and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hi there, everybody. good morning. welcome to "today." nice to have you along with us as we start the week. >> let's get right to our top story. we have new details on the fbi's investigation into another attempted assassination attempt on president trump. the second in nine weeks. >> the former president speaking out about the incident, thanking law enforcement and secret service for the quick response. this incident took place while trump was golfing in west palm beach, florida, yesterday. authorities say a secret service agent spotted and fired at a suspect just outside the golf course fence line. >> that suspect is identified as ryan routh now in custody. investigators say he was located roughly 300 to 500 yards away from the former president and armed with an ak-47-style rifle.

>> we have the latest on the investigation, the secret service response and what happens now with the security concerns and election day still 50 days away. we'll begin with garrett haake outside the golf club where this took place this morning. good morning. >> hey, savannah. good morning to you. donald trump was five holes into his round of golf here sunday when is secret avenues agent spotted a man in the bushes with a rifle and opened fire. other secret service agents whisked donald trump to safety. now the suspect is set to appear in court in west palm beach any moment now where he's expected to face federal criminal charges. this morning, donald trump is safe, a suspect is in custody and the fbi is investigating what it calls an apparent assassination attempt on the former president sunday at his florida golf course. authorities say a secret service agent spotted a rifle in the bushes near where mr. trump was golfing sunday afternoon and opened fire. >> they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of time from where the president was at, and

he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engaged that individual. >> agents rushed mr. trump to safety. according to the sheriff, a witness saw the suspect run out of the bushes and jump into a black nissan. he was arrested a short time later. three law enforcement sources tell nbc news that suspect has been identified as 58-year-old ryan wesley routh. routh was unarmed when arrested and it's not clear if he ever fired a weapon. but investigators say they recovered a semiautomatic rifle with a scope, two backpacks and a go pro camera from the scene. >> probably between 300 and 500 yards. but with a rifle and a scope like that, that's not a long distance. >> the suspect has a long criminal and civil court history. he's also been outspoken on his support for ukraine. in an interview with semafor last year, routh discovered his efforts helping volunteers with the war effort there. according to public efforts,

routh vote in a democratic primary in march. in 2020, routh wrote to mr. trump on social media saying he supported him in 2016, but expressing disappointment with the former president. overnight, mr. trump thanking the secret service and law enforcement for keeping him safe and said it was a, quote, interesting day, writing earlier in campaign fund-raising e-mails, quote, my resolve is only stronger after another attempt on my life. sunday's apparent assassination attempt would be the second attempt on mr. trump's life in three months. a july shooting during a political rally in butler, pennsylvania, injured mr. trump's ear and left the suspect dead. that incident is now being investigated by law enforcement and congress. no motive has yet been determined. both vice president harris and president biden released statements overnight condemning political violence and commending the work of the secret service here in trying to keep donald trump safe. president biden's statement going further, suggesting that the secret service might need

every resource capability and protective measure to ensure the former president's safety. house speaker mike johnson on television this morning with a similar message, suggesting congress could get involved, savannah. >> garrett haake leading us. >> we are joined by tom winter. good morning, tell us what you know about the suspect and any possible motive. >> good morning. that's the big question, the possible motive. we do know some details about this individual, ryan wesley routh's past, and he has ties to north carolina and to hawaii. he has an extensive criminal history, something that will be in focus for investigators. he is expected to be charged perhaps as soon as today federally and that will be filed in miami. the big key going forward is trying to determine what got him to this point. he had posted on social media previously that he had voted for donald trump in 2016, but at some point changed his views on trump.

he had traveled to ukraine in 2022 and expressed strong support for ukraine in their fight against russia in their unprovoked invasion of ukraine. >> tom, is this kind of a lone wolf situation that investigators are looking at or do they think others might be involved? >> there's no sign at this point that there's any sort of accomplice or somebody that was him yesterday or helping him out. i mentioned the extensive criminal history. looking at that, should he have been able to purchase this gun, because it might appear that that would be illegal. if so, if somebody sell it to him illegally, or did he ask somebody to buy it for him. that could potentially yield charges for that individual or individuals. it's just too soon to say. that's what they're looking at. big picture here, looking a week away and less than a mile away, the security picture for the secret service going forward, it's this exact type of individual that they're so concerned about, and really how does this election look going forward as these candidates criss-cross the country, what

