recently -- nevada senator deb fischer has since re-endorsed trump -- after initially dropping him after the video was released. and again -- senator joni ernst says she does not defend donald trump's comments -- calling them -- inexcusable. we've got you covered live in new hampton -- macleod hageman -- kwwl news. senator ernst was wrapping up her 88th stop -- during her 99- county tour of the state. an area farmer is given a six-month prison sentence for selling corn -- that he had pledged as collateral on the farmer -- 59- year-old leroy jones -- was sentenced in u-s district court this week. he'll also have to pay nearly 138- thousand dollars in restitution. jones admitted to selling more than 90-thousand bushels of corn that he'd pledged as collateral in federal farm service agency loans in 20-14 and 20-15. an iowa man is accused of stealing some of his grandmother's where 23-year-old colton rankin is in custody on theft and burglary charges. police there say rankin's grandmother called them when she noticed jewelry missing. she suspected her grandson of becuase of what she called a

like senators john thune and deb fischer. but i mean, that's got to be the last time they'll flip-flop, right? surely there are no more bomb shell revelations about trump that will come to light right after they change their minds. >> damning new accusations in donald trump's presidential campaign is reeling. several women coming forward. physical advances on them. >> this headline from the new york times, the latest in a flurry of accusations from women about donald trump. >> one told the "new york times" that trump groped and kissed her on an airplane back in the '80s. another says that he kissed her when they were waiting for an elevator together. >> also breaking overnight, a former "people" magazine reporter has now accused donald trump of assaulting her in 2005. >> seth: now trump denied the allegations calling them ludicrous at a rally today. but here is the problem for trump. there is very good reason to be why? because an irrefutable inside source told us so, donald trump. >> you know i'm automatically attracted to b

we're not even talking about any democratic defection. >> like the deb fischers and john thunes of the world who said i'm not going to support him, i think he should step aside, but he didn't so i'm going to vote for him? >> if you suddenly decided not to support donald trump, you would have a hard problem with your base. if you assume donald trump is going to lose in november and lose by a big margin, history is not going to look very kindly on where you were on this. so, again, there are a lot of cross-pressures. i think some are just deciding i'm still going to vet with the party and see how everything shakes out. >> you guys brought us the new numbers about an hour ago. donald trump down by about four points in hnorth carolina, up b one point in ohio. he's still in the hunt in these states. >> good news for donald trump in all the polls we've actually taken in the last week in key battlegrounds. he's up or tied in ohio, peter. he's in the ball game. but here is his dilemma. he has to win all four states of florida, ohio, pennsylvania and north carolina, and only one poll we have of

back likee come senator deb fischer from nebraska and the republican nominee from colorado. they realized when they bolted from trump, what did that mean? what are they going to do? vote for hillary? i think they need each other. that is what i want the party to get back to. balloted those down candidates to help in that state. get back to can attacking hillary clinton and winning this race. john: you are a compelling, persuasive, articulate presence. so we thought we needed to balance you out with something aswith somebody who is just compelling and persuasive. governor, let me ask you this question, how much of a problem do you think it is a lit -- it is politically for the clinton campaign that these wikileaks e-mails have been dropped? there is a lot of chatter, but how do you -- but how big of a threat do think this is to her? what we have seen, there isn't much there. it certainly doesn't seem from what has been released. is whythe bigger concern is wikileaks dripping this out so slowly? if wikileaks is supposed to be -- supposed to be the entity that releases to the p

deb fischer of nebraska renewed her support for the nominee, saying yesterday, "he decided he would not step aside. i respect his decision. i support the republican ticket and it's a trump-pence ticket." this as marco rubio, who avoided reporters' questions for days, reaffirmed his support, saying i do not want hillary clinton to be our next president. another republican senator in a tough re-election, pat toomey, maintained his independence. >> i remain unpersuaded. i don't know how this is going to turn out. as i said, i think hillary clinton is a hopelessly flawed candidate. i could never support hillary clinton. i've made that clear. paul ryan is in a very different situation than i am in. he endorsed donald trump, i never did endorse donald trump. he has a responsibility to his colleagues. >> also keeping his distance, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell refused to say trump's name at an event in kentucky on wednesday, though he rebuked trump's outspoken skepticism of trade agreements, "america needs to be a trading nation. if you add up all the free trade agreements to all the

