the crowd, young and old, black and white, you name it and she's really bringing in the african-american voters into the tent for hillary clinton. i talked to many of them who had felt over this campaign they haven't had a hero in the race without barack obama, not feeling the same passion for hillary clinton. and i think judging from what i heard today, found their hero in the race and it's michelle obama. >> thanks very much. the panel is back with us this hour. it is interesting to see you hear in that report they maybe once had more of a rocky relationship. clearly michelle obama sees her husband's legacy at stake here as much as anything else. >> without a doubt. she is all in on the hillary clinton campaign and in a way she may not have been when this started out. would have done what was asked of her but she has seen this quest that hillary clinton and her team have put together to recreate the obama coali

but i am here to see michelle obama. reporter: what the charisma of a rock star, michelle obama has traits that some say are lacking in the presidential nominee. but hillary clinton knows it makes sense to be upstaged. >> it does not get any better than being here with our most amazing first lady, michelle obama. [applause] reporter: members of an exclusive sisterhood, the first ladies club and they are determined to keep donald trump from occupying washington. between them, they have lived there asked teen years. hillary, she says, is the only one qualified to be president. >> she has more experience than any candidate in our lifetime, more than barack, more than bill, so she is absolutely ready to be commander in chief on day one. and yes, she happens to be a woman. [applause] reporter: getting young women out the vote is a priority for hillary clinton. many have not been enthused by the prospect of a first female president. millennial voters especially, michelle obama could make the winning difference. >> i feel like

that, of course, is michelle obama. hallie? >> chris jansing, we'll check back in with you as soon as hillary clinton and michelle obama take the stage. thank you very much. >>> we want to check in now with our microsoft pulse question to see what you're saying about this new wikileaks clinton foundation memo that for some is raising questions about hillary clinton's trustworthiness. is this going to impact the election 12 days out? here are the results so far. 86% say no, but 14% of you think that it will. head over to pulse.msnbc.com to vote. have i to tell you, in the last three minutes here, as chris jansing was doing her live shot, i got word from a trump campaign source that he will be addressing that very memo at his rally, which is now set to start in about seven or eight minutes from now. we'll bring it to you live when it happens from springfield, ohio. we've got much more ahead from geneva, in what i'm told is the heart of ohio's wine country. didn't know it had a wine country. stick around. mother in-law with a keen

michelle obama is exceptionally popular. what's very interesting as you know is the recent polls indicate that donald trump is getting anywhere between 18-29% of the african american vote. so if hillary clinton wants to get that back i think michelle obama has to be on the campaign trail. it is just a mere eight years that michelle obama took a passing slight at hillary clinton and said you can't control your own house, you can't control the white house. political expediency. but i do think michelle obama is a good surrogate for hillary clinton right now and she's much better than bill clinton. so i think she can stick with her as long as he can. >> i'm not familiar with any poll or any poll that shows that by the way. but michelle obama and hillary clinton have not always been friends to. state the obvious. and donald trump has been seizing on that. here is what he said. >> we have a president. all he wants to do is campaign. his wife, all she wants do is campaign. and i see how much his wife likes hillary. but wasn't she t

michelle obama. one saying she is a rock star. she is their not so secret weapon and hoping she can help them close out this campaign on a strong footing, craig. >> live this afternoon here on msnbc. kristen welker from the tarmac in white plains. kristen, thank you. mbs's peter alexander following the trump campaign for us in springfield, ohio, between clups a columbus and dayton. back in the buckeye state. according to some polls, now though, a lot show him tied. where is he trying to consolidate support? >> reporter: donald trump over the course of this day alone tries to get from the ohio river to lake erie. the real challenge for the trump campaign here in ohio which is a must-win state for the republican nominee is the need to maximize those rural and suburban voters, specifically in those counties like where we are in clarke county outside of dayton and columbus and toledo and the northeast part of this state, one of the more economically depressed areas under mitt romney in 2012 during that v

