that's a good sign. meanwhile, big debate tonight. we'll talk more about that, but we'll start with our top story. plenty of drama during the opening game of the world series between the kansas city royals and the new york mets, both on the field and in hom all $% across the country. natalie%is here with more on that >> you said, itmatt. it was@a long night filledith drama, as you said but not because of the game. millions of fans were watching the royals take on the mets last night when technical difficulties brought the opener of the fall classic to a halt. >> we have lost -- we have lost our picture. hi. we're having some technical difficulties. >> in the middle of the fourth inning for mets and royals fans it seemed like it was game over. >> i don't think it was a weather problem because it wasn't raining at the time of this. we lost power to the truck, we're being told, but as soon as we regain power we will get it back to kansas city. >> reaction on social media was instant. this is what happens when you don't pay the bills.

did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in? for four minutes technicians scrambled as analysts stretched. >> all right. i hear our music. does that mean we're going back to kansas city? >> the broadcast resumed with fox sports international coverage forced to take over. >> and the u.s. broadcasters of this event are having a oadcast issue. >> for another nine minutus everything seemed to be fine until it happened again. >> once again, we're having some technical difficulties in kansas ci. once we regain power to our truck, we will be going back there. are we heading back there now? >> it's not the first time things have gone wrong with all eyes on the big game. >> half the power is out. >> remember when the lights wt out during super bowl xlvii or 4% when an earthquake hit during game three of the 1989 world series in san francisco.

as for this technical difficulty, fox released a statement overnight saying in part that a rare electronics failure cause the both the primary and backup generators inside the fox sports production compound to lose power. and as the fall classic finally got up and running, turns out it was only the beginning after the royals tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. it went on for another five innings past 1:00 a.m. >> into right. granderson back, escobar tags and here comes escobar. >> when the royals beat the mets 5-4 in the bottom of the 14th, the longest game one in world series history. the longest game one and the longest night for the poor fox announcers who had to do a mean tap dance. >> we've all been there. it's no fun, and our hats go off to tm for trying their best. >> i know. i keep imagining some technician in a truck somewhere saying this wasn't for the coffee pot, no, okay. >> exactly. >> and, you know, the internet

was not kind, that's for sure. one other thing getting attention, the father of the royals starting pitcher edison volquez died in the dominican republic prior to the game. his wife told the team and asked her not to tell her husband until after he finished pitching. the team also asked fox not to broadcast it so he wouldn't have to hear it in the clubhouse and eventually his wife did tell him after he was taken in the game after pitching six innings, and he left the stadium with his family so our hearts go out to him as well. >> absolutely. >> natalie, thank you very much. >> we me now to politics, the presidential race, big night tonight. the republican candidates set to debate in colorado with a new front-runner in place. benn carson has now inched ahead of donald trump in national polls. this is just the late twist in an already volatile race. we've got it all covered for you this morning. we'll start with nbc's national correspondent peter alexander. he is in boulder ast the debate site. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this is debate night just ahead of us right now, and it will be

the top two republican candidates, two men with polar opposite personalities, donald trump and ben carson. how will trump respond for falling out of first for the first time? well, we may have got a clue overnight in a rally that sounded a lot like a locker room pep talk. >> when you get the numbers up, iowa, please. this is ridiculous. i mean, what is my cpetition. >> reporter: donald trump for the first time in months dealing with life somewhere other than rst place. >> i mean, i am second, it's not like terrible, but i don't like being second. second is terrible to me. what the hell are you people doing to me? >> reporter: republicans remain deeply divided. only 484 say they would support carson enthusiastically if he's the nominee, just 29% for trump and only 18% for jeb bush. still, trump quickly cast a potential loss as a campaign win. >> it's certainly a possibility that i won't make it. i'll still be proud of my effort because i think i've done very well.

>> i've about had it with these people. >> reporter: lagging behind in the polls ohio governor john kasich who stayed out of the fray until now ripping into his republican rivals, trump, carson and bush. >> i'm done with being polite and listening to this nonsense, and it's time we educate the american people about the consequences of very bad choices. >> reporter: after huddling with his family in houston, bush will try to kick start his campaign gearing up by hiking with veterans here in colorado but with weak poll numbers he faces a tough climb tonight. marco rubio's advisers telling nbc news they know he'll have a bullseye on his back. one major newspaper slammed the candidate overnight for his record of missing more roll calls than any other senator this year. the "sun sentinel" writing you are paid $174,000 per year to represent us, to fight for us, to solve our problems. you are ripping us off, senator. earlier this month rubio spoke out about the issue, defending himself o "today." >> eferyone that's run for president in the past h faced this. there are times when you're not

