perhaps the most watched debate in the history of american politics. >> this is a big weekend for the candidates. we'll have more on politics in a moment. but our top story -- charlotte. this new wave of protests there. for the first time a curfew was in effect overnight. did it work? nbc's gabe gutierrez has the very latest for us again this morning. hi, gabe, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. this night was much more peaceful. the mayor imposed a midnight to 6:00 a.m. curfew to try and restore order, and the police did not strictly enforce it as peaceful. they did. so while the violence has eased, now the debate is raging over whether local authorities should release videos of the death of keith scott. [ crowd chants ] >> release the video! >> reporter: for the third straight night demonstrators took to the streets in charlotte but overnight no major violence while national guard troops moved in with only sporadic clashes with police in tactical gear. some protesters briefly closed down i-277. two officers were hurt.

when violence flared, this time, marchers were mostly peaceful, some showing appreciation for the national guard. officers choosing not to strictly enforce a midnight curfew. >> everybody continues like it is and it's peaceful, we can do this all night long. >> reporter: still, there was raw anger over the death of keith lamont scott and city officials' decision not to immediately release the video of the shooting. scott's family was allowed to view the family's lawyers said they were inconclusive. >> we know the story that's been put out by law enforcement. they're saying that they found a firearm. there appears to be an object in his hand, but it is impossible to make out exactly what that object is. >> reporter: this member of the police union disagrees. he says he's seen one of the dash cam videos. >> mr. scott came out of the vehicle as ordered by officers but he had the gun in his hand. being ordered to drop it, he refused. >> reporter: this photo taken by

immediately after he was shot. a police source says it's genuine. >> if there's an encounter, you go down and the weapon's right there, it's kind of obvious that a weapon was involved. >> reporter: some eyewitnesses insist there was no weapon, that scott was carrying a book. >> i think he was confused. i think that he was having commands yelled at him from multiple angles. and at the point he is shot, his arms are down and he's actually stepping back. these videos, you are calling for it to be released? >> yes. the family is calling for it to be released. and i support the family 100%. >> reporter: the police chief has said to not expect that video to be released, citing the ongoing police investigation. he has said that a gun was found at the scene. but he says that the video shows no definitive proof that scott was pointing any sort of weapon at the officers. willie and savannah, back to

for us, thank you. we also have major developments overnight in the police involved shooting in tulsa, oklahoma. prosecutors have now charged officer betty shelby with first degree manslaughter in the shooting death of terence crutcher. she turned herself in early this morning and was released on a $50,000 bond. court documents say shelby reacted unreasonably and became, quote, emotionally involved to the point she overreacted. crutcher was shot 46 days to go until the presidential election. hillary clinton and donald trump will both take a break from the trail today. they are gearing up for monday night's first debate. >> tim kaine, clinton's running mate, will host an event in texas, while her daughter, chelsea, spends a second day in michigan. we'll talk to chuck todd about where things stand in a moment. but first, nbc national correspondent peter alexander sets the table. peter, good morning. >> reporter: willie, savannah, good morning to you. this debate is going to be a blockbuster.

donald trump with a more laid-back approach. in fact, he's going to be adding a rally tomorrow night in virginia, barely 48 hours before that match-up on monday. but overnight he made new headlines, in effect implying that hillary clinton shares responsibility for the unrest, in his words, that's afflicting our country. three days until the first presidential showdown. came out swinging. >> hillary clinton does not have to worry about the sirens and the gunshots at night. she doesn't worry about it. she's sleeping. >> reporter: in fact, clinton aides say she was working, including calling charlotte's mayor to discuss the recent police shooting and protests, and offering assistance. earlier in pittsburgh, trump pointing to the role he says drugs played in this week's violence. >> if you're not aware, drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night. >> reporter: his aides later insisting he wasn't specifically

even as our latest polls show clinton fortifying her lead of six points nationally, her critics are pouncing on a comment this week, suggesting overconfidence while highlighting her pro-union positions. >> having said all this, why aren't i 50 points ahead, you might ask? >> reporter: trump, answering on fox news. >> because she's terrible. i mean she's had a terrible record. everything she touches is bad. i mean, it's just a mess. >> reporter: both camps gear match-up. this weekend, trump will huddle at one of his private golf clubs prepping with top advisers, including chris christie and rudy giuliani. the candidate not doing mock debates, according to aides, sounds confident. meanwhile, clinton's preparing for the different trumps that might show up, a senior adviser says. with her running mate offering his own prediction. >> you're going to hear donald trump doing a lot of trash talking. >> reporter: and president obama offering advice with abc news.