will they need to do at the rallies or even on their own personal time as we saw yesterday, to keep them safe. >> tom winter, thank you. let's get more perspective. we'll bring in former secret service agent and contributor and former fbi special agents. let's start with the secret service, what happened yesterday. you had a very sharp-eyed agent who spotted this in the bushes and a witness was key to how it unfolded. >> the agent was leapfrogging ahead of the president as he's playing golf. the mass contingency stays with the president, around him, protecting him, you have the asset, the agent going ahead. truly for that agent to spot somebody in the bushes, to notice a rifle, and then also to take aim, because that individual was outside the fence. even when you take aim, shooting such an important thing in the secret service, because the idea is when you're going to shoot it's probably going to be around a lot of people because the president is around a lot of

people. for the agent to have the wherewithal to take that shot. we are fortunate that there was a witness. and that does beg the question of what kind of assets were outside of that area, we're looking at 300 to 500 yards, about three football fields at minimum. it's a far distance. are there any law enforcement assets? because the witness was there and got the license plate, they were only able to catch him at that point because he was driving through license plate readers on the highway and that is really what helped catch him. so we're looking at something different now, not just that perimeter security that typically is what the secret service and law enforcement authorities were focusing on, but second incident, both times, long distances, outside. >> he's played there many times and they've probably had secret service and a perimeter set up many times. what needs to be fixed right now? >> more, you need more. we've got the united nations general assembly, it's u.s. secret service that does all that protection.

so all those foreign heads of state that are coming to the u.s., they get protection. a lot of people may wonder why. we don't want anybody getting assassinated on u.s. soil, so you've got that manpower needed, to protect the candidates. i think at this point it is really all hands on deck. secret service has maxed out their people. they have finite resources at this moment. long-term can they get more agents, absolutely. but right now they probably are talking to law enforcement partners asking for more assets. in a city like nypd, there's plenty. but in smaller towns or areas that don't have that manpower, i wouldn't be surprised for them to maybe ask for military assets to help with outer perimeter security. >> this profile that we're starting to see develop of this suspected gunman, what do you make of it? >> it's interesting, we're in this period of what's known as terrorism, you know what the target is going to be, but you don't know who the attacker is

going to be and you don't have a lot of intelligence on him. this individual very focused on ukraine. when you look through just the social media history, not former military, trying to arrange crazy schemes to bring different people from different countries to ukraine, talking about taiwan. this is a very scattered history. when you see an attack like we did just two months now, now we have this attempted one, it's the worry really now of copycats. if you just look forward, very tense political season, this has popped up a couple of times. if you remind ten years, we would be talking about isis. very similar pattern. >> you talk about a contagion. is part of that because people realize, hey, there's a vulnerability here with the secret service, i may actually be able to get a shot off? because someone did. >> yeah, if you just think about all the way back to congressman giffords, the idea was people go out in the open, they talk to their constituents, try to rally support. very difficult to do that whenever you have a scenario where people with assault rifles

can have standoff, can go after a target that's known. former president trump, he was just targeted two months ago and we still have somebody showing up just a few hundred yards away trying to repeat the attack. very dangerous time for the country and all of our leaders. >> good to have you here. thank you very much. >> nbc's capitol hill correspondent ryan nobles is in d.c. following the tiktok story for us. >> reporter: tiktok's owner bytedance plan to argue not only is this potential ban unconstitutional, it's not technologically possible. congress passed a law last year giving bytedance until january of 2025 to divest their q.in the app or the app would no longer be available in the u.s. lawmakers have argued that tiktok is being used by the chinese government as a way to capture the data of average

americans and to be used as a propaganda tool. they also believe it is a national security threat. on the other hand, bytedance says that banning the app would violate the first amendment rights not only of the company, but of the hundreds of millions of americans that use the platform. they're asking the federal court to render a decision soon in order to give the supreme court the final say before the ban is potentially set to take effect early next year. the bottom line, there is still a long road to go. >> ryan nobles for us there at the capitol, thank you. much more to get to, including the 76th prime time emmy awards held last night with stars out in force. lots of nostalgia as well. nbc's kaylee hartung is here with highlights. >> good morning to you both. so cohost dan levy said it best when he described the night as broadcast tv's biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services. the jokes kept coming, along with reunions, surprises and

history for the year's breakout hit, "shogun." >> the emmy goes to "shogun." television's biggest night, a show stopper for "shogun," bringing in a record 18 emmys in a single season, including outstanding drama series and a sweep of the top acting awards. >> "shogun" taught me that when people work together, we can make miracle. we can create a better future together. >> the lead actress becoming the the first actress of asian decent to win the category. >> this is to all the women who expect nothing and continue to be an example. >> but it was the comedies that brought the biggest shocker with "hacks" pulling off a surprise win for outstanding comedy over "the bear."