going to be there. my visions are for the country and for florida, and that's why i'm running for president. >> reporter: and it turvs out the first debate battle may have actually started last night over green rooms of all things. after a walk-through here a the site yesterday, chris christie and the rand paul cpaigns complained that the h)gher polling candidates received preferential treatment from the republican national committee. here's what the green rooms looked like. trump you can see with a spacious room, plush chairs, that flat screen. another tweet showed rand paul's with a white concrete set of walls and a toilet in the back and then for rubio, quote, check out marco's theater, all sorts of plush chairs in there for him and his team. all is well apparently thaernds well. the paul campaign tweeting out overnight they have finally upgraded their quarters and they are satisfied with the way things ended up. >> everybody wants a first class seat, right? peter alexander in boulder, thank you so much. let's bring in our panelist, nicole wallis, msnbc analyst and

former white house communications for president george w. bush and steve kornacki, msnbc political correspondent. >> is it fair to say that donald trump is a guy who depends a lot on confidence and bravado and now that he knows he's no longer the national front-runner, steve, i'll start with you, how is this hit to his ego going to impact his performance tonight in your opinion? >> it's interesting. i think we got a good tees last night of what to expect that. bravado and swagger, he thinks he has to crank it up a little bit in the situation where the national numbers are starting to fall but interesting thing is this. the fact that it's carson of all people who has overtaken him. carson has to be his target. when you look inside the numbers, there is no republican candidate who republican voters respect, like and really you could use the word revere more than ben carson, so there's a big risk there for donald trump in turning his fire on somebody like that. >> nicole, if you're ben carson you're now the front-runner nationally how does name pact your performance? >> i heard something comforting from a doctor of all people who said he was an excellent doctor

which doesn't surprise me, but back to trump's numbers. inside the polls it does reveal that people still think trump is more electable with carson, while they are having a love affair with carson, love his civility and demeanor and le his record as a physician, who doesn't love their physician, but i think that the political awards for chutzpah still go to trump and i lost way he answer the the questions in your town hall and he asked about humility and he said i can't show that side of myself so i think supporters will really like what they are eing. >> i bet if you polled this group you would say jeb bush needs a breakout performance. he's been training his fire on marco rubio as of late and rubio was dealt a break. "the sun sentinel" said resign your seat. if you hate the senate, leave. how much might that affect what happens? >> that's one of the questions, too, because what jeb bush has to show in this is something he hasn't shown in these debates it's life, energy, that knock from donald trump that i think has haunted jeb bush the last few months, the low energy

knock, so he's got to show up tonight, and he's got to show some energy, but he also has to deal with the fact that he's be overtaken by marco rubio and overtaken by ted cruz. he has to draw a contrast and the challenge there he's got ammunition to go after marco rubio but when i comes to glibness, the performance aspect of politics, marco rubio so far has been much stronger than jeb bush. if you're jeb bush and start that fight, have you to make sure you can win that fight because marco rubio can parry with you. >> others that need to turn it up, john kasich and carly fiorina who was boosted up after the last debate and dropped back down and we'll be talking about hillary clinton, and we'll talk about her in a second. how often do you expect her name to come up given last week because last week he she had a strong week? >> i think bush will show the voters he can be the nominee. hillary clinton is experience and her asset is confidence.

that's what she will sell to the electorate next fall. he needs to present himself as a guy that can best go toe to toe with her experience in government. >> all right. nicolle wallace, steve kornacki, good to have you both here. thank you. >> more on the front-runner on the democratic side, hillary clinton, nbc's kristen welker is in new hampshire where clinton is campaigning today. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you, that's right. secretary clinton will be far from the debate stage, instead courting voters here in new hampshire, but she's got her own battle plan heading into tonight. with republicans set to go on the attack tonight, secretary hillary clinton is preparing to counterpunch releasing four sleek new ads during tonight's gop debate in iowa and new hampshire, 309-second spots aimed at prebutting the republicans by painting clinton as a champion for working class voters touting equal pay and college affordability. >> i'm hillary clinton, and i approve this message.