fischer agree and there are similar calls from mia love in the house. outside of capitol hill, notable republicans from across the country, slammed the republican nominee in no uncertain terms. >> despite it all, trump struck a defiant tone. trump spoke to reporters on saturday, where he vowed to stay in the race no matter what. he also made a surprise appearance at the foot of trump tower where he greeted cheers on the sidewalk and then came the tweets. he started on saturday posting, "the media and establishment want me out of the race so badly, i will never drop out of the race, will never let my supporters down." he then cited his tremendous support, except for some republican leadership. and also tweeted, "so many self righteous hypocrites. watch their poll numbers and elections go down." at a fundraiser in illinois, president obama seemed it to comment on trump's remarks about women that were exposed over the weekend. >> one of the most disturbing things about this election is just the unbelievable rhetoric coming at the top of the republican tick

this crowd has supported and opposed in disgust before reendorsing him, john thune, deb fischer and mike crapo. then there's pat toomey. who will be in charge of the nuclear codes. pat toomey has his own answer. and that's thing 2 tonight. see, for the entire general election, senator pat toomey has simply refused to say whether or not he'll support the gop nominee. he won't endorse nor will he rule out voting for donald trump. he won't give a simple direct answer one that every single american has to answer for themselves all of which made for an interesting debate last night. >> i know you have been waiting for this debate. in fact, i know you've been waiting for this moment to say whether or not you will vote for the nominee of your party. so is it yea or nay? >> so, jim, unlike katie mcginty, i'm not a hyperreflexive ideologue who thinks he has to give blind obedience to his party's nominee. >> so i guess that means you haven't been waiting for this debate? >> i have refused to endorse donald trump. katie mcginty says that's supporting donald trump. that doesn't make any sense. >> lo

then you have people like senator deb fischer of nebraska and john thune, who are not up for re-election but called on trump to step aside, then saying they would vote for trump anyway. it's very dizzying but this is basically what donald trump has done to the rest of the party. >> thune, a member of the senate republican leadership, the one that really kind of made the break after the video came out. it's really confounding and interesting. >> by the way, the back and forth all before the new range of accusations that came out overnight which only puts them in a weirder situation in congress right now. one worth watching. >> thank you, manu. >>> so you see down at the bottom of the screen we are waiting to hear donald trump. he will be speaking live for the first time since the new allegations have come out. we will take you there when he does take the stage. looks like he has some warmup acts that always happen before the candidates speak happening right now. but trump is already taking out his fury on twitter and soon, it appears he's going to be taking out much more and focusing his

there are other republicans like deb fischer and johnson -- john thune who strongly condemned him and they are back and/or -- on board. scarlet: the other interesting thing is that paul ryan was speaking on friday today and he made his case against hillary clinton but he did so by never mentioning donald trump same. there must have been an interesting dance. >> it is a very interesting dance. paul ryan came out publicly some of these allegations came out against trump and said he would no longer defend him. he is still voting for trumpet what he is doing is trying to set the stage for a hillary clinton white house where republicans will keep at least the house if not also the senate. he wants to take rack the reins alt-right and nativist government. he made clear that house republicans if they are elected back to congress, they will pursue their agenda. they will not accept some sort of mandate for hillary clinton which has been accepted in the past but mostly undying concept. republicans have not accepted it. matt: thanks for joining us. scarlet: how can mom's stay professionally rel

like bill bennett who had been out there essentially speaking -- talking up trump, like deb fischer in the senate. there's really only one female gop senator who hasn't called for him to step aside which is joni ernst. so i'm hard pressed as are all of the political comment caters to come up with any kind of a historical precedent for what we've seen over the past 48 hours. not only just in terms of the lewd comments that are also frankly predatory in nature, but also just in terms of what we're seeing with this civil war erupting in the republican party with republicans down the ballot now as well panicking and it is relevant and it is significant to play this up because this comes at a time when it appeared according to the polls that trump was really consolidating the gop base for all of the ranker that had taken place throughout the primary, he was consolidating. >> let me come back to you on this, tucker. a couple trump tweets, the media and the establishment want me out of this race so badly, he said he's not dropping out, he also told the "washington post" and "wall street journ
