make inroads and he got clobbered with them. >> there has to be a reason there and i know we talked a lot about donald trump's personality and his temperament when that group was asked about those two key features, what did they say. >> yeah, that question of temperament, it has haunted donald trump. so break this down. republican women said in the debate they were fine with donald trump's temperament but independent women, 80% of them, four out of every five donald trump doesn't have after watching that debate the temperament to be president. independents, these could be fatal numbers sometimes politically. >> and obviously we know where he has work cut out for him. hillary clinton's got her work cut out too with young voters. >> back in new hampshire yesterday. why does she bring bernie sanders to appeal to millennial voters? remember this. in the primaries voters under 30 were bernie sanders's strongest

unforeseen legal retaliation overseas. >> sometimes you have to do what's hard and frankly, i wish congress here had done what's hard. >> reporter: his argument echoed by america's top spy. >> foreign governments are going to start to pass similar type of legislation that is going to haul the united states into courts overseas for the most frivolous of charges and allegations. >> reporter: the new york senator, a cosponsor of the bill sayit governments to be sued, not individuals. >> the chief argument is not strong. in fact, it's flimsy. >> reporter: the administration is also facing opposition from hillary clinton and donald trump. the two rivals finding common ground in support of a legislation. still, the veto override pinning the families of 9/11 victims against the white house. and slamming members of the

senate has done since 1983. those comments criticized by terry. >> this was congress at its best. this is democracy at its best. >> reporter: in hi comments josh ernest was referring to a 1983 veto override of a bill that ronald reagan opposed during his first term 33 years ago. yesterday's veto override is a stinging defeat for mr. obama especially because it came at the hands of his fellow clinton. >> all right. andrea mitchell at the white house. thank you. the 'em battled ceo of wells fargo is facing another grilling on capitol hill about those millions of accounts opened without customer knowledge or consent. >> reporter: good morning. that is exactly right. wells fargo's ceo is speaking for the first time today here on

the book translates with el to the big screen. why do you think this one does? >> well, i think it does only because it was very faithfully adapted. the direction is fantastic and we were really mobbed up with a lot of very, very good actors. so you know, we can only hope we do service to the book and sort of honor what the author had in mind. >> without, i know there is a lot we want to be careful about in give the basics of the story line in your opinion. >> essentially, the story about a woman named rachel who rides the train. she's in a slightly depressive state, drinking too much and she projects on to other people that she looks out the train window, what we all kind of do in life. she builds this sort of fantasy life around this couple and then a woman goes missing and all

it lubricated in a way. >> i remember my dad drove through a particularly nice neighborhood one day, my dad said something to the effect, don't assume you know what's going on behind those beautifully painted doors. >> yeah. >> this is kind of that personified. >> it's that and i would go further on that, life as we take the train, the corridor a bunch. you are not only looking into people's windows sometimes, are you looking in the backs of their houses. >> that's right. >> it almost tells you more than the front. some people's literal dirty laundry is hanging out back. it's kind of grave, a beautiful sort of see other people's lives. >> you said you rely on your gut when are you choosing a role. does it usually serve you well? >> it has. i could say that when i choose

that don't, that someone has told me are smart to do or things that are good to do, i usually don't enjoy myself as much as when i find something that i just love doing. >> one of the things you seem to love doing the a show called "the leftovers." and the creator of that show said something about you i was reading. he says, he's a ken doll, but he's every ken, astronaut ken, interior designer ken, i'd be lying if i didn't say there's a part of me that wants to strangle him. as an actor, he can be much bigger than he is in terms of notoriety. the reason he's not is by design. it's his choice. is that true? >> i don't know if it's true. i, i think, you know, i've made decision again based on what is going to make me happy. so i never had any particularly, particular interest in doing things that will advance me to another level or do something,

if it's right in acting. >> you do it so well. justin, always good to see you.