she's in this for the right reasons. >> reporter: overnight we are told that donald trump spoke with the republican governor of north carolina about the situation there. a couple other notes about the debate on monday night. a clinton campaign spokesperson confirms that chelsea clinton will be in attendance on monday night. still unclear if the former president will be there or just within the last couple minutes i was told by the trump campaign that all of donald trump's children will be there, including his youngest son, barron, and his wife, melania, ls monday night. willie and savannah? >> peter alexander outside trump tower here in new york. peter, thanks. let's bring in chuck todd. good morning. as you know, hype is always really big around a debate but in this case it is warranted. isn't it? you have two very unpopular candidates who are going to have a huge audience and an opportunity to really change impressions that people may have about them. >> absolutely. even though there are three

is going to have outside influence. i think including the fact that the clinton campaign in particular i think believes this first debate is so much more important than any others. because if donald trump somehow comes out of this first debate seen as presidential, then all of a sudden there's no way of changing the trajectory of this race. i think the clinton campaign, in particular, views this first debate as a huge opportunity to try to put trump away early. >> chuck, let's talk about debate prep. about a year ago this time as donald trump prepared for his first pry preparation. he said, "i am who i am. i'll do what i do." he actually mocked mitt romney for overpreparing for debates. >> right. >> can he get away with that theory and that philosophy in this big debate on monday? >> we're going to find out. i don't know if he can. i think there is no such thing as too much prep in this case. but in talking with folks close to him, they say you know him. he's not comfortable with scripted sessions. he's not comfortable with a lot

he thinks that that's his appeal and he truly believes that. so they're not going to do that. instead, one of the things to watch today and through the weekend is how both campaigns are almost trying to influence the conversation that takes place during the debate. so for instance, later this morning, i've learned that the trump campaign is releasing a new set of potential supreme court nominees, including republican senator mike lee of utah, all in an attempt to make sure that issue is brought up, because they think that rallies republicans. hillary clinton's campaign today all of the horrible things donald trump's been quoted saying about women. why are they doing that this weekend? trying to influence that topic and get that into the debate. >> and to say nothing of the expectations, game playing that goes on with both campaigns certainly before. chuck, thank you very much. we know you'll have a lot more sunday morning on "meet the press." chuck and i will be at that debate. we're going to cover it live on nbc. of course it is moderated by our own lester holt. monday night right here on nbc,

now to the latest in the investigation into those bombing attacks here in new york and in new jersey. police say this exclusive surveillance video shows the suspect, ahmad rahami, planting his second explosive in new york city. later, two men unload the suitcase and the pressure cooker bomb is dropped on the street. dozens of people passed by. one man even kicks it over. investigators say they found 12 sets of rahami's fingerprints on the device. meantime, rahami's father tells "the new york times" he warned the authorities two years ago about his son's behavior and to, quote, keep an eye on him. now to a former congressman under fire this morning. anthony weiner is facing an investigation for allegedly sharing inappropriate text messages with an underaged girl. according to law enforcement sources, the case is in its early stages and includes a subpoena for wiener's cell phone records. >> in a statement to nbc news,

i have no one to blame for me for putting myself in this position. let's bring in ari melber, msnbc's chief legal correspondent. good morning. >> good morning. >> what exactly would federal investigators be looking for when they subpoena this stuff? >> they will be looking at his phone records and to see whether these allegations are true or whether there are other allegations of contact with minors which could be a very serious offense. >> they could cast a wide net, not look just at these phone records at issue with this particular individual but potentially see the whole record there? >> yes. they can go widely and lat the records, the contact, the data, what sometimes is called meta data, all those extra things that appear on anyone's phone. the law doesn't care much about what consenting adults say to each other. it cares a great deal about what adults may say to minors. >> would an investigation also include trying to contact this individual? >> that's possible. we don't know this morning how the feds are approaching this and how wide a net they will cast.