we talked about michelle obama. we played that sound which is a takedown of trump without mentioning him by name. that is what she has done in the campaign. he is not normal. this is not something that we see in politics. he is not like other republicans. then president obama gave a speech last night in ohio to democrats in ohio. where he did the opposite. he tried to put donald trump smack dab in the middle of the republican party. listen. >> they know better. a lot of the folks who ran. they don't get credit for at the very last minute when finally the guy they nominated and they endorsed and supported is caught on tape saying things that no decent person would even think much less say, must less brag about, much less laugh about or joke about, much less act on. you can't wait until that finally happens and then say oh, that's too much. that's enough. and think that somehow you are showing any kind of leadership and deserve to be elected to the united states senate. >> maybe i'm overreading into this. i think it i

joe biden, barack obama, michelle obama are tremendous surrogates with great following nationally. many senators and governors are out in the field as well because there are a few states like north carolina where there is early voting already under way and where control of the state, the prediction for the presidential and senatorial and gubernatorial races here have gone back and forth. so many of us have gone to other places in the country who know secretary clinton, who have served and worked with her and who can speak to her strength. i was at polling places and at grass-roots campaign headquarters in several places across north carolina today and was glad to be able to deliver a positive message. there are a lot of folks across the country, wolf, who have been turned off by the nasty and personal tone of this campaign and debate nationally. many are concerned that folks who would come out and vote for secretary clinton or for democrats like deborah ross who is running for the senate here in north carolina, might be turned off and stay home. we need folks to exercise their righ

you saw michelle obama's remarks? should stayink they out of this, they are using taxpayer money to campaign for her. they are saying everything that is wrong with donald, but nothing that is wrong for her. yes, i am voting for donald. and thank you for taking my call. this tweeta look at from the hell, reporting that the trump campaign is pulling out of the battleground state of virginia. ohio.he moved on to a lot of the crowd saying allegations against him were false and the young gop voters are unconcerned. he was in cincinnati earlier today. come up more calls rocky point, new york. listening to the program, i cannot believe how people do not see all the nasty things he has said about women. he made fun of people with disabilities, he has made terrible remarks about children. hillary has done so many wonderful things and people just focus on the nastiness that was brought up by mr. trump. i will vote for hillary because she is the only one capable at this time of becoming president with everything that has happene

why can't people love michelle obama? >> she's very effective. she give the best speech in the dnc hands down f. s. if she wants to run for something, she's very good at it on the campaign trail. i get you, don, 100%. i don't know love for the first lady is what they are going to vote on when they're hurting economically, when they're scared about terrorism, whether they're casting their ballot, i don't know if love for the first lady is going to be the benefact benefactor. >> i will tell you young people, especially millennial, the highest approval rating with any politician would be michelle and b barack obama among that demographic. >> first of all you say these not a thought leader, i think that's highly -- i'm not going to say it's offensive, it's just wrong. she's actually changed the national conversation when it comes to children's fitness, children's health, when it comes to the most important things in our country, our future generation, and also our veterans, she's been right out there as big as anybody. but much more importantly, if y

michelle obama said that. she said, you know what, this is not normal and you should not have to feel like it's normal. that is, i think, going to be extremely powerful. >> patrick, could hillary clinton have given that speech? >> that's a great question. >> that tapping into exactly what abby is saying and delivering it with that kind of emotion. >> michelle obama, i think, has a reservoir of trust with voters that hillary clinton has struggled with. that when people feel when hillary clinton gives a personal speech when she draws on her own emotion that there's another agenda at work. that there are doubts that people bring. but the part that is because voters have experienced her, you know, for 30 years as a political figure. i think one thing that michelle obama has been able to do incredibly effectively for eight years is that she's largely been seen as a mother first. as a wife and supporter for barack obama. she doesn't go out and give overtly obviously partisan speeches. but she's also -- not to take a

