>> nope. >> that's it. >> i love you, bad lip reading. i love you. i love you. thank you, that does it for us. what to do about donald. less than a month until election day, the republican party facing a deepening split. a greg number of gop leaders are pulling their support for the republican nominee. on the democratic side, hillary clinton is seeing some of her biggest crowds to date as she and her running mate tim kaine capitalize on trump's comments. hurricane matthew may be gone, but there is rising concern over water level in the carolinas. thousands have been forced from their homes and in some areas the flooding is expected to worsen this week.

hello and good morning to you. it's tuesday, october 11th. i'm betty nguyen alongside alex witt and louis burgdorf. >> on capitol hill congressional republicans wrestled with what to do about donald trump, this time less than a month until election day. speaker paul ryan said he will not defend his party's nominee saying his focus will be on preserving the republican majority in the house. this led the associated press to begin its report, house speaker paul ryan is all but conceding hillary clinton will be the next president. meanwhile, republican members like dana rohrabacher of california blasted ryan and those abandoning trump as cowardly and gutless. minutes later, ryan got back on the conference call to assert that he was not unendorsing trump, as some other leaders have. in response, the clinton campaign posted on twitter, "ryan is still endorsing trump." later, donald trump himself tweeted, paul ryan should spend

more time on balancing the budget, jobs, and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting republican nominee. >> a different approach on the other side of capitol hill where majority leader mitch mcconnell is keeping a low profile and taking a hands-off approach to how his candidates react to donald trump. as republicans like john mccain look for distance, others who are also up for re-election are standing by the nominee and even adopting his strategy. >> it's not pleasant for me to renounce the nominee of my party. he won the nomination fair and square. but this is -- i have daughters. i have friends. i have so many wonderful people on my staff. they cannot be degraded and demeaned in that fashion. >> who are you going to vote for? >> i think i might write in lindsey graham. he's an old good friend of mine and a lot of people like him. the fact is i can't -- seriously, i cannot vote for either one. >> are you going to continue to support donald trump? >> i am, i believe that -- my

dad was a presbyterian minister and he taught me when somebody apologizes, that the right thing to do is to forgive them. >> a lot of people are asking me that question. people should be asking senator feingold does he fully support hillary clinton? i'm not going to defend donald trump's despicable wor. they're indefensible but i don't know how senator feingold can support hillary clinton's actions. you want to go back to travelgate, whitewater, the corruption in terms of profits she made off of cattlegate? let's face it, hillary clinton threatened, threatened the women that bill clinton abused. >> how do you feel -- >> has she ever apologized for that? >> former president bill clinton has long denied the allegation of sexual assault that senator ron johnson is referring to. new overnight in a sign of confidence the super pac backing hillary clintoning is planning to expand its focus and add dollars to senate races. the spending is still to be

determined but the targets are north carolina, nevada, new hampshire, and pennsylvania. the battlegrounds that could shift control to the democrats. >> donald trump's campaign has fired its virginia state chairman following a protest outside their rnc headquarters in washington, d.c. yesterday. the trump campaign has confirmed to nbc news that corey stewart was let go after organizing the anti-rnc rally. at the protest stewart told nbc news he didn't organize it, he only spread the word about the rally over social media. the trump campaign released a statement saying stewart is being released effective immediately and he staged the "stunt" without the knowledge or approval the campaign. governor mike pence back on the campaign trail a happy warrior. saturday he issued a blunt statement condemning his running mate's remarks saying he was offended and could not defend them. sunday his running mate split with him during the town hall over differences on their interpretation of how to confront russia over their role

in syria. all of that was gone during stops in manorth carolina on th campaign trail. while pence did not call trump "this good man" as he has for weeks he was generous with his praise of how trump handled the tapes. >> it's been an interesting few days. i don't condone what was said and i spoke out against it. but the other part of my faith is i believe in grace. i've received it. i believe in it. i believe in forgiveness. and we're called to forgive as we have been forgiven. last night my running mate, he showed the american people what's in his heart. he showed humility to the american people. and then he fought back and turned the focus to the choice that we face, and i'm proud to stand with donald trump. >> we have a wonderful, wonderful vice presidential nominee. mike pence. great guy.