this is an nbc news special report. here's matt lauer. >> and good morning, everyone. i am matt lauer with this nbc news special report. i want to show you a chaotic scene that's unfolding right now in hoboken, new jersey, just about two miles from where we are. a packed commuter train has crashed, as you can see, into a rail station there. you're looking at live pictures from the scene. no specific word on injuries. however, we have heard there are multiple injuries at the scene. part of the building, as you can see, has collapsed. there's severe damage. federal investigators are being sent to the scene. i've got rahama ellis joining us

>> what i can tell you is there are emergency vehicles all throughout this area. many of the streets have been blocked. so i've literally been running through the streets, trying to get up to the scene. as you pointed out, what happened this morning shortly around the 9:00 hour, just beyond the height of the rush hour, a train coming into the station. witnesses say the train simply did not stop. it kept going and ran into the platform, into the reception areawh be standing, waiting to get on this train. as you point out, it caused mass chaos. there are reports of mass casualties, but we don't know the extent of the injuries at this moment. this has been called a massive casualty incident. there are emergency crews all throughout the area. roads have been blocked. i am right now trying to get exactly on to the site so i can give you more information.

height of the rush hour, a train coming into the train station simply did not stop. it kept going. we don't know at this point what the speeds of train was. all of those details will come out as this incident is unfolding. emergency crews are on scene trying to get passengers who i have maybe injured, get them help, and to assess exactly what happened here and the extent of the injuries and the damage. >> and i just want to say, i'm being told this is an area where many tracks come to an end. so it is truly a terminal. when you say that train didn't come to a stop, it would have had nowhere else to go but off the end of the track and right into that terminal building. >> matt, that seems to be exactly, precisely the case here. i'm not exactly on the scene, so i'm making my way to it, but what i can see is chaotic. people have been forced to not go into the area, including me.

run as fast as i can into the area. but you're right. it's an area where the trains, they converge here coming into the train station. it's a new jersey transit commuter train. it's above ground. the train just didn't stop and plowed right into that passenger terminal. >> and obviously traveling at a pretty high rate of speed based on the damage we're seeing. i want to bring in tom costello. he covers transportation for us. tom, i guess the first thing ntsb, they send teams there quickly. >> yeah, that's correct. obviously the immediate concern is evacuating all of the injured, treating the injured, and then trying to determine what happened. this will become a federal railroad investigation, as you suggested, and the ntsb, in coordination with the federal railroad administration. one big concern here, matt, is going to be did the train and did the system have positive

federal authority is there is no positive train control on this particular track. you may recall from the philadelphia train crash you and i covered 18 months ago, that particular incident occurred when there was no positive train control on a stretch of track, and the train derailed going at an excessive speed around a curve. positive train control is essentially an automatic braking system. it brakes the train if the engineer fails to do so as the train approaches some sort of an immediate stop zone or slow down zone. in philadelphia, we had 200-plus injured and eight dead. we are hoping that we don't have anywhere near that kind of scenario here, but the immediate concern that federal railroad authorities have had for years is the slow rollout of this positive train control automatic braking system, why have various jurisdictions and authorities been slow to put it into effect

authorities, there's no positive train control on this stretch of track. >> and we don't know how many injuries have resulted from this crash, but keep in mind there would be people on that train and there would have been people standing near that platform. this could be mechanical error, it could be human error, it could be something else. too early to rule out anything, including a potential deliberate act. again, the investigation will come after the rescue operations take place to find out who may be trapped on that platform and woman: huh. congressman blum is a tea party member. we've shut down the government before. woman: blum voted to cut social security.

