column for roundup of the other races i'm joined by politico. i want to this get straight to the west virginia commercial. the casting call what went out by the national republican senatorial committee is running this commercial against joe mansion in west virginia. i want to give everybody a look at the commercial again. the video of it. according to what the casting sheet was asking, they were going for a hicky blue-collar book, and the talent agency said this was asked for by the nrsc, the independent expenditure ad they paid for. what's your take on this? >> i think it's standard practice for casting companies to put out advertisements. i'm sure your viewers see them all the time. there's different characters in this. when you advertise, words like hicky, which is really rather derogatory, it doesn't make you come across like you're in touch with the voters of the states.

that was the nrc's problem with this. they should not proof the word it became basically derogatory to west virginians. >> and they're talking about joe mansion balking obama joe. just to pass on, the republican officials tell nbc that the controversial tv ad apparently hitting joe mansion featuring the "hicky" actors will be rotated out of the ad rotation. i want to move south to florida. kendrick meek really came on strong in the debate they had down there. can he catch up to the front-runner? marco rubio? >> it's going to be difficult. right now kendrick meek is in third place. he's been trailing in third place for a long time. he's not close to charlie crist. these in second place. or rubio in first place. we saw in the debate last night

kendrick meek bullying up on rubio. >> do we have the sound bite of kendrick meek? apparently he gave a more impressive performance than what people have seen in the past. there are still four more debates between now and november 2nd. isn't that a lot? >> that is a lot. but it's a very competitive contest. a lot of people are watching it. ten di baits are going on in colorado. it's that time of year again. >> so let's move up to connecticut and talk about the debate they had there. this was just as fresh as this morning. the second debate, and basically this is bloomenthal and mcmahon going on the party lines. mcmahon saying bloomenthal is really out of touch. mcmain saying she doesn't know what she's talking about and she just wants to stick with the bush era tax cuts. >> i think the attack lines are

obvious to us now. mcmahon hits bloomenthal on jobs, jobs sh jobs. she doesn't like voters to think of it that way. she wants voters to think of her as a job create creator. that's his tag line over and over again. they'll fight about it again in the next debate. >> no one can debate the wrestling mcmahon was handling was profitable. >> and she made a lot of money. she's funding her own campaign with it. very profitable. >> and can blumenthal get away from the war discrepancies about his service in vietnam? i know he's trying to move away tr the stories, but mcmahon is hitting him hard with those. >> that's another big sticking point. she brought it up in the debate.

she released a television ad that hit him hard for this. she doesn't want voters to forget this. blumenthal is trying to move on. >> do they have more debates before november 2nd. >> there is one more debate coming up. we'll see if it's as funky as this one. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> the suicide of rutgers university freshman tyler clementi is prompting a national discussion about bullying, personal privacy and the dangers of social media. just last night new jersey senator frank lautenberg announced at a rutgers town meeting he's going to introduce a law to require college students to produce a new measure. also at the meeting students bullied for being gay shared their stories. >> i was pushed down the stairs, thrown into a wall.

i began cutting myself. my depression deepened until i was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. >> true stories that happened there. 18-year-old tyler clementi leapt to his death off the george washington bridge after his sexual encounter with another man was broadcast online by his roommate. the president of the rutgers student assembly joins us by telephone to talk about that. i want to thank you for joining us today. has the death of tyler clementi been a real wake-up call to tolerance? >> hello, tom. it's a pleasure to meet with you today. it has been a wake-up call. we consider ourselves at rutgers university a progressive student. we have had no idea that this could be going on in this day and age. it was definitely a wake-up call

that intolerance still exists and there are still people out there. >> last night senator frank lautenberg from new jersey said colleges and universities should adopt a code of conduct and prohibit bullying and harassment of all form ls. he said he's going to introduce new legislation to prior schools to put these policies into place. do you think it's necessary? >> i think it's necessary across the board. just because we have this zero tolerance policy for weapons like could bring in a plastic knife or plastic toy gun to school then get expelled. but if you get bullied, it's so much harder to reach out to other people and get assistance. sometimes when you do reach out to people because you're being bullied, like people don't take it that seriously. i think dulls and the administration needs to take it seriously. >> i know you were part of the town hall meeting that took place last night. how are students in the campus