and jean smart taking home the emmy. >> still "the bear" was able to cook up some major wins. jeremy allen white served his second straight emmy for lead actor in a comedy. >> this show has changed my life. >> his castmate making history as the first latina named outstanding supporting actress in a cam -- comedy. >> how could i have thought it would be possible to be in the presence of meryl streep and carol burnett? >> reporter: the night paying tribute to nostalgic shows of yesteryear, reunite be ron howard and henry winkler, and the west wing, all with the father-son duo, eugene and dan heavy acting as host. >> my most important dad role ever, it has been being your dad. in "schitt's creek." it got me my first acting emmy. >> the limited series category a

which she'll explain. >> good morning, guys. clearly, i'm on a golf course. there are worse places to be. but let's take a look at the tropical system down through the carolinas. this is potential tropical cyclone eight, producing a lot of rain in and around the wilmington, north carolina, area. it's a slow mover, moving northwest at just 3 miles per hour. this could become tropical storm helene before it makes land fall, but there is the chance that even if this doesn't become a tropical system, we're looking at gusty winds along the coast. a lot of rain, too. potential for flooding concerns along north and south carolina where we have tropical storm warnings in effect. we could see as much as 6 inches of rain in the wilmington area that could lead to flooding. winds up in myrtle beach could get up to 60 miles an hour, so that could cause some power outages as well. something we will keep a close eye on as this storm sits off the coast of north carolina right now. that's the weather across the country. we will get to your local forecast coming up in the next

mr. trump's detail since the butler shooting and including more bulletproof glass at certain outdoor events. lawmakers in both parties praising the secret service for its quick response, while questioning whether more should be done. >> we need to take a serious look at whether we are allocating resources correctly, do we need more secret service agents. >> there has been two attempts and they have been able to get close enough to the former president, it is deeply disturbing. i'm concerned that donald trump is actually not safe. >> what happened sunday, a contrast to the attempted assassination in july. in florida, officials say mr. trump was 300 to 500 yards from where the weapon was spotted, and walked away unharmed. in pennsylvania, the shooter was about 150 yards at a publicly announced event and fired a shot that injured the former president's ear. the secret service acknowledged a systemic breakdown in butter,

last year. the fatal implosion of that titan submersible. >> today the coast guard begins a new chapter in the ongoing investigation into what went wrong. >> nbc's stephanie gosk is here with the latest on it. stephanie, good morning. >> hi, guys. good morning. the coast guard's long-awaited public hearings on the loss of the titan submersible are set to begin today in charleston, south carolina. the hearings aim to uncover facts about the vessel's implosion on the way to the titanic wreckage and to prevent similar incidents from ever happening again. nearly 15 months after the titan submersible began its doomed journey to the bottom of the ocean, today the u.s. coast guard will begin the first public hearings as part of their investigation into what caused the tragedy. >> this is one of the most complex investigations that i have ever been involved in. >> titan was exploring the wreck of the titanic in june of 2023 when all contact was lost less than two hours into its dive. the extensive international search for the vessel and the five men onboard captivated the world's attention.

>> let's get right to the story the whole world is watching, the urgent search for a missing submersible. >> four days later, the remains of the titan were discovered on the seafloor, using a remotely operated vehicle, roughly 1,600 feet from the bow of the titanic. officials said it suffered a catastrophic implosion occurring its underwater descent, killing all five passengers. >> it is a difficult day for all of us, and it's especially difficult for the families. >> the coast guard says the purpose of the hearing, which will involve witnesses from all over the world, is to uncover the facts of what happened and make recommendations for future deep-sea explorations. >> if there's any detection of a criminal act, we would make a recommendation to the department of justice. >> the sub was discovered at a depth of more than two and a half months where the pressure is more than two and a half times of that on the surface. the company that built the submersible was heavily

criticized over its lack of testing and use of experimental materials. titanic director james cameron criticized the sub's design. >> we didn't remember the lesson of the titanic. the guys at ocean gate didn't because of the arrogance and the hubris that sent that ship to its doom is exactly what sent those people and that sub to their fate. >> one of the men killed in the sub, the founder of ocean gate, addressed those concerns in 2022. >> we have broken some rules to make this. i think we have broken it with logic and good engineering behind me. carbon and titanium, there's a rule you don't do that. well, i did. >> there are so many unanswered questions in this case. the hearings will include a whole spectrum of former employees, scientists and experts. one big unknown, if there is any indication the passengers knew where the dive was going wrong. the sub had a text message communication system onboard. it is unclear if any of those logs are out there and available.