comes@as clinton@ is gaining strength. a new poll in iowa shows she's trouncing vermont senator bernie sanders by a whopping 41 points. 65% to 24%. it's the first poll of its kind conducted on the heels of clinton testifying before the benghazi committee, and after vice president biden announced he's not entering the race. part of clinton's strategy, distancing herself from some of the obama administration's more controversial policies, such as bailing out the banks, on display tuesday night when she appeared on"the late show" with escole sigalert if you're president. >> yes. >> and -- and the bakes -- and the banks are failing, do we let them fail this time? >> yes, yeah. >> we let them fail this time? >> yes, yes, yes. >> wow. >> they will fail, and the if they a too big to fail, then under my plan and others that have been proposed they may have to be broken up. >> reporter: all this while trying to connect with voters on

people in on what she's binge watching. >> we finally finished "house of cards." it took a while because we were -- >> reporter: while clinton is firmly in the lead in iowa, the race gets much tighter here in new hampshire where one recent poll shows her running neck in neck with vermont senator bernie sanders. she will try to gain more traction during a politics and egg breakfast a little later today. matt, savannah. >> thank you very much. a reminder you can catch the republican debate, "your money, your vote the" tonight at 8:00 eastern on cnbc. now to a surprising shift out of washington. defense secretary ash carter saying the pentagon will step up its attacks on isis in syria and iraq, including the possibility of, quote, direct action on the ground by use troops. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel has more on this. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this administration has long struggled to explain its strategy against isis, and it's struggling again with the white house insisting nothing has

change the, even as the pentagon is considering an expanding role for u.s. troops in both iraq and syria. when american and kurdish commandos stormed into an isis prison last week freeing hostages, it was the first time the world saw u.s. troops in combat against isis. defense secretary ashton carter told congress there will be more missions like this. >> we won't hold back from supporting capable partners in opportunistic attacks against isil or conducting such missions directly, whether by strikes from the air or direct action on the ground. >> reporter: but direct action on the ground sounds a lot different from what the president has repeatedly promised. >> the american forces tt have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. >>eporter: the white house seems to want it both ways, saying@no regular troops will be in combat, only small numbers of special ops fors will do that.

to some it's washington double speak. >> anybody in combat is boots on the ground. the white house has been trying to pday politics here and try to convince everybody thatpecial operationsorces are not boots on the ground. >> reporter: u.s. has already lost one soldier, master sergeant joshua wheeler,@in close combat with isis. the pentagon says there will be more dangerous raids to come, so the u.s. admitting it or not appears to be getting deeper into the war on isis. and to make it even more complex, an iraqi official, a government spokesman, told nbc that his government does not want american troops on the ground engaging in direct combat unless there is specific approval from the government. savannah, matt, back to you. >> richard engel on that big headline, thank you. yet another laser strike on a passenger plane is under investigation this morning. this late incident overnight near the airport in san diego. nbc's tom costello covers aviation for us. tom, good morning. >> reporter: hi, matt. this is a growing problem acrs

the country. these lasers start out with a small point of light, but as that beam travels it widens out and can light up an entire cockpit and blind the crew this. late incident, as yousaid, happened last night, 9:00 ithe san diego as an american airlines fligh from phoenix was landing at lindbergh field. we can tell you the planeh was four or five miles out when the pilot radioed air traffic controt to report they had been hi by a green laser. >> a laser just south of a two miles inbound, about two miles from the ground, a green las just pointed at american flight 563. >>eporter: san diego airport representative says the pilot was taken to the hospital, but american airlines says that's not true. the crew declined medical treatment. we've seen previous cases that the pilots have aetually suffered temporary blindnes including retinal damage when hit with a laser. both the fbi and the faa take this very seriously. the fbi says there were last

years almost 4,000 cases of lasers hitting planes, targeting a plane wit a laser is a federal crime. the penalty is up to 20 years in prison and a quarter million dollar fine. matt? >> tom costello in washington, thank you very much. in other news, former house speaker dennis hastert is expected to plead guilty today in his hush money case stemming from improprieties committed decades ago. >> an indictment that hastert alleged to pay $3.5 million to an individual to hide a past wrongdoing. the indictment didn't specify, but a.p. has reported the payments were meant to conceal claims of sexual misconduct. a plea agreement would allow the 73-year-old hastert to avoid trial and perhaps keep the details of the case secret. the storms tied to the remnants of hurricane patricia are said to intensify today, the threat expanding to include most of the east coast. dylan is here and is inn for a a and talking about rain and damaging winds. >> yes, that's what we're going to see. t raining here in new york andnd might actually hold off until