community feeling towards the roommate of clementi? he's now charged for invasion of privacy for streaming that encounter. but how does the campus feel about that student and what he did? >> from what i saw on facebook, there was an immediate backlash. i urged people to have some restraint and let the justice system take its course. we don't know all the details about what happened. but we know that certain events did occur, and they are disgusting. the streaming stuff over the sbempbt so everyone can see. but we need to have restraint. all three families are grieving. tyler's more than anyone else's. but we need to show some respect to everybody and let the justice system take its ours. >> yousef, it also featured a new psa from tim gunn who shares his personal story of being

bullied. i want to talk to you about it. >> as a 17-year-old youth who was in quite a bit of despair, i attempted to kill myself. and i'm very happy today that the attempt was unsuccessful. at the time it's all that i could contemplate. there are people who can help you. you cannot do this alone. >> what do you think when you do that? there were a lot of emotional testimonies last night at the big town hall meeting. when the big name personalities are coming out to give their own personal stories they lived through, what does that say to you and the the message you need to take back to the students of rutgers? >> i definitely think it helps. in addition to combatting homophob homophobia, we need to destigmatize the process by which people seek help. sometimes people feel it's

unnecessary or they're scared to get help because there's a pride issue or they don't want people pinding out. the fact the high profile people are coming out saying you should go get help, that will definitely push people in the direction they need to go instead of getting further depressed. >> your student newspaper, the second oldest college newspaper in the country on october 5th published an unnamed editorial. it was really anti-media and seemed to target tyler clementi victimizing the victim. what's been the temperature on campus about that editorial, and what's your personal opinion on it? >> i read it. i didn't agree with everything. i did agree with the fact that the -- what's it called -- it's a double-edged sword with a media. we had the cameras in our faces during the vigil on sunday. we really didn't appreciate that. then again, we wanted the nation

to see how well rutgers can come together in a tragic time. >> you think also it helps the nation open up a dialogue? i think you would agree as a young man that probably tv and everything that we see on the internet nowadays, there's never been for information for lgtb youth, why are kids not instilled with a certain level of tolerance towards those unique and different? >> part of it is the environment in which they live. sometimes it's carried through generations. throughout the families. we need to have people mingle more with each other. we need to realize we're all alike. and we have more similarities than differences. >> yousef is the president of rutgers student assembly. i want to thank you for joining us. i really appreciate it. >> thank you, thomas. have a good day.

at this hour u.s. news officials holding a conference for help for mexican authorities to find the body of hartley. tiffany hartley says she and her husband were jet skis on a lake five days ago when they were ambushed by mexican pirates. yesterday the hartley family laid a wreath on the lake saying they wanted to do something special in david's memory. >> i know he's out there. and we just want, we just all want him back. so we can give him the proper good-bye. closure, i don't think that's going to come until we have him back. >> >> reporter: good afternoon, thomas. we have new information in the search. that is that mexican authorities now have boats, helicopters and what they call specialized personnel working on the search for the body of david hartley. that information has been independently confirmed by officials on the united states

side of the lake. because they've seen the boats in the water, and the helicopters in the air. it's been one week since this attack happened on the mexico side of the falcon lake reservoir. still no closure for tiffany hartley, though she did return to the reservoir yesterday with her family. she went on a boat with sheriff officials and threw some flowers in the water. the only closure she says she can have for now. texas governor rick perry called on mexico's president to step up the search to return the body of david hartley to the united states and to this family within 48 hours. last the latest from here. now back to you, thomas. >> that was janet shamlian reporting for us. david hartley's family is calling for u.s. and mexican authorities to work together in the search. can you believe it? we've hit a quarter century of the pink campaign.

there's no question awareness for breast cancer is way up, but can the same be said about money to find a cure from the various public relations campaign. we'll dive into that. th walmart. when william came in i knew he had everything he needed to be a leader in this company.

if you didn't know, october is breast cancer awareness month. and the color is everywhere. pink has come to symbolize the effort to find a cure for breast cancer. since the susan g.komen foundation launched it has raised millions. some are wondering where haul the money goes, and how much real progress has been made. president of the national breast

cancer coalition is with us. on monday a lot of people may have seen how you blogged on the huffington post that you didn't feel like celebrating. >> well, it's been 25 years that we've had breast cancer awareness month and longer we've been raising awareness about breast cancer. and we have not made significant process. >> what about the women saved through the awareness over the last 25 years through self-breast examination, through the research that has been made? shouldn't we celebrate their lives, that they're still living? >> i think it's very important to celebrate life and to celebrate the fact that we have saved some lives for breast cancer. but this year alone, around the world, 500,000 women will die of the disease in this country alone almost 40,000. that is not something to celebrate. that's what we have to change. >> let's go over that to give people more context. the date rate, 110 women every