is the belief that any individual used the internet to contact a minor for the purposes of any kind of sex crime, that can carry ten years to life. >> so it's interesting to see law enforcement agencies falling over themselves to look into this. the d.a. wants to look into it, the u.s. attorney, federal investigators as well. what would constitute a criminal charge in this case? >> in new york, under the law here, basically you have to have something that amounts to more than speech. but rather an individual making contact with a minor and trying but that can be at a distance. under federal law, it's all about whether there was basically an attempt to lure a person, a minor, or get them to go across state lines for the purpose of any type of sex crime. but, again, that doesn't mean that it has to be something physical or serious. it can just be anything that is not allowed with a minor. that's why this type of charge -- we don't know all the facts yet -- but this type of charge to even be investigated is very serious.

ari, thanks so much. now to a dramatic showdown playing out 15 years after 9/11. today, the president is expected to veto a bill that puts it at odds with the families of many who perished that day. nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell at the white house this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. well, few things unite bitterly divided democrats and republicans like respect for 9/11 families. and now as one of their final acts before the election, members of both parties are expected to join together and for the first time override a veto by president obama, siding with some 9/11 families who say that saudi arabia helped bank roll those attacks on their loved ones that that now deserve their day in court. 15 years later, these 9/11 families still say no one has paid the price. >> right now it looks like they're protecting a criminal enterprise. >> reporter: now turning their frustration toward president obama, who today is expected to veto a bill passed unanimously by both the house and senate that would allow victims'

over its alleged support for the 9/11 terrorists. >> we have evidence, we have plausible evidence. >> reporter: terry strada has been trying to get the bill passed for years. her husband, tom, killed just three days after the birth of their son. >> i've been teaching my children that their father, his lesson in life was do the right thing. and this is doing the right thing. >> reporter: all but 4 of the 19 hijackers were citizens of saudi arabia. but in 2004, the 9/11 commission found no evidence that the saudi senior saudi officials individually, funded the attacks. still, some lawmakers are skeptical, including new york senator chuck schumer who co-sponsored the bill. >> if the saudis were not involved, they have nothing to fear from the legislation. but if the saudi government was involved, they should pay the price. >> reporter: saudi arabia has spent more than $5 million lobbying against the bill, which would change a 40-year law that limits american lawsuits against

up against bipartisan pressure, the white house insists the bill could undercut sovereign immunity protections and open up american troops and diplomats to a slew of lawsuits around the world. >> were another country to behave reciprocally toward the united states, that could be a problem for some of our service members. >> reporter: but for families still grieving after 15 years, it's a chance, they say, to get payback for their loved ones who paid the ultimate price. not only are the democrats in congress abandoning the president, so is the wome wants to succeed him. hillary clinton supporting the 9/11 families against the saudis. savannah and willie? >> all right, andrea mitchell at the white house for us. thank you. another major headline out of the white house. the administration looking into a cyber hack that may have led to the release of sensitive information. e-mails stolen from a low-level white house contractor allegedly

schedules and personal data, including a scan of michelle obama's passport. the information was posted on the website of a hacker group called dcleaks which u.s. officials suspect is actually run by russian intelligence. the senior u.s. intelligence official called the hack "the most damaging compromise of the security of the president and the united states that i've seen in decades." meantime, yahoo! is dealing with a massive security breach of its own. 500 million users impacted. now the breach dates back to late 2014, and the stolen data said to include user names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and passwords. yahoo! blames the hack on a at change their passwords. >> 500 million. that's a huge hack. al is now here with a first look at the weather. hi, al. >> yeah, guys. we had some pretty good storms out in the intermountain region. and the first video of this tornado. you have to look at this here. >> holy cow! oh, my gosh! look at that! >> what? look at that! it's sucking stuff up. >> that's right.

department of children and family services tells nbc news the agency has opened a routine investigation following a report of alleged child abuse involving brad pitt. the incident occurred on the family's plane as they flew from europe to los angeles. according to "people" magazine, a source close to pitt says it's all been blown out of proportion. >> in this report which has filed anonymously, brad was accused of getting verbally abusive with one of the we have a source that says the fight was really between brad and angelina, and then one of the kids somehow got involved in this. it was somewhat ms. cal because they were in very close quarters and everybody was nose to nose. but in no way did the physical contact constitute any kind of physical abuse. >> according to people sources close to pitt, they say he was