>> well, i think michelle obama is is absolutely critical. hillary clinton is right to admonish her supporters. don't take this for granted. some of the tracking polls show a bit of closing. this is tight in a lot of battleground states. michelle obama is critical with two groups, obviously. with african-americans and with women. more than that, she carries the torch for president obama, approval ratings are quite high and if she racks up states like north carolina and florida, what she's going to need, i think, is strong turnout in the african-american community, strong turnout from women and if you put the diagram together, she needs young african-american women to really turn out and to be leaders in the community as they are and that's the connection that michelle obama can make. i think she's probably the best single campaigner on the campaign. it's been marvelous and interesting to watch how good she is. >> it's an incredible analysis win or lose. but win or lose donald trump, he has not had the michelle obama, you know, big name surrog

this was michelle obama at her most passionate. talking about her initiative, let girls learn, and tying that to donald trump's comments in that 2005 audio that surfaced on friday, saying that she felt like she needed to speak out. what's your takeaway here? >> this was personal. this was emotional. we've seen michelle obama give powerful speeches before, at the conventions, both for her husband and then for hillary clinton. but this was a statement, a declaration, really, of a woman who was passionate about the year of the girl, anniversary this week, and then saying how she shamed and how devastated women like herself were to hear the language that's become the daily language of this campaign. she said that, first of all, to even call this locker room banter, the language we heard from the "access hollywood" tape s an insult to all decent men everywhere, to the men in her life. she said the men in our lives don't speak this way. that this is a devastating to young girls, as a parent she's very seized by that. she also spoke of a

-- [laughter] >> don't do that. >> michelle obama. >> michelle obama. >> people trust her more than hillary clinton. >> she is not a politician. >> when i see hillary clinton, she seems very detached. ms. obama: this year it is much closer in this state. that is why i am here. rajini: so we come to this place called mesa in arizona, about half an hour from where we were at the michelle obama rally in phoenix. it has been described as one of the most conservative cities in america. what do people here think of the first lady? in 15 seconds, tell me as many words as you can to describe michelle obama. >> oh, i am on the fence about her. >> she's fine. nice. >> clown, hypocrite. racist. >> makes friends with terrorists. she is pro-abortion so that means she is a baby killer. >> well, one thing she said, she said she is living in a white house that was built by slaves. rajini: but it was. >> it was. rajini: how is that racist? >> the way that she said it. >> i am not a fan of obama himself. i did not vote for him and i'm not a fan of him being president. >> it is to hillary's advantage

that is the reason michelle obama is here. it's the reason they're trying to get students and others out to vote. you said this is the first appearance together, that's true. north carolina, also the first place that the president, president obama, and hillary clinton appeared together this summer. that was in charlotte. just shows how important north carolina is. we know president obama won it in 2008. and mitt romney won is in 2012. this will be the tiebreaker in terms of if north carolina is leaning blue or red. that's why this event here today is so important for the clinton campaign and of course using michelle obama to try to get out the vote some 12 days before the election, wolf. >> all right, jeff, thank you, jeff zeleny reporting from winston salem, north carolina. we'll have live coverage of the first lady and hillary clinton when that comes up. we're standing by for that and standing by for donald trump as well. the presidential race clearly winding down now. it all comes down to this. who can get the 270 electoral

he wanted to be first in line for michelle obama's speech. more than that, he wanted to some day be able to tell his kids they were held in the first lady's arms. >> and so, i'm hoping that when first lady obama comes that she will get to hold my son. >> reporter: that is early this morning. fast forward to this afternoon. equal. >> reporter: the first lady gives a rousing speech. then jarvis gets his wish. that is michelle obama holding his son micah. and that is jarvis celebrating. then michelle takes the two- year-old daughter genesis. jarvis capturing the moments. >> she came down, talked to me. we had a good conversation. she was telling me she heard that her husband had kissed my daughter and she said she wanted to kissso last year, during president obama's visit to the valley, this determined dad managed to strike a meeting with the president. once again, he was first in line for the speech. >> it means a lot. because, it is not every day that we get to meet the president of the united states. and, or the first family. for them to come

i don't think michelle obama wants that to happen. as a result, she's really going as hard as she can to get hillary clinton elected here. >> thank you both so very much for joining us from washington. >>> coming up, from washington to wake forest, bloomberg views al hunt who made the trip here to his alma mater. he'll be joining me next for a deeper dive into north carolina and the voters who will decide it. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc, the place for politics. wi your business be ready when growth presents itself? american express open cards can help you take on a new job, or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever comesext. find out how american express cards and services cahelp prepare you for growth at open.com.