>> are you ready to choose a champion? >> it was amazing. you've got a shot at winning this competition. hey, everybody. we're back. it is 8:30. what a beautiful monday. hello! welcome in. it is the 16th day of september. this month is flying by. and we just came outside to say hello to all the beautiful people who are on our plaza, including that cute little baby. oh, hold on! what's that baby's name? >> this is evelyn. >> evelyn. >> say hello and good morning! >> oh, my god! evelyn is evelyn. evelyn, we got a smile from evelyn.

good to see you. >> we love babies around here. still ahead on this half hour, a very important place in the nfl that most fans don't think about, the cafeteria. kaylee hartung paid a visit to the houston texans for a look at the highly personalized menus that fuel the players. it's a sweet story and we can't wait for kaylee to share it. also ahead, people's style and beauty director is here to walk us through a very popular list. these are their beauty award winners. plus, we're getting ready for flu season. we decided it would be a good idea to get our flu shots live on the plaza, or in studio 1a. but as we do, we will answer some of the most common questions that people have about the vaccine and flu season. >> we can't wait. >> all right. meantime ahead on the 3rd hour, "queer eye" star will join us to fill us in on the return of his nbc talk show. >> first, let's take you to fairfield, connecticut, where we

find craig and dylan this morning on the golf course. craig is hosting the 3rd annual bottoms-up invitational in support of the colon cancer alliance. this is something so near and dear to you. i know you do it in honor of your brother lawrence. tell us about this year's event. >> hi, guys. good morning. this is the third time we have done it. we started it a few years ago after my brother, you know, was diagnosed at 39, he ended up dying at 43 from colorectal cancer. when he was alive, we became involved in research, advocacy, screenings. when he died, we decided we would keep it up. last night, dylan dreyer put on a heck of a show. we had a concert last night, we'll play golf today. for the third straight year, we raised more than 1 million last night. all the money raised goes to the alliance. so we are just honored and grateful that we have so many

friends and strangers that come out every year to support the event. the highlight wasn't a concert. it's not going to be the golf today. savannah, my niece and my nephew got up last night for the first time. they talked about what the event means for them. and it was impactful for our family. it was impactful for everyone in the room. and, so, yeah, so it's been a -- as i say every year, my brother is laughing because he didn't play golf. the music played last night at the concert, he wouldn't have enjoyed that. he didn't drink. he didn't party. so all of it is just sort of ironic. but it is because of friends like this. >> thank you. i just want to add, you know, you can't put this on without the support of your friends and your family and the companies that, you know, just help raise money for this important cause. and you have the best -- i feel like now that i get to meet your family, every year we look forward to this every year. i saw your mom, i saw your dad. i was meeting aunts and uncles. i get to meet your incredible

family, but so many folks from "the today show." our whole crew was there to support you. you have such a good group of friends and family. i look forward to seeing them every year. the fact that we get to be a part of this event you put on every year, it is a lot that you put on here. now at least we have some good weather. >> oh, the weather is perfect. thank you for that. ladies, here is the highlight this year. dylan dreyer could very well win a brand-new car today. >> oh, that's right! >> there is a hole-in-one contest. dylan is a great golfer. there's a par 3. if she puts it in the hole, she's going to win a cadillac. >> oh, that's right! >> okay. >> come on, dylan! you got this. but before that, can we get a quick check of the weather? >> we certainly can. i will say, craig, you know i always come in last in every golf tournament i ever play in. >> not this one. >> this time last year it was 45 degrees.