a great guy. this guy, he called me up. do you mindfy put out a statement? no, what would you like to put out? absolutely put it out. this guy is so loyal, so good, such a terrific person. >> following sunday night's debate hillary clinton her campaign to michigan and ohio yesterday. her campaign says more than 13,000 people attended the rally last night at ohio state university with thousands more waiting outside. it was clinton's largest campaign event to date. while on the trail she kept up her criticism of donald trump after he characterized the comments he made in a leaked 2005 tape as locker room banter. >> you know what's happened today which is so interesting is that a lot of athletes and coaches from the nba, from major league baseball, from the nfl, and more, have been coming forward tweeting.

they've been saying, no, that's not what happens in our locker rooms. i just happen to think that our athletes and our coaches know a lot more about what happens in locker rooms than donald trump does. donald trump spent his time attacking when he should have been apologizing. when he was pressed about how he behaves, he just doubled down on his excuse. that it's just locker room banter. women and men across america know that is just a really weak excuse for behaving badly and mistreating people. >> clinton's running mate tim kaine also attacked trump for his so-called locker room talk at a rally in denver yesterday. >> he cannot look at a woman and see an equal. and that is a huge problem with

him that has been plain from the very first day he got into this campaign. and then some people are now so surprised, they're shocked that he would have this attitude. it's insulting to women, it's insulting to men to say that, oh, that's just an attitude, that's just the way men are. no. men are not that way. real men aren't that way. donald trump's wrong about that. hillary clinton, hey, she's faced that locker room attitude from an awful lot of people her whole life. she's been told, you can't, or it's not your time, or somebody's ahead of you, or you're not likeable enough, or why don't you smile more. she's had that headwind proceeding in her face her entire life. >> donald trump was in pennsylvania a state that has once again begun to slip away in the latest polling. while there he made it clear he had no intention of backing off the pressure he's been applying on hillary clinton and bill clinton. >> i was getting beaten up for

72 hours on all the networks for inappropriate words 12 years ago. locker room talk. whatever you want to call it. but i said to myself, wait a minute. and i just saw a very inappropriate word. but bill clinton sexually assaulted innocent women. and hillary clinton attacked those women viciously. if they want to release more tapes saying inappropriate things, we'll continue to talk about bill and hillary clinton doing inappropriate things. as i outlined last night, bill clinton was the worst abuser of women ever to sit in the oval office. he was a predator. hillary clinton systematically tacked and discredited the victims of bill clinton's sexual harassment and assault. these things aren't written by the media, but they're true. for decades hillary clinton has been deeply familiar with her husband's predatory behavior and

instead of trying to stop it she made it possible for him to take advantage of even more women. she put even more women in harm's way. and then she goes out and says, i love women, i'm going to help women. she's a total hypocrite. the hypocrisy of the media and our politicians is hard to believe. . >> residents across the southeastern united states are still feeling the effects of hurricane matthew despite the storm still being well out to sea as the death toll and floodwaters both continue to climb. at least 30 people have now been confirmed killed by the storm's destruction across five states. officials warn that could be -- there could be days before they have a final figure there. meanwhile president obama yesterday signed a disaster declaration for north carolina, officially declaring it a federal state of emergency along with florida, georgia, and south carolina. north carolina's governor pat mccrory announced yesterday that rescue crews were racing to help

less dents in lumberton after a levee breach forced some onto their rooftops, a scene playing out across the state. the governor toured damage in fayetteville where he warned citizens the threat is far from over. >> this is going to be a prolonged hurricane for us. even though the skies are blue. i encourage people if there's a chance, if the water's coming, leave early. don't wait. take what you can with you. but get out of there and save your life. >> in south carolina, rivers are the concern with many expected to jump their banks this week, prompting new evacuation preparations. a scary situation there, guys. >> yeah, for sure. still ahead, donald trump take at page from the pittsburgh steelers fans by waving a terrible towel and getting a shout-out to big ben. more on the impact being felt along the coast because of hurricane matthew. bill karins joins us for that coming right up.