michelle obama: you had those before? well, i'm just -- [laughter] i'm just speaking for her -- >> bob: you haven't spoken to her, have you? that is correct. when she asks me to clean the garage. i said what is a carage. that works extremely well. so much has been done too. i know that our experience when the war has began well more than a decade ago, is we concentrate on those that come back on recoverying to get out of the hospital and to get the best treatment that i can. also the next step is to figure out a way to let them get back into their civilian world when they've returned to the community. and then of course, the next one was jobs. i think that the number this may be right, i think that the rate of unemployment with the veterans now is lower than the civilian numbers the rate for unemployment. the other one mrs. bush, i know this is one of your concentrations. i think most of the attention was largely to those that were visibly wounded. to realize that there are a lot that are invisible. why is it that you are

michelle obama. what she said about donald trump is the headline and the story of what she had to say promises, as we say in the news business, to have legs. it's going to go on. michelle was the undeniable star of this thursday, october 13th. she told a crowd in new hampshire she was shake ton the core by what donald trump said in 2005 about how he treats women. >> this is not something that we can ignore. it's not something we can just sweep under the regular as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season. because this was not just a lewd conversation. this wasn't just locker room banter. this was a powerful individual,

but michele obama has gone out -- >> you had your turn. you had your turn. michelle obama has gone after him speech, after speech, after speech, and donald trump has not broken breath to say one word, one tweet, nothing because he recognizes the power that he has. >> congressman quickly i have to go to break. >> number one she's trying to prop up hillary clinton, who brings no enthusiasm. that's why the crowd was big today, because of michelle obama. >> big crowds don't mean big votes. ask bernie. >> let him finish. >> and michelle obama can go out there and say all those good things about hillary clinton, but it's still hillary clinton, and people are not enthusiastic about that. that's why she can't get a big crowd. >> here's the thing -- okay. >> and beyond -- >> quickly. >> -- behind the cheering you have obamacare, you have a weak economy, you don't have hope or jobs for these young people who need jobs who are going out in the workplace. they're very uneasy about the economy. they're very uneasy about national security. >> all the people you mention >>

so you actually owe an jifment number two, michelle obama. i've gotten to see the commercials that they did on you and i got to see some of the most vicious commercials i've ever seen of michelle obama talking but, hillary. so you talk about friend?

jeff zeleny is there, senior washington correspondent where michelle obama, hillary clinton, this is the first time the significance of north carolina is part of the story, you've been covering hillary clinton for months and months and months but this is a huge deal if these two ladies will share a stage. >> brooke, it certainly is. this is the biggest moment at least in her north carolina campaign and the reason michelle obama is here today is because early voting is happening starting today right here so that's why there's such a big rally behind me in this arena. they'll take the stage shortly. they're trying to get students and others on the campus of wake forest university out to vote some 12 days before the election. they want to bottle those votes, bank those votes right now. but brooke if you're wondering how important north carolina and its 15 electoral votes are, this is also the state where secretary clinton made her first appearance with president obama back in july in charlotte so north carolina we say again and again is the test state here. mitt romney won in 2012, bara

they come from donald trump and michelle obama. first trump, just launched a counter attack for his political survival like none we've ever seen. we are less than a month to election day. trump ripped apart, fresh accusations from three women who say that he forced himself upon them. two talked to the "new york times". one is a former writer for "people" magazine. so i want to play some sound from donald trump himself. this is just from minutes ago as he dismissed these claims of groping and forced kisses, and worse, all the while rebuking the major news organizations that are telling these women's stories. here he was. >> these people are horrible people. they're horrible, horrible liars. and interestingly, it happens to appear 26 days after our very important election. isn't that amazing? this invented account has already been debunked by eye witnesses who were there. they were there! the very witness identified by the author has said the story is totally false. these events never ever happened, and the people that said them meek