the rain was coming in sideways. the weather was awful. but we've redeemed ourselves this year. it is going to be upper 70s, low 80s across the east. and we do have that flood risk down across the carolinas. the tropical system is making its way on shore. let's take you through the middle of the week. we are looking at the unsettled weather to stick around out west, too, but that is some much needed rain. warm weather moves into the great lakes. temperatures near 80 for most of the week. we will finish off with a chance of rain later in the week across the midwest. very nice down along the gulf coast. 80s and 90s for highs. not a tropical system bu khoi k. monday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we are seeing a lot of clouds and watching those clouds very closely for the potential of some rain. and take a look at our high temperatures. only in the low 70s today. breezy winds. and once again, that slight chance of showers tomorrow will

be partly cloudy. and we keep the cool weather on wednesday as we get another rain chance and even the potential of some thunderstorms. but after that we're clearing out and warming up and we're back t >> and and that's your latest forecast. back to you guys. >> guys, thank you. everyone loves their grandkids. look at this. i'm sorry. cutest in the world. >> so cute. all right, guys. coming up next, we are taking you inside with people that keep the houston texans well fed. kaylee hartung will take a look at that winning recipes. but, first, this is "today" on nbc.

♪ we are back at 8:38 with our

inside the game series, taking you behind the scenes of the nfl. >> the houston texans moved to 2-0 last night after that big win against the chicago bears. they are winning off the field in a surprising place, the team cafeteria. >> here to explain that, kaylee hartung. >> so think about it. for as much time as these players may spend in workouts, in the film room to get ready for the game, the effort to keep their bodies fueled comes down to what they put in them. so for three, sometimes four meals a day, they're depending on their cafeteria where the dedicated workers and staff serve more than just good meals. >> at nrg stadium, as the houston texans practice for sunday night against the bears, there was another major preparation just 20 yards away. inside the texans performance cafe, the team cafeteria, a dedicated staff is fueling the players. >> can you toss the cucumbers on the line with sesame seeds? >> the chefs lead a staff of 23

workers, preparing up to 680 meals a day. >> they're sitting down at our table, in our kitchen, and they're getting a meal. you see guys instantly relax, kind of breathe a sigh of relief, just kind of unwind and refuel, recharge, and get ready to tackle the day again. >> the staff members that work inside this cafe, the attention to detail, the friendliness that they serve with is priceless. >> as soon as the players walk off the practice field, a personalized smoothie is waiting. >> first stop after practice? >> a shake. >> what's in there? >> i tell them load it up with protein. >> every smoothie in there is a different color. how much do you appreciate the attention to detail the staff has? >> they're unbelievable. if somebody has joint pain, they might throw extra collagen in there. they do an unbelievable job making sure everybody is catered to.

>> that customization, extending to many of the plates served up. >> we're making hawaiian bowls today. >> dalton eats about eight ounces of protein. >> salmon poke, so we have four ounces. we're going to do three ounces of chicken. >> oh, we're getting down to the decimal point. >> yeah, absolutely. you see, an egg counts as one ounce. >> presentation, a+. >> the staff going to great length to make sure they feel the comforts of home here. >> i hear when you first came to houston just before last season, word got out that there was one item in particular that you were going to need. >> they got me like gallons of this stuff. it's the pepper plant hot sauce. it's like the training camp staple for me. >> these are the goods. >> that's the sauce, yeah. have you tasted it? >> no. >> it smells exactly like it tastes.

>> oh! >> denise has been working as a cafeteria supervisor for 22 years. they're two of the unsung heroes of the texans. and the players love singing their praises. >> miss denise and miss selise, two of the best people in the world and i'm happy to see them every day. >> long snapper john weeks helps collection donations from his teammates during the holidays to give them bonuses. >> they're a big part of our family, so we do what we can with donations to try to make christmas and other things better for them and easier for them. >> when selise had a baby earlier this year, the players and coaches surprised her by paying off her bills. >> it was a shock to me. they called me out of the blue and gave me a huge surprise. they were like, i know you are going to have a baby, and i want you to feel comfortable at home and we're going to take care of you. so that was so nice. >> she was crying.

>> a team spirit that has become family. >> so i got to try that hawaiian bowl made for dalton schultz, and i can confirm it was excellent. didn't even need the hot sauce. but i really wish i could have been there for the big meal the night before their sunday game. the guys were telling me they go all-out. lobster, steak, whatever you can dream, it is all there. and it is the only night of the week that they are treated with dessert. the chef's famous chocolate chip cookies, clearly a winning recipe. >> oh, no! >> by the way, it is not a cafeteria. it is a restaurant. let's be real. >> individualized. >> thank you. that's really cool. >> a lot of fun. coming up next, guys, from skin care to hair, we will re

i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco. this morning on the 3