the minute that tape came out, hurricane matthew matthew just disappeared from television. the only channel that continued their round the clock coverage of the hurricane was fox news because they didn't want to talk about the trump tape. even the weather channel was like, to hell with this, let's go with the trump tape. the only person mentioning a disaster on a national level was donald trump. >> obamacare is a total disaster. the education is a disaster. what that's going to do is a disaster. perhaps the greatest disaster -- >> iraq was a disaster aleppo is a disaster. which would be a disaster. it is a disaster. take a look at upstate new york. >> your two minutes is up, secretary clinton -- >> it turned out to be a disaster. >> we have to thank jimmy kimmel. we're getting a look at devastation and disaster left behind by hurricane matthew as floodwaters threaten residents across the southeastern united

states. this footage captured by a drone in north carolina, the eastern part of the state. parts of that state are completely submerged under water. talk about a mess for a time. >> that was the noose river. i lived on that river. when floyd went through, nebraska thought it would ever be worse than that. all these flood gauges, that's all this region in here. it's slow-moving water. that's why it's so painful. it won't be until the weekend or early next week that some of these people can get back into these homes and those floodwaters. that's a huge story in eastern north carolina even though the sun is out their pain continues. as far as other weather concerns, not a lot. it's a very cold morning into the growing season in spots. freeze warnings in new york state. in some areas of new england too. frost advisory other areas. 47 in new york. the big cities are fine but it's cold. sarah neck lake in new york down to 25. a lot of other areas in the 30s. as far as the tropics go, we

over the next six innings. arrieta apparently the only cub able to get ahold of a pitch from the giants' ace madison bumgarner who along with some help from the pulp kept the chicago bats quiet until the top of the ninth, trailing 5-3. the cubs' chris bryant sends a two-run shot out to left field tying the game 5-5. bottom 13th, san francisco's joe panik steps up to the plate, a runner on second. >> the giants win that game -- a drive to right. and the giants will win tonight! >> panik's rbi double off the wall in right center walks the giants off with a 6-5 win, the cubs will get another chance in game four tonight. can't wait to watch that. los angeles, another n.l. tuition series, nationals/dodgers. washington led the way for most of this one after a four-run third inning. they tack on another four in the

hey, there, good morning. it is tuesday, october 11th. i'm alex witt alongside betty nguyen and lewisbuouis burgdorf on capitol hill congressional republicans wrestled with what to do about donald trump less that a month until election day. speaker paul ryan said he will not defend his party's nominee saying his focus will be on preserving the republican majority in the house. this led the associated press to begin its report, house speaker paul ryan is all but conceding hillary clinton will be the next president. meanwhile, republican members like dana rohrabacher of california blasted ryan and those abandoning trump as cowardly and gutless. minutes later, ryan got back on the conference call to assert that he was not unendorsing trump as some other leaders have. in response the clinton campaign posted on twitter, ryan is still

endorsing trump. later, donald trump tweeted, paul ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs, and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting republican nominee. >> while paul ryan and other republican leaders are backing away from trump, he still has the support of the republican national committee. politico obtained this audio from rnc chairman reince priebus during an emergency conference call with rnc members yesterday. >> i want to make it very clear that the rnc is in full coordination with the trump campaign and we have a great relationship with them. nothing has changed in our support for our nominee. if there's any one thing that is our job to do, it is to support the nominee that was clearly elected. >> priebus also told members that he believes trump's apology for the "access hollywood" tape was "heartfelt." yesterday one of his top surrogates, rudy giuliani, introduced him last night making a locker room joke while criticizing hillary clinton. >> do you know how much money,

do you know how much money the clintons got for that? over $100 million. in money for the clinton foundation. boy, that is as phoney as -- i can't say the word. because i have to be nice. i might say it back in the locker room. that is a hockey locker room, after all. hockey, right? but they talk very politically correct. things like, we are going to play, we are going to play our opponents tonight and we are going to be very careful how we deal with them and how we talk about them. come on. we live in the real world. >> donald trump was back on the trail buoyed by his debate