michelle obama. what she said about donald trump is the headline and the story of what she had to say promises, as we say in the news business, to have legs. it's going to go on. michelle was the undeniable star of this thursday, october 13th. she told a cro i

you have donald trump from that stage and michelle obama speaking. we have that delivery reaction from new york times where donald trump is saying they are putting together a lawsuit against them asking the time to take down that article and the lawyers from the time. he goes onto a radio hos host -- multiple women not mentioned in our article. i publicly come forward of mr. trump's unwanted advances. from what you are hearing inside the campaign and top level sources, who worried are they about a snowball effect of what we have been seeing in the last 16 hours of the days leading up to the final debate in vegas of more women coming forforward. >> reporter: what you are seeing, a reflection of what's happening of how his campaign is handling this defiantly , in a word. almost declaring war at this point against the press and the women who trump said have falsely accused him against the people who are coming out in trump's word as and trying to ht him and his reputation this is a message that will resonate. like you saw jacob talking about. the trump

they said, well, michelle obama said it. >> and to your point, corine, that is not what michelle obama was talking about. she wasn't talking about hillary clinton. >> they basically said it's just not proven. fact checkers have debunked it. >> michelle, it does seem that the clinton campaign, they went and did a psych profile of donald trump, they want to the author of "the art of the deal." they knew exactly how to trigger him and he couldn't resist. >> he can never resist. it's further argument of does he have the temperament and control to be president of the united states. here's what i love, which is the irony of all ironies. we've got michelle obama, an african-american women, hillary clinton, women who have gone through so much, to have the right to vote, to be looked at as a thinking human being, and here's this black women standing up saying despite all of this was great and hillary clinton, she stood up, she was healthy, she was smart. they've both been sort of channelling their inner ali, doing the rope-a-dope over and over again and one, two, three, they are knocking donald

number two, michelle obama. i gotten to see the commercials that they did on you. and i gotten to see some of the most vicious commercials i've ever seen of michelle obama talking about you, hillary. so, you talked about friend, go back take a look at those

michelle obama warning voters in to him only as "hillary clinton's opponent." president obama tang republans to task for their rolen the rise of trump. from the first couple, a powerful one-two punch aimed at donald trump. >> you've got somebody who each and every day, every time he talks, proves himself unfit and unqualified for this office. >> reporter: president obama in ohio tearing into republicans, blaming them for standing by as trump took over the party. >> if your only agendaei negative -- negative is a euphemism -- crazy, based on lies, based on hoaxes, this is the nominee you get. >> reporter: first lady michelle obama equally passionate in new hampshire. >> it has shak me to my core in a way that i couldn't have predicted. >> reporter: expressing outrage about trump's lewd comments toward women. >> this is disgraceful. you belong to. no woman deserves to be treated this way. none of us desers is kind of abuse. >> reporter: vice president biden punctuating the point in this new interview for "meet the press." >> this guy, as i said, has acknowledged

she's in north carolina with the first lady, michelle obama. carol? >> all right. in her battle to win the state of north carolina, hillary clinton is bringing out a top surrogate, michelle obama. the two will make their first joint appearance of the campaign trail today at a rally in winston-salem. cnn has learned the first lady will pivot from her previous criticisms of donald trump and instead focus on why hillary clinton is the best choice for the white house. that event coming as new revelations from those hacked wikileaks e-mail continue to overshadow her campaign. cnn's joe johns joins me with more on that. >> reporter: the latest notable stolen wikileaks e-mail lays out an apparent relationship between former president bill clinton, the clinton foundation and a consulting company that was started in part by a guy named douglas bann. one of the people whose name has come up again and again in connection with the foundation. the stolen document was written apparently to shed light on the clinton foundation's activities, apparently written by band, who was onc

