Two notes before we get into the podcast. We recorded this at noon on Saturday because we wanted to get it to you as fast as we could, but things are changing rapidly.

We promise we will be back in your feed after tomorrow's debate. Also, we have to say it. This podcast is not suitable for young listeners.

It's the NPR Politics podcast and yeah, we can't believe we're here to talk about this either. I'm Tamer Keith. I cover the White House and the campaign.

I'm Sam Sanders, campaign reporter. Susan Davis, I cover Congress. And I'm Ron Elving, editor correspondent.

All of us are here at NPR HQ except for Ron and he is piped in from home. And we're here one day ahead of the second presidential debate.

Last night, the Washington Post released this tape of Donald Trump and we are going to play some clips. We are going to bleep certain words.

So if you are listening with your kids, you may want to just skip ahead a few minutes from here.

Here's the backstory. Donald Trump was recorded in 2005 while arriving on a tour bus to the set of a soap opera where he was filming a guest appearance.

He was on an entertainment show called Access Hollywood, which was filming a story about his guest appearance and Trump had a mic on.

This is what you call a hot mic. The bus was pulling up. They were meeting a woman from the show.

And here are a couple of clips from that. Billy Bush is the host and then there's Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

I moved on her. She was on a Palm Beach. I moved on her. I did try and f**k. She was married.

She was married.

And so this is Billy Bush's co-host that he's talking about. And Billy just sits there unless that happened.

And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture.

I said, I'll show you where that's some nice furniture. I took her out furniture. I moved on her like a f**k.

I couldn't get there. And she was married. And all of a sudden I see her. She's now got the big phony f**k.

And she's totally changed her looks. She's your girl's hottest.

So this is there pulling up and seeing the woman that's greeting Trump.

In the purple.

Whoa. Yes. Yes.

The Donald is good.