the altercation. >> they are deeply embarrassed this fight between the parents in front of the kids. but brad is cooperating fully with the department's investigation and they are saying that in no way is this man guilty of any kind of child abuse. >> officials say it's customary to deny any parent under investigation access to their children until they determine it's safe to do so. law enforcement sources tell nbc news the lapd and fbi are not investigating the alleged abuse >> all of our sources close to brad pitt are universally saying that he's devastated by this, that he's really, really worried about seeing his kids. >> reporter: the alleged abuse occurred on september 14th. the very next day, jolie separated from pitt, according to her divorce filing. she is seeking sole physical custody of their kids, maddox, 15, pax, 12, zahara, 11, shiloh,

out about this story the hard way. janet, tell us more. good morning. >> savannah, willie, good morning to you. there is a lot of travel in this job. one day i was flush with hotel points, the next they were gone. hackers are breaking into thousands of reward accounts just like mine and using those miles like cold, hard cash. airline and hotel loyalty programs. millions of people belong to them. >> something of >> miles and points racked up for every dollar spent. you can use them for free flights and nights, even trade for gift certificates, high-end headphones and flat-screen tvs. >> miles and points are like an unregulated global currency, bigger than some small countries' gdp. >> reporter: it is big money and hackers are going after it.

a million miles. >> i've been saving for years for a vacation, and suddenly $4,500 of spendable money on a vacation was gone. i mean it was like being punched in the stomach. >> reporter: more victims on twitter. a user named matt writing someone literally changed all of my info and stole all of my points. and kelly says a hacker wiped her account clean, stealing 600,000 miles. >> miles equals money. you just have to look at it that way. right? really, they have a monetary value and so they can be used as money in different kinds of ways. accounts through weak passwords or by sending phishing e-mails. experts say it is much easier than hacking credit cards with those new security chips. >> the cyber criminals have to move on. they have to move on to better targets with other kinds of data that they can use. >> reporter: hotels and airlines are tightening access to customer accounts. united now requires answers to security questions when logging in from an unknown device. airline accounts are a treasure trove of personal information, including passport numbers and

child's passport. delta got wendy's miles back into her account. they won't, she vows, stay there much longer. >> i'm just glad to have my mileage back and plan on doing a nice vacation some time in the next year or so and using those frequent flyer miles. >> so as the "wall street journal" first reported, the points and the miles are usually replaced. i did get mine back, too. but i was not aware of the theft until the hotel chain actually reached out to me. someone changed my address to a post office box and then used the points to go shopping for electronics and shipped them to that box. so, guys, if you've got these accounts, you've got to have a strong password and you've got to check in to them occasionally. willie and savannah? >> i personally know that janet has about 5 trillion miles on her account. if anyone deserves to go shopping on those points, it's you, miss janet. >> all right. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys.

natural experience for people, especially when you have someone that you love or who is a friend who has any type of disability. >> reporter: everything was so much harder. i just stabbed the bread, not the tomatoes. what you didn't just see is that i just took a bite of nothing. >> welcome to my world. okay. all right. yep. how did that one taste? >> that was delicious. nothing like a little italian air. the good thing about doing this help for you. >> right. i think it is a process for people who are visually impaired of getting used to going out and eating. and i'm at a point now where i have no shame in asking people to cut my food for me. >> you're, i feel, mostly over it at this point. is that fair to say? >> i'm not over it. i'm open about it. and if you're able to become more comfortable with your circumstances, other people will become more comfortable with your circumstances.

this morning on "today's take," gina davis. and it is freaky friday which means you can win at home. plus al whips up a tasty dinner for all ek >> announcer: from nbc ne, this is "today's take" with al roker, tamron hall, and billy bush. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today" on this friday morning. september 23rd. billy bush, al and tamron. and we -- it is freebie friday. rihanna is performing in central park. kendrick lamar.

metallica. usher. >> you got some tickets coming up in just a little bit. but another day, another round of bombshell reports coming out of the brangelina divorce. we know the lapd is not investigating. the fbi is gathering facts and they have the option because of the airspace. anything that happens on a plane falls under their jurisdiction. but a source close to brad i spoke to this morning who is working with brad made it clear to everybody involved on his side, he doesn't want anything disparaging said about angelina. doesn't want to talk about this in any way. i thought yesterday -- i kind of wanted to hear from brad more. >> backtrack. you said the lapd is not investigating but the fbi is. what are they saying happened? >> they are gathering facts to see if they will? >> what's being reported right now that we can -- "people" magazine is zigging in to this. >> something happened on the plane.