he has that worst contrast of himself with michelle obama. >> there's michelle obama talking about as a mother, trying to manage that campaign and tuck her kids into bed every night, and donald trump tries to distort that. >> it's disgusting. there's this clip that goes around that's really nasty that if hillary can't satisfy her man how can she satisfy the country. that's on tee shirts at his rallies, to try to pull any -- michelle obama into that is horrifying. >>> michael moore will be our next guest. and later, what will happen the day after the election if donald trump loses. ♪ every time i travel, it's the moments that are most rewarding. ♪ because if you let yourself embrace them, you'll never forget them. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts at members.marriott.com. recengrand prix race cars-benz made history when it sold for a record price of just under $30 million. and now, another mercedes-benz makes history selling at just over $30,000. and to think this one actually

she is receiving the seal of approval from michelle obama. appearing with her for the first time side by side during the campaign. michelle obama, one first lady to another first lady, told voters why they should pay attention and vote in the race. >> here's where i want to get real. if hillary doesn't win this election, that will be on us. it will be because we did not stand with her. it will be because we did not vote for her. and that is exactly what her opponent is hoping will happen. that's the strategy. to make this election so dirty and ugly that we don't want any part of it. >> reporter: with 11 days to go in the election, hillary clinton after iowa will return to florida for another weekend campaign swing there. they are trying to make sure that all paths to 270 for donald trump are blocked. she has the advantage now, but they want toward off complacency and ward off being too confident. john and christine. >> jeff zeleny. >>> campaign finance figures show the two candidates in very different financial positions heading into the fina

. >> and the first lady, michelle obama calling comments that trump has made about women beneath the basic standards of decen decency. >> and i can't believe that i'm saying that a candidate for president of the united states has bragged about sexual assaulting women. >> a lot to get to this hour. the hour ahead, i want to begin with cnn's senior media correspondent, than brian stelter, the host of reliable sources. i want to talk about this new aud audio covered today from howard stern. >> this is video of howard stern, many years ago, and the phrase "sexual predator" came up, which is why it was so notable. here's what happened. >> "donald, seriously, you know about sexual predators and things like that. >> "you are one. >> i didn't mean to say that." >> now, that's the extent of the exchange. you hear laughter there. everyone's joking around. you don't really quite make out how trump responds but he's being called a sexual predator. >> and he mumbles. >> he appears to be mimicking something. >> that's right. the latest reminder of all of these thousands of hours of tapes and video

he wouldn't understand that michelle obama was talking about barack obama and michelle obama and their children. and the children of america. he's incapable of understanding what words mean. the latest nbc wall street journal poll seems to indicate that most americans understand michelle obama. 59% have a favorable view of michelle obama, making her the most popular political name in the poll. donald trump was the least popular, with a 29% favorable rating. and we have breaking news tonight about the first 100 days of the trump presidency. tomorrow, in gettysburg, pennsylvania, donald trump will announce his agenda for the first 100 days, but if you're one of the lucky ones who gets fund raising e-mails from the trump campaign, you already have the 100 days agenda, because eric trump included it in tonight's round of begging for money for the fake billionaire who cannot afford to pay for his own presidential campaign. in addition to begging for money over and over again in the e-mail, the e-mail says this is what my father is determined to do in his first 100 days in office. this is wh

that this is something michelle obama wanted to do. it isn't as though the clint on campaign wrote the speech for her. you could hear strains of the stranded speech she started to give later to hillary later on in her address, but it was quite a sharp and passionate speech from michelle obama that the clinton campaign was very much viewed as something of a gift. you can see in that speech that michelle obama was willing to go places and say things that hillary clinton has so far been too cautious to say. you know, the tone that she took on the debate stage in that second debate when she was talking about the tape that surfaced in 2005 was one that was very sober, she was clearly very careful. they were very focused on making sure she did not appear to be rattled by these accusers that donald trump has focused on that have accused bill clinton of sexual indiscretions or harassment or abuse. they wanted to make sure she didn't seem that way. she broadened out her conversation to include others that her campaign believes donald trump has