password even with a series of trailing numbers. >> we picked up 2,372 passwords in a matter of seconds. >> reporter: that's james line, he have of security at sophos, passwords on the internet like candy. he's fed them into a common wednesdayite used by hackers. >> these are people's passwords right here that are available on the internet. >> a lot of them are passwords that people would assume are secure. >> reporter: not so much. password cracking programs are constantly targeting banks, insurance companies, retailers and any place that stores your personal information. how easy is it, let's just say thankfully james is one of the good guys. >> you can see ts has popped up on the screen. >> reporter: you've already got my password on your screen. >> costello123, very original. >> reporter: while most websites run sophisticated security software to protect customer

passwords it only takes one breech to compromise you and most of us use rather weak passwords like any word found in the dictionary followed by numbers so re's what you really need to know. forget eight-character password security pros sayou need at least 14, even better 28 or 36. how do you remember 36-cracter passwords. >> why not take an easy-to-type sentence. take the lyrics from a song that you can remember, youake we built thisity on rock 'n' roll. >> reporter: 34 characters when you include the spaces. combine that are some numbers, some symbols and we have something tt would be an astronomical amount of computer and trivial for me as a human. >> reporter: use phrases, song lyrics or gibbery you remember and mix english words with another language, add special characters and numbers and use the alt and shift keys while typing and what if you forget your password. how should you answer the

maiden name, street you grew up on, favorite color. >> you get questions, if you forget your password, should you be honest in the. >> lie through your teeth. if you use honest details the cyber criminals will be able to find that on your social media page and numerous other pages. >> reporter: not all security pros agree with jails. some say it's better to be honest about the challenge questions because you never know if you're going to forget your fake answers but everybody does agree that using a password manager is a very good idea. computer. it stores all of your passwords and helps you log in automatically. that way you only have to remember one password, not two dozen or so. guys, back to you. >> hope that one doesn't get hacked. what if they get that password, like the rosetta stone. >> tom, thank you very much. >> let's get at check of the weather fromylan who is in for al. >> it is g gng to be a windy day today, not just in the northeast

>> at 1 she was emancipated from her mother, one of the chapters in her life and new autobiography "wild flower." >> the one of the sentences that stood out to me in your book when you talked about your mom you said zero protection, zero consistency. >> yeah. >> and that's a hauauing sentence. >> yeah, and i hope, you know, at she k kws when sheeads it, because we've talked a aut, yoyo know, the book and she's going to read it, butut i think she will undersrsnd, and, you know, she willl read in the next sentence that i g ge her a compliment, but, yeah, our lifestyle together was not traditional, so putting it mildly. like walking away from my mom and shaking hands and saying we need to emancipate. that was the facts, where our journey led us to and we were actually okay with that that's where we needed to go at that point. the laundry is what took me down. >> i just want to focus for a moment on the literal fact that as a young girl. >> yeah.

>> you hadn't been taught how to do the laundry. >> yeah. >> or you need to clean out your fridge. >> yeah. >> all those foundational elements were missing which i find to make it all the more impressive wha you've made of yourself. >> t(ank you. ikea furniture will also send one into a very dark spiral. >> that little wrench. >> yeah. i feel like i could run a company but that ikea furniture still to this day i'm like how is that going to erect itself? >> do you ever think about how much different things could have been for you had you had these exact same set of experiences in this age where everything is so public and it's so unforgiving? >> well, i did have that, like in the '80s, you know, i was like on the cover of the "national enquirer" and that's the worst feeling ever, but, on the other hand, having a very public experience when i was young taught me a lot about

it definitely gave me a wake-up call of like, okay, if, you know, everyone is going to run your business, maybe you would like your business to be really classy, and that's a hard lesson, but it was a very good lesson for me. >> drew's life has been full of lessons which have helped her as she and her husband raise their two daughters 3-year-old olive and 18-month-old frankie. the book, drew says, is a love letter to her girls. >> i do think i have a responsibility to tell my daughters why i feel the way i feel about things, why i've become this person, how i became the person i amam the truth and nothing but the truth. >> do you ever think about them when they get older lookiki at some of the crazier past, parts of your life in. >> sure, when peoeoe are likik aren't you worried that people will end up like you, a, thanks, b, i hope in some ways they do now, in the later years and in the younger years like they are not going to have my life, you

