CHRIS HAYES (HOST): Right. 

GOLDBERG: How many times have you done that? There's this whole question -- it's not just about sex anymore. It's about predation. 

HAYES: Let's also remember that one of the men who is advising Donald Trump is Roger Ailes.

HAYES: Who was -- his entire M.O., as alleged in lawsuits which so far he and his lawyers have denied and I should be very clear, but as alleged in Gretchen Carlson's lawsuit, as alleged by on the record and off the record sources over a variety of decades was essentially using his position of power to do precisely what Donald Trump talks about doing. 

GOLDBERG: Right. And Donald Trump is there bragging that this is kind of what he's able to use his position of power of power to do.

HAYES: They'll let you do anything.