why is it personal for michelle obama? can you get into her head and heart. >> she talked about this shook her to her core. she speaks as a mom, and it's resonant in a way that it's not when hillary clinton talks about being a mom and being a grandmother. but i think it's also personal because of the birther issue. i mean, president obama and michelle obama took that very personally. >> being called an illegal alien when you're in the white house. >> exactly. that was very personal for them. you have seen kind of a new energy, new passion from both of them in the last few days. >> when we come back, let me finish with something not having to do with what's become this depressing political campaign. this is "hardball," the place for politics. my name is barbara and i make dog chow natural. now that i work there, i value the food even more. i feed it to yoshi because there are no artificial colors, preservatives and it's made with real chicken. i'm so proud to make dog chow natural in davenport, iowa. more "sit" per roll. mo

look how happy that makes michelle obama. i don't really totally understand why i'm so attached to this vegetable garden, beyond the obvious reasons that i am a card-carrying member of the liberal vegetable lobby. but if there is a steady stream of images in bill clinton tilling the soil, deadheading stuff, that would be a legacy to celebrate. that does it for us tonight. a o celebrate.

no stronger surrogate than michelle obama. thomas. >> we hear that katy perry's song is in the background. we are getting from monica alba from information of this stadium. the capacity there is about 14,000. clinton really does not hold coliseum stadium style events. this is the larger ones that chris, you have seen. >> reporter: oh, without a doubt. it is a double whammy, right? you start to realize as you are going from state to state. you see what organizations does for you. i mean this is not 14,000 people just show up out of nowhere. these are 14,000 people who have come with the help of the clinton campaign and the democratic committee here and the help of the local folks. so this is been a coordinated effect to get folks out. having said that, having the first lady here is something you unique and it is not going to be a first lady some what longer. i wanted my kids to see her while she's still our first african-american, first lady. this is a big time for them in the stage where the top three races for president, for

michelle obama is the one that's trending on twitter. here is a key chunk of what she had to say. >> this is something that we can ignore or sweep under the rug just another footnote in a sad election season. this was not just a lewd conversation, this was not just a locker room banter. this was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexual predatorily behavior of bragging and kissing and groping women, using language that many of us are worried of our children hearing it when we turn on the tv. it makes matters worse, announcing it, this is not a nice incident. it is count less examples of how he treated women in his whole life. i have to tell you that i listened to all of this and i feel it so personally, i am sure that many of you do, too, particularly the women of the shameful comments about our bodies. the disrespect of our ambitions and intellect and the believes that you can do anything you want to a woman? it is cruel. it is frightening. and the truth is, it hurts. it hurts. it is like that sickle ce sinni feeling

who is this michelle obama? >> this is the real michelle obama. i think the emotion you hear in her voice. her ability to really articulae personally and how this can impact this nation. you're hearing something from the heart. this is not made up. this is her. >> she said, "i feel it so personally and the truth is, it hurts. it hurts." why does she feel it so personally? >> i don't know exactly but for any woman that has experienced your body being talked about in a negative way. you feel that pain and that hurt. i think that is what she is talking about. just the amount of disrespect that these lewd comments that this gentleman has made is just ridiculous. >> it does feel as if she has had some experience. >> it's saddening, it's disgusting. it is really unacceptable. >> i don't know what she's reflecting in terms of some personal life or whatever, but she had to go down this road several times in her political life. in 2008, she raised a lot of eyebrows with her line, i'll probably mangle it. but you know what i'm talking about. if you can't co

to get back to michelle obama's speech for a moment. the thing that's important about this apparent gender divide is that, what he is doing in going hard after the white male vote assumes that all the white males will go in that direction. michelle obama was so beautifully clear in saying this is not the men that i know. this is not the men in my family. so many of us felt that way. my father would be horrified by this. my husband. horrified. so there is all these great men out there who have daughters, who have mothers and sisters who would be just as horrified as a lot of the women. >> let me bring up something uncomfortable that the trump people are bringing up. i don't know that it's completely unfair of them to do so. which is, did the left and the media and many feminists take too lightly the accusations against bill clinton in the 1990s, the accusations of rape from juan nita broaddrick and assault and rape from paula jones? >> i think republicans before trump used to claim the moral high ground on issues of these things. they wo