day in the united states. that has dropped by some 15% since 1985. but you say that's not enough progress. >> no, that is not. >> so your big question is where is all the money going for this. we're talking about millions of dollar here. what are you learning about where the money is being spent to move progress forward? >> actually we're talking billions of dollars between what the federal government appropriates for breast cancer research and what is spent privately, we are talking billions of dollars for research and awareness. and some of it has been very well spent. we know more about breast cancer. but we focus too much on the existing system. we built this great infrastructure around breast cancer. now we have to take the system and change it and accelerate progress towards a deadline. that's why my organization has declared january 1, 2020, that's

when we want to see the end of breast cancer. >> i want to read what susan love said in her book quote. there's frustration out there that we don't know more. we're wearing pink, walking and running to raise money for research. god knows we're aware. and yet we still don't really have a clue what causes this disease. when you hear something like that, your reaction? we're not going to end breast cancer until we know how to prevent it. that's what we need to focus on. that's why the national breast cancer coalition has issued the call for a deadline. >> and the deadline is, january 1, 2020. >> we'll get behind you on that one. thank you and good to have you with us today. stamps out childhood obesity. new york city is considering a controversial way to control the

continues to rise $350 billion has been spent. $10 million every hour of every day. osama bin laden remains elusive, and the taliban appears to be holding onto its own, claiming they now control up to 75% of the country. nbc these chief foreign correspondent richard engel has been covering the stories for the very beginnings. richard, as we talk about this, i'm still going over those numbers. it's mind boggling. and we think about the money spent on a daily basis as we break it down. let's talk about the accomplishments as we enter the tenth year. how can we say that we've moved forward when it seems like we're continuing to do the same thing over and over again daily? >> in afghanistan? >> yes. >> the accomplishment right now is basically the same

accomplishment you had nine years ago. the taliban is out of power. that's it. on one hand taliban is out of power. two, al qaeda has been significantly reduced. the influence in afghanistan proper. the problem is, it just moved over the border into pakistan. so you can't say al qaeda has been eliminated. it's just been shifted. so the accomplishments at this stage aren't that many to list. you could list them on one hand. >> but they claim to have 75% of the country. >> those are taliban claims. i don't think they control 75% of the country. they have influence in particular villages and towns. but as an entity, they don't have an army to control 75% of the territory. the government doesn't control a great deal, but certainly more than 25%.

this is ach ramping up the troop ls. >> there's been a lot of back and forth. >> a lot. >> the start of the next phase will begin next summer. that's a loose deadline. >> so we can't hold president obama's feet to the fire? >> the people whose feet are being held to the fire are the commanders on the ground in afghanistan. they know they have about a year to show results. they think the president is putting down a benchmark saying this surge ends or at least starts to end in a year. unless you generals are start to show progress in afghanistan, then the surge will end rapidly in a year, and we're just going to not continue with this. so the people feeling pressured by this are already feeling pressured by this. and those tr the commanders in afghanistan. >> and to confuse everybody more about the situation. let's talk about pakistan. >> they're really one conflict.

>> right, they continue to be attacked in pakistan after a u.s. helicopter attacked. >> two u.s. helicopters. >> and they killed pakistani soldiers. two of them. now it seems we've lost the footing we had in trying to get into pakistan and keeping open these communication levels with the u.s. fighting a war in which we need all the help we can get. >> you have two countries nextdoor to each other. afghanistan and pakistan. afghanistan is landlocked. all the nonessential military supplies. so it comes into the ports in the south, on trucks all the way up through the country and then crosses the mountains. and there are high mountains between afghanistan and pakistan and crosses into afghanistan.

it's almost very 19th century. that's the way they do it now. there are a few mountain passes between pakistan and afghanistan. that's where the supplies run. those supply routes have always been problematic. when the u.s. invaded afghanistan, the u.s. went over the mountains into pakistan. that's where the supply route is going. the u.s. is working with the pakistanis to protect the lines. last week two cross border incursions. the first on monday killed 50 people in pakistan. all a lot of them were militant ls. that was a helicopter raid. it didn't cause a huge disturbance. the other was thursday, a helicopter incursion that killed two pakistani border guards.

