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.

HAYES: They'll let you do anything.