i think michelle obama really lent voice to that. she did it in such a personal way, i thought she was fantastic. >> bakari? >> i thought tonight you could hear it in her voice. the two most dynamic speeches given in this entire cycle by anybody on either side have both been given by the same person in michelle obama. her speech at the convention and her speech today. she spoke as a mother, she spoke as the first lady. the most amazing part of this speech other than the fact she never had to mention his name was that she didn't speak as a democrat or republican. this wasn't black or white, but this was about human decency. michelle obama took this race to a point where everyone can comprehend. when my 11-year-old stepdaughter got home i made sure she sat down and she watched this 30 minutes of history to see the grace and poise that is michelle obama. one thing that everyone can agree on, democrats and republicans on this panel and other panels to km, fcome, fox cnn, msnbc it doesn't matter, michelle obama has been the epitome of gra

>> the first lady michelle obama in an unprecedented emotional speech. really surprising her supporters and setting this campaign on edge. good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. christine romans, no show. it is friday, october 14th. a defining moment in the race for president. donald trump with a defensive conspiracy laced diatribe against the media and the women who accuse him of kissing or groping or sexual assault. overnight, one of the accusers spoke out in an interview adding detail to her claims. this with anderson cooper. she said it was trump's claims about sexual misconduct to anderson in the second debate that inspired her to go public to "the new york times." >> when you specifically asked trump had he ever groped a woman or i forget how you phrased it and he said no, i literally wanted to throw something at the tv or punch the tv. that was sunday night. monday morning, i found myself writing an e-mail. letter to the editor to "the times." >> more from the interview later in the show. first, trump's remarkable defense against

and we'll see what effect michelle obama can have. everyone says she is the most effective speaker for hillary clinton on the campaign trail. the clinton campaign certainly believes that. let's listen to michelle obama in arizona today. >> perhaps livin' life high up in a tower, in a world of exclusive clubs, measuring success by wins and losses, the number of zeros in your bank account, perhaps you develop a different set of values. maybe with so little exposure to people who are different than you becomes easy to take advantage of those who are down on their luck, folks who play by the rules, pay what they owe. because to you -- [cheers and applause] -- to you, those folks just aren't very smart. and seem somehow less deserving. and, and, if you, you think this way, then it's easy to see this country as us versus them. and it's easy to dehumanize them, to treat them with contempt. because you don't know them. you can't even see them. maybe that's why this candidate thinks certain immigrants are criminals instead of folks who work th

let me play you now some sound from michelle obama. she was out today in new hampshire stumping for hillary clinton. in her speech the first lady eviscerated trump, most powerfully by detailing her disgust of trump's vulgarities caught on videotape and what they mean not just to voters but all women. 3 >> this is not something that we can ignore. it's not something we can just sweep under the rug as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season. because this was not just a lewd conversation. this wasn't just locker room banter. this was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexually predatory behavior and actually bragging about kissing and groping women, using language so obscene that many of us were worried about our children hearing it when we turn on the tv. and to make matters worse, it now seems very clear that this isn't an isolated incident. it's one of countless examples of how he has treated women his whole life, and i have to tell you that i listen to all of this and i feel it so personally. and

she quoted michelle obama saying when they go low, we go high. talking about how it impacted people. michelle obama talking with the campaign feels is a powerful way about her own personal experience as a woman, raising daughters. as well as trying to send the right message to sons, men and others. hillary clinton has struggled over the course of the political career with how much to put the fact that she is, you know, a woman at the forefront of her political candidacy. she's done it more this time around than she did in 2008. but you are still seeing her handle it differently than, of course, michelle obama who has been more forthright. >> also one of the most -- well, if not the most powerful speaker of all the surrogates in either party. michelle obama has carved out a unique role in the campaign starting with the convention in philadelphia. now certainly this is her sixth appearance, peter alexander. they have been on college campuses. she's reaching out to millennials in a way hillary clinton has not. i spoke to a long-time democratic elect