performance. he was greeted by exuberant crowds in pennsylvania. he told them his intent was on winning their state, though he hinted at concerns with the fidelity of the ballots. >> i'm going to make three, four, five stops a day. i may be limping across that finish line. i think the state of pennsylvania, we're going to win so big. i just think we're going to win it so big. and we're going to spend a lot of time in the suburbs over the next couple of weeks. the suburbs of philadelphia. because we got to get that vote. we want to get that vote. i just hear such reports about philadelphia. and we have to make sure we're protected. we have to make sure the people of philadelphia are protected. that the vote counts are 100%. everybody wants that. but i hear these horror shows. i hear these horror shows and we have to make sure that this election is not stolen from us

and is not taken away from us. and everybody knows what i'm talking about. >> during the day trump returned his attention to hillary clinton's e-mails. the crowd responded with the chants that have come to define his rallies. [ audience: lock her up ] >> very, very sad. special prosecutor here we come, right? i win, we're going to appoint the special prosecutor. >> with just four weeks until election day, new poll numbers show donald trump needing to make up ground after the revelation of graphic 2005 comments on friday. the nbc news/"wall street journal" poll taken over the weekend shows hillary clinton in the lead among likely voters by 11 points, 46% to 35%. this in a four-way race with

gary johnson at 9, jill stein at 2. in a two-way race, clinton ahead by 14 points, 52% to 38%, a 7-point swing in her direction. among clinton voters 49% say they are more motivated by support for clinton, 44% against trump. 52% of trump voters are motivated by opposition for clinton, 37% by support for trump. this as a high point university poll, north carolina, taken before trump's comments were revealed showed a tied race in the battleground state. clinton 43%, trump 42%. a troubling poll for congressional republicans as 49% of likely voters nationally say they want democrats in control of congress, 42% prefer republicans. that 7-point margin is the democrats' largest advantage since the government shutdown back in october 2013. in sunday night's debate when asked about his tax returns, donald trump went on the defensive calling out

clinton's supporters for also taking advantage of the tax code. >> she complains that donald trump took advantage of the tax code. well, why didn't she change it? why didn't you change it when you were a senator? the reason you didn't is all your friends take the same advantage that i do. and i do. but i will tell you i pay tremendous numbers of taxes. i absolutely used it. and so did warren buffett. and so did george soros. and so didf many of the other people that hillary is getting money from. >> well, in a press release, buffett broke down his add, gross income $11.6 million and paid $1.8 million in federal income taxes. his total deductions amounted to $5.5 million, including $3.5 million of which were charitable contributions. in the statement buffett added, "i have been audited by the irs multiple times and am currently being audited, i have no problem release ambiguous tax returns under audit, neither would mr.

trump, he would have no legal problem." donald trump's claim he doesn't know whether russia is behind efforts to hack into election systems is being called into question. a senior u.s. intelligence official says that trump and hillary clinton have been briefed since mid-august on cyber security and russia's efforts to meddle with the election. on sunday trump for the second time in two debates declined to acknowledge that hacks, mostly on democratic targets, were real. less than 24 hours after that he celebrated the latest breach of clinton's campaign chairman's personal e-mail by wikileaks. >> but i notice any time anything wrong happens they like to say, the russians. she doesn't know if it's the russians doing the hacking. maybe there is no hacking. they always blame russia. the reason they blame russia, they think they're trying to tarnish me with russia. i know nothing about russia. i know about russia but i don't know anything about the inner workingings of russia.