that cause ad tremendous uproar in pakistan. so the ally the u.s. has been working with cut offer those supply lines in order to punish and show -- punish the u.s. and show how aggravated pakistan really was. trying to get involved in the way it all has to be pulled out. what the troops are trying to do over there. >> landlocked country in central asia is hard to resupply. if you're doing it through pakistan. ian harder. >> thanks so much. good to have you with us in studios, of course. a national gps monitoring system used to track sex offenders overloads and shuts down. officials in 49 states had no way to track the location of nearly 16,000 offenders. those are required to wear ankle monitors. similar to the one you see there.

they jailed nearly 140 known sex offenders right away, until the tracking system got back up. nbc analyst and formal profiler clint van zandt joins us live. why no back up plan for something like this happening? it is monitoring equipment. there are technical difficults. this is a private agency that is being employed by the u.s. government and various state agencies to monitor, as you say, 16,000. 16,000 registered sex offenders in the country. at any time, 100,000 are out of compliance to begin with. this is just the very top of the iceberg of the problems in this system. >> so explain to all of us that don't understand how closely is this company and the agencies

involved monitoring the offenders they need to? >> not near as close as we think. we have a false sense of belief it's like somebody in air traffic control watching the screen with numbers and we know where every sex offender goes. the reality is it doesn't work like that. very few are monitored realtime. otherwise you have to go back, pull the data from the ankle bracelet and match it up to where a crime took place. thomas, just last year in washington state a 13-year-old girl was murdered by a registered sex offender while he was wearing the bracelet. even if we could monitor full time, it tells us where they're at, but not what they're doing. >> let's talk about wisconsin's plan "b" and what they did by gathering up 140 sex offenders and put them in jail as precaution. is that a good plan "b"? >> they were trying to send the

message that we can do something about it. but thomas, where's the other three-quarters of a million? are states spreading out looking for those? and just like asaid, 100,000 are out of compliance at any one time. they may have been trying to send a message that they could do something other than rely on the system. the reality is technology doesn't serve us like we believe. >> while it did happen. the offenders were not aware they were not being tracked. clint van z harandt, thank you joining us. more family members, well wishers and medics are gathering. hour by hour rescue workers are inching closer to pulling the men to safety. special sunglasses arrived to help protect their eyes when they emerge into daylight after more than two months in near

darkness. i understand the fast process may slow down because the rescue effort becomes more delicate as they get closer to the men. explain it to us. >> reporter: exactly. they started with a five-inch hole. a drill shaft. they went down. here's a piece of the rock from that drill shaft there. this is the first one. very smooth. goes all the way down. then they widen it and made it 12 inches. now it's being expanded to 28 inches. they're almost all the the way down 28 inches from here to here, all the way down to where the men are once that happens, then they can move, we believe very quickly if they decide they don't need to reinforce the edges it's possible there could be rescues sunday, monday or tuesday or if they decide to reinforce it with a sleeve, a metal pipe that goes down. there's an opinion among the

engineers whether it's necessary and whether it will help or hinder. but the surest sign is what they are talking about in the coming day days. >> whether in good health or not, they will be sent to the hospital. they could probably have a couple of hours here. then to have the first contact with very close family members. >> so there we are talking about the final stages of what will happen as each of the 33 miners is brought up. there's a general sense here of confidence that once things are in place, they will be brought up. they are say semiabling the crane there.

part of it being put together. they will use that to bring up and down the escape pod. it's a capsule each man will get into one by one. perhaps the surest sign here is there's a general sense they're almost to the end of this is that those down below have started to send up momentos, including wrapping up t-shirts and sending them up the tube, the same tube that has been sending them down water and food and cameras and other thicks. they're sending up things they would like to have. so all the families up here. as well as the international press that exceeds hundreds, maybe even a thousand. all waiting for the moment when we see the men get out of this horrific situation. . a lot of fingers crossed.

a lot of engineering involved. a very anxious moment for the families that are here. >> they'll be coming out to a celebration they can't anticipate. kerry sanders in chile. baby we were born to run. they can only mean one thing, the boss. we're going to have the boss and brian williams when we come back. stay with us. ing there? ing there? dancing there? flying there? how about eating soup to get there? delicious campbell's soups fill you with good nutrition, energy, farm-grown ingredients, and can help you keep a healthy weight. helping you get to a happier place. have a nice trip. campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do.