physical occurred. but there was a heated -- in a closed space like that, pa heated exchange between mom and dad. child services -- an anonymous call came in. child services is required to investigate any kind of called, whether anonymous or not. so they are at this point. >> "people" magazine, the facts from at least their editorial director, jess cagle, told nbc news we have a source that says the fight was brad and angelina. then one of the kids somehow got involved in this. it was somewhat, as billy mentioned, physical because they were in a very close situation. everybody was nose to nose but in no way was there physical contact. that's what "people" magazine is saying. but your sources have been pretty solid as well. >> but brad's not allowed contact in any situation with child and protective services,

of the kids. so he's in isolation there. >> the other sad part, something like this, there are no -- we have no hard facts. we have -- this is this, somebody said this, somebody said this. so until there's some sort of factual statements -- >> it's an interesting position to be in because we -- right? we try to gather information. at the same time personally, deep inside, i hope there's none to gather. >> absolutely. >> but i separate camps and work it out. unfortunately, with brad and angelina, the modern day liz and dick, it is going to be a feeding frenzy and people don't have information, you know there is a lot of sources out there that will just come up with stuff. >> people have agendas. >> look. for those of us who are parents, we have all probably had a bad day. i'm not defending anybody. a bad day that if you take it as a single moment in time, you're

not proud of myself as a parent. and that if somebody took that and used that, they could make a case that i was not a good parent. without the perspective and context and everything else going on. that's why i hate these things. >>y were on -- i told billy this morning, they are on a small plane so you figure maybe two pilots, somebody like a flight attendant and them. clearly someone on the plane is authorities. authorities are not supposed to go on to "people" magazine and give information. so whether it is publicists or people they are clearly talking. >> local authorities were on the ground to brief them in minnesota when they touched down. angelina has not commented publicly since her attorney told the associated press she was ending the marriage "for the health of the family." her manager told e! news angelina will always do what's in the best interests to protect her children.

weekend, what do you think the two candidates who are preparing to be commander in chief are doing? the biggest day of tir les monday? >> as separate as they are personally. >> donald trump planning a rally in virginia ahead of the big debate on nbc monday. hillary clinton said to be studying. the last debate between president obama and mitt romney drew around 62 million people. this will be aired on all networks but hos lester holt. what's your guess? how many people going to watch this? >> 100 million people. >> for blood sport or because we want to make an educated decision. >> i think both. i think -- what's interesting, there is a nexus i think right here of just pure interest. and people are still -- still want to make a decision. i think -- >> as different as these two candidates are.

a stark contrast between candidates. >> that's putting it mildly. >> hillary said -- she said it at a fund-raiser out in the hamptons not too long ago, i never know which donald is going to show up. i think that's going to drive a lot of the ratings, too. which donald is going to show up. he was on with o'reilly on monday. he was asked if he was going to get into some of the sexual indiscretions you brought up before about the past, he goes i don't know. we'll see. i'll see how she tres almost like a veiled threat. if i'm there, i'm going she's got seven people probably playing role of donald trump. >> they said she is preparing for whatever version of donald trump shows up. >> many of them could. >> all of them could. the debate is 9 0 minutes long. before with the republican debates, there were 16 other people on stage. it is just two people for 90 minutes. apparently the campaigns are trying to get into each other's

dallas mavericks and the certified menace -- he is the "newman" to donald trump. mark cuban tweeted out he'll be on the front row to support hillary clinton. so mark cuban is on the front row. chelsea clinton's going to be there. the wild card, we don't floknow former president bill clinton will be here. >> here's the thing i do know. lester holt is moderating. ifre withstand pressure around be down the middle and cool and calm and take this thing on, it is lester holt. >> absolutely. >> and donald has already tried to disparage lester calling him a democrat. >> which he's not. >> he's not. >> it shouldn't even be brought up. the political registration of a moderator shouldn't. i think if all else fails, lester could break out his base. play them off. everybody off the stage. get off right now.

monday night. the world will be watching as hillary clinton and donald trump face off. right now she's ahead in the national polls, but it is a tight race. there's so much movement. we'll see what happens on monday. >> you know what's going to happen for sure. at the end of it, donald is going to say -- >> he's going to say he won. >> seven seconds after the debate, "according to the online polls, people say i won in a landslide." coming spiciest chip. >> who's trying that? >> the world's -- not one of the spice yes, sir. the world's. >> just one. that's all it takes. >> do we dare open this up and try it? >> it says fear the reaper. >> oscar winner geena davis is here taking on the exorcist. the trailer to this is just terrifying.