hillary had no defense for her secret speeches to wall street and international banks that she hid from the public and which were exposed by wikileaks. and by the way, just as i'm walking onto the stage, mayor giuliani said, you're not going to believe this. look at this, we have all of these new charges. did you see? it just came down today. wikileaks, some new stuff, some brutal stuff. i may not read it to you but just trust me, it's real bad stuff. >> wikileaks have released another batch of e-mails reportedly hacked from the private e-mail account of hillary clinton campaign chairman john podesta. he's ac knowledged those e-mails were hacked but warned messages may have been altered or edited. this latest batch offered a number of revolutions including hillary clinton's campaign allegedly feared a potential white house run by vice president joe biden and that it was unprepared for the challenge presented by senator bernie sanders. the documents also claim clinton

wanted to respond to the 2015 book trying to connect actions by her family's foundation to her time at the state department with more force. there is also an alleged exchange involving long-time bill clinton aide regarding a feud with chelsea clinton over ties between the family's foundation and bann's consulting company. bann at one point called clinton a spoiled brat who had a "lack of focus in her life." the context of the criticism is not clear and bann has declined to comment. clinton complained to podesta her father's name was being used on behalf of tennio clients. samsung has asked all companies that sell the galaxy note 7 to halt sales until it pinpoints exactly why it's been overheating. carolyn roth joins us live from london with more. >> good morning to you, lewis. the saga continues. according to a south korean newspaper report this morning samsung will halt sales

permanently of the galaxy note 7. that's after as you pointed out even the replacement devices caught fire. now investors really punishing samsung. they wiped off some $18 billion in market cap shares plummeting some 8% in korean trade. one of the main beneficiaries of this is likely to be apple. but one analyst telling us this morning it might also be some of the chinese vendors. one of the stocks that didn't do well yesterday was twitter. the stock actually nosediving to the tune of 14% in u.s. trade. why? it's because the prospect of one company coming forward and making a bid for twitter is actually waning. now, this is in part because the company is simply not profitable enough. people really don't see a future with or without twitter in their business. the initial front-runners included the likes of sales force, disney, and alphabet. but there is one conflicting report out there saying that

sales force might still make an offer. so it's all up in the air still. but hey, twitter shares down massively yesterday. back over to you. >> some bad news for samsung and twitter, carolyn roth live from london, thanks so much. still ahead, an nbc news investigation, did donald trump predict that his history with women could be a problem if he ran for office? >> interesting. a new drone video showing the extent of the damage from hurricane matthew in north carolina and the floodwaters are still rising. we have the latest.

cheap 12-inch-square marble tiles behind the speaker at the u.n. always bothered me. i will replace with beautiful large marble slabs if they ask me. as of this evening there has been no such request from the world body. that is our broadcast for tonight. welcome back. the islamic state is reportedly facing new hurdles in getting its message out thanks to increased military operations against it. according to a study by researchers at west point, in addition to a drastic drop-off in the amount of messages being sent out by the group, their message has also shift way from one of the functioning state with able leaders finding succession in their mission. the pentagon announced just last month that u.s.-led coalition forces killed 18 high-ranking members of isis in september amid increased efforts to stop the group. joining me from london, nbc news foreign correspondent lucy cavenaugh. how dramatic a dropoff are we talking about here?

>> if we look back to the summer of 2015 when the islamic state was at its peak making gains in iraq and syria, more than 700 media releases in just that month of august. fast forward one year. just 200 media releases in 2016. this is according to the report. so it is a significant drop. at the same time the nature of the propaganda is changing. the group calls itself the islamic state for a rope. and one big appeal to recruits initially was this idea of a self-governing caliphate, a utopia where muslims from all across the world could find refuge. that became a harder sell with isis on the defensive losing ground. the pentagon says an air strike in raqqah killed the group's chief prop band dysresponsible for many of the torture and execution videos. but as far as this report is concerned, is it good news for those who want to see isis defeated? yes. does it mean the group is on its last legs? maybe. but this isn't mission accomplished. the decline is in part because social media companies like

twitter have been suspending isis accounts. but the group adapts and moves on to platforms like telegraph and step. it is still able to get its message out through various channels. just this month isis released its new magazine in eight different languages. the biggest concern is ideology is harder to kill than people and experts caution isis ideology is likely to continue to inspire terrorist acts long after the so-calledal la fate is gone. >> the fight is far from over. thank you for that. when we come back a look at the stories happening in the day ahead.