>> did you know that 84% of americans currently have financial concerns and nearly half struggle to meet household expenses every single month. that's according to a recent study by clear voice research. so we reached out to you, our viewers, to find out your biggest money concerns. here to help us out, money in a money process, i love that, financial clint tore to o, the magazine. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is relatable for just about everybody here. you will help us out. we have a timer. we present the question. then will you run with it. >> i am. >> you got it? >> i have a minute. >> the first question, should we pay down debt, student loents, car loans, first or put the extra money towards retirement? that is the question, start the

you save for retirement, think of paying down debt at the same it can be done. first tamron with your debt, look at all of your debt. put the minimum on everything so you are not falling behind the debt with the highest interest rate put a little more so you get out of that quicker. if you need more help the national foundation for credit counseling is a great resource. as for retirement, make sure you are saving as little as possible, just $10 a day can amass hundreds of thousands invested over 25, we can invest on the mobile app, acorn, hook it up to a bank account or credit card, every account you spend round it up to the next dollar. put it in a diversified retirement portfolio for you on the go, automatically. >> i love that. have you 12 seconds. >> all right w. acorn, it's a diversified portfolio, 7,000 different assets. it caters to your age and risk tolerance. very popular.

next question is about emergency savings. we are living beyond our means, we need an emergency savings and are thinking about transferring our credit card balance to another credit card to gain breathing room. we're feeling overwhelmed about the best strategy to save for our future. hit the clock. >> first, i want to say, emergency savings is critical. it's ideal to get to a six-to-nine month kuchlgs i like zero percent balance transfer cars. keep in mind, interest rates expire after 12, 15 months. so it's critical you get on a debt payoff plan within that time frame. after that, you see the interest rates skyrocket. are back to where you are, maybe wars off or able to save. keep that in mind. with zero transfer cards, there may be a fee of two to three percent sometimes nothing, it pays to shop around. go to bankrate.com.

accounts, you could lose history, credit littles, that could negatively impact your credit score. >> have you 13 seconds on the clock. >> really, another thing ability mortgages saving, like investing, start small. get in the habit of saving. it's a behavior. >> all right. that question by the way is from felicia in new york. moving on now, suzanne, massachusetts, i'm looking to buy a house but feel i should boost my credit score first. what itself the best way to do this? start the clock. >> so we know aot are struggling with housing payments. this is a smart question. she wants to boost her credit score to qualify for a mortgage with a low interest rate that will reduce her housing payment. right now, those paying the best interest rates on mortgages have a credit score of 760 or higher. so here's a really cool trick. i've done this. it can boost your score relatively quickly. call your credit card issueer. have you the best history, ask them to raise your credit limit.

if you have a good relationship. you have been paying your bills an time. they may be able do this over the phone, see your credit score jump. good advice for everybody, pay all your bills on time. it's the biggest variable. boom. >> that's how you the it in under a minute. coming up, kids awards are great. but i'm more than just a trophy. i'm moving forward...

this is an nbc news special report. here's matt lauer and savannah guthrie. >> it's 10:30 here on the east coast, 7:30 out west. this is an nbc news special report. th new jersey. a new jersey transit train crashing into the terminal there. at least three people confirmed dead, more than 100 others injured. we're told that a number of them are critically injured. >> this of course happened at the height of rush hour earlier this morning. we're already seeing images of terrible destruction. witnesses are speaking out this morning and sharing stories of chaos and panic. >> everything was typical.

everyone to get into the first car, so fortunately i was stuck in the middle. myself and about six other people were in between the cars. we approached the station, and the train just felt like it never stopped. it didn't slow down. it didn't -- it didn't brake. i mean, i don't know for sure if it didn't brake or what was happening. so as soon as the train just kept going, there was -- the lights shut off. people started yelling. and the people that were standing in between on the other side, on the second -- in the second car, getting ready to come out of that door, were thrown on to our side. a young lady actually that was thrown from that, her legs caught between the doors just as soon as it was about to make that full stop. but we were able to pull her up fortunately, and the gentleman

people, but he had a gash in his forehead. he hadn't known he was bleeding. i didn't fall, fortunately, because there were people in front of me. >> you can hear the fear in her voice. one of the survivors. at least three dead, 100 injured in this train crash this morning. >> and that view from above gives you a really good idea of what this situation is. this isn't a through station. this is a terminal. these tracks come to an end at that specific point in hoboken. if a train comes in and does not stit track, in this case right into the terminal building. >> while we're already hearing these differing accounts of how much, if any, the train had slowed, let's go to our correspondent rehema ellis, our correspondent. what are you hearing? >> good morning. we're standing in what police are calling a staging area. i can see the waiting room of the terminal where that train crashed into. there are emergency vehicles