>> i feel pretty complete now. i feel like certain things are settled. certain things still feel, you know, like they are constantly needing cultivation to the garden. i think things are good. >> we could have sat and talked all day long, cameras or not. she's amazing. >> and she says, you know, you ever think about what happens if your daughters turn out like you, i think they would be really lucky to turn out like her. i think she's an impressive, impressive lady. >> and all the more impressive when you think about what an unorthodox childhood she had. truly a self-made woman and she writes a lot abouter friends and career, including some great stories, reallll cute stories from thehe set of "e.t.t.nd read an excerpt were "wild flower" at ourebsited atoday.com. >> u u next, i is almost time. 5 seconds of summer live on the

this is "she's perfect" from today's house band 5 seconds of summer filling up the plaza, rocking the plaza and will do another song. like that. >> they debuted here on our show i guess july 2014. >> if they don't -- well, they know now because they are in the green room watching. thank you, guys. >> they are like we're nobody's house band but we'll call you that. >> exactly. we'll talk to them in just a couple of minute. meanwhile, all talking about this world series game last night not just because of the baseball but because what happened technically, so last night game one. world series, royals/mets in kansas city. a lot of people waiting and anticipating this one, but there during the broadcast. fox actually lost its picture for a while and had to put up a slate explaining they were in the middle of a technical problem and nine minutes later it happened again. >> so funny. >> we have lost -- we have lost hi.

we're having some technical i don't think it's a weather problem because it wasn't raining at the time of this. we lost power to the truck, we're being told, but as soon as we regain power we will get it back to kansas city. all right. i hear our music. to skit? once again, we're having some technical difficulties in kansas city. once we regain power to our truck we will be going back there. are we heading back there now? >> no. >> that's great. >> that's the studio game pregame and post-game. they have no idea that somebody is going to come to them. power comes up after the slate technical problems. >> they did a great job. >> you've been there when you don't know what's happening and someone is telling in your ear stretch, do this, do that. i would have passed out knowing that twitter was on fire. >> you know. that's the thing when everyone was mocking on twitter.

was thinking was there for the grace of god go i. >> that's right. >> how many times have you been there. >> not during the world series. fox had a rare electronics problem causing the primary and backup generators inside the production compound to lose power, and it sparked memes and tweets all over the place like this one referencing the classic movie airplane. there's johnny pulling the plug out devilishly laughing before plugging it back in. it read breaking the man allegedly spotted behind the fox truck. contact authorities if you see him and not to mention the game which was totally crazy. it opened, the royals scored their first run on an inside-the-park home run which you never see and the mets looked like they would win the game, royals tie it in the bottom of the ninth and eventually win it in the 14th inning. >> over five hours long, the longest world series opener on record, right in. >> five hours and nine minutes. also getting some attention as if you needed one more story

line, the royals starting pitcher edinon volquez was unaware when he took the mound to start game that his father had died just hours before the game, his wife reportedly asking the team mott to tell him until he came out of the game and asks fox not to product it because she thought word would get to him. there are conflicting reports about when exactly he was notified, but his father did pass away right before that game as he went out for the biggest game of his life. >> and he pitched for six innings and then he left apparently. probably told by his wife at that point. >> wild night in kansas city. >> wild, wild. >> crazy. game two tonight so hopefully no technical glitches this time. fingers crossed. love this next story because you know how much i'm an athlete and love sports. what does it mean to play like a girl? okay. president obama has a great answer. he made an unexpected remark yesterday at the white house where the u.s. women's soccer team was being honored for winning world cup in july. take a look at what he had to say. >> they have inspired millions

of girls to dream bigger, and by the way, inspired millions of boys to look at girls differently which is just as important. this team taught all america's children that playing like a girl means you're a bad ass. and perhaps i shouldn't have used that phrase. >> it's a perfect -- we like that phrase, it's perfect. >> we need a t-shirt. >> described the u.s. women's soccer team because they did play like bad asses. >> what a great honor. >> when you have a daughter and can watch a team play like in front of packed stadiums in inspirational. >> good stuff. >> tomorrow is the day. >> speaking of inspirational. >> to get dunked? >> i don't know how much of an inspiration you will but you have inspired us because you stepped up and donated to the

the northwest and it become gusty late tonight and wednesday morning. tomorrow is going to be windy and colder with winds gusting over 30 miles per hour and highs only getting into the low 50s. we could see lows near the freezing mark thursday and friday mornings with highs staying beloaverage as well. we could see a late day shower friday with better chances friday night. we should dry out on halloween with highs getting into the upper 50s. temps in the 60s could return by early next week. >> and that's your latest forecast. guys. >> coming up, a little rain could not keep 5 seconds of summer from rocking our plaza in front of a large crowd. the guys have more music but first they are taking a break to come in and hang out with us. i thought activia was fofobig digestive issues. until i realized our body hananes a lot. 1,100 meals a year... 730 rushed snacks... add 300 stressful decisions... no wonder our digestive system sometimes acts up. so try activia! enjoying activia twice a day for 4 weeks may help reduce