trying to secure this area in terms of getting the injured away from the area. as you've pointed out, witnesses, some of them, passengers on this train were able to walk away, others were not. i spoke to one woman in the third car of the train. she said it happened really fast. she said everybody in the third car was jolted. some people were standing because they were about to get off the train. and she said it was crazy. people weree and crying. and she said she was able to brace herself because she was still sitting, so she put her hands on the backseat of the seat in front of her, and she was jolted in place. she was able to walk away from this. her concern, she said, is that so many other people may not have been able to walk away. the first thing she did when she got out of the car, she said she called her loved ones to let them know she was okay.

able to walk away from this, savannah. as she pointed out, so many others were not. we are still waiting for a press briefing here. we're told a short time from now, officials will give us more information on the extent of this accident. we don't know how fast the train was going, but we do know that it was approaching this terminal because this is the last stop, as matt was saying. this is where people are to get off. some of them were standing, and that made it even worse. this young woman saie front car -- remember, she was in the third car. she felt that people in the front car may have taken the biggest of the burden in terms of the injuries. savannah? >> and there may have been people on the platform as well right there. rehema, thank you very much. >> tom costello going to look at the investigation side. obviously first they take care of the injured, then figure out what happened.

would be to talk to that person. >> that's absolutely right. what was he or she doing? were they paying attention? what did they see? was the equipment operating normally? i got to tell you, i've ridden this train many times. i used to live in new jersey and took that train into manhattan. to come in that fast into hoboken station i find to be rather strange because normally you crawl into hoboken station. it's a very slow snail's pace. so why was this train traveling so fast that it literally rammed right into the station and caused such terrible structural damage and of course so many people injured and potentially killed. we do also know that this line on new jersey transit does not have that automatic braking system called positive train control. that's been a big issue, as you know, for the last dozen years or so following major train crashes, really, from california to new york. but on the new jersey transit line n that stretch anyway, no

so clearly this will probably ramp up the discussion about whether that should have been in place. but you have to wonder, why would the engineer be realizing as he or she was coming into that station and having presumably done this many times before, that you've got to slow down. there are many warning signs and speed signs. >> and by the way, nobody on the platform that we've heard from -- we heard from a witness a second ago -- said there was any horn blaring or warning from that train. the engineer, if that is possible. also, these trains have what is referred to as a black box, don't they, tom? >> they absolutely do. on many of these trains -- now, i cannot speak to specifically what equipment was on this particular train. but many trains do have the equivalent of a black box that allow them to immediately know the speed, whether there were any brakes applied, what the speed was coming out or going into a turn, all of that is going to be critically important.

you very much. the ntsb has officially launched a go team to get to that scene. >> so once again, a chaotic scene in hoboken, new jersey, across the river from new york city. three dead, perhaps as many as a hundred injured. we'll return you to "today." made fish oil. because i trust their quality. they were the first to have a product verified by usp. an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards. nature made. the number one pharmacist recommended vitamin don't let dust and allergens get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase gives you more complete allergy relief. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls 6. and six is greater than one. flonase changes everything. ? well? i love it. this piece is so you. i know, right? i saw it and i was just like "oh, i have to have it..." is it suede? it's suede. i love suede. state farm knows that every one those moments, there's one of these... well?

tries to get passengers whoay m have been injured, get them help and to assess exactly what happened and the extent of the injuries and the damage. >> and rehema, i want to say, i am being told this is end. so it is truly a terminal and when you say that train didn't come to a stop, it would have had nowhere else to go but off the end of the track and right into that terminal build something. >> that seems to be exactly the ways here, i'm not on the scene, what i can see is chaotic. people have been forced to not go into the area, including me,
