station incident. >> and a major mission for nasa takes place today. marlin monroe's dress could fetch millions. "early today" start right now. >> thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> if you're undecided about the elections coming up in november you got an insight into what the candidates were thinking last night. a lot of sparks. >> although not at the same time. >> it will make the debates interesting in september. this morning americans are looking at their next commander in chief with fresh perspective. donald trump bashes the top military brag while hillary clinton was dogged by questions on her e-mail server. trump used the occasion to unlevel harsh criticisms against the country's military leaders. >> i know more about isis than the generals do. believe me. is that the truth? >> well, the generals under

president obama and hillary clinton have not been successful. >> do you know more about isis than they do? >> i think the generals have been reduced to rubble. they have been reduced to a point where it's embarrassing for our country. >> trump did little to fight back criticisms that he's unprepared to be the commander in chief. he remained tight lipped on any plans for -- that he may have for defeating isis. >> the main thing is i have great judgment. i have good judgment. i know what's going on. i was totally against the war in iraq from -- you can look at esquire magazine from o '4. you can look before that. >> you said i'm going to convene my top generals and they will have 30 days to submit a plan for soundly defeating isis. so is the plan you've been hiding this whole time asking someone else for their plan? >> no, but when i do come up

with a plan that i like and that perhaps agrees with my or maybe doesn't -- i may love what the generals come back with. >> but you have your own plan? >> i have a plan. >> and the businessman also had this eyebrow raising moment when he lavished praise on russian president vat myrputin. >> you said it's always a great thing to be respected by a man so highly respected in his country. >> some of them are based right here. look -- >> do you want to be complimented by that former kgb officer? >> i think when he calls me brilliant i'll take the compliment. >> do you think he's going to change his mind on some of these key issues? >> it possible. >> and while they never appeared on stage together it served as a preview for their upcoming

debate and secretary clinton trying to focus on her national credentials while pushing her view in the fight against isis. >> it is in our national security interest to defeat isis and i intend to make that happen. when you're sitting in the situation room as i have on numerous occasions, we have to defeat isis. that is my highest counterterrorism goal. they are not going to get ground troops. we are not putting ground troops into iraq ever again and we're not putting ground troops into syria. >> but a majority of clinton's time was spent fighting back questions on her private e-mail server. >> it was a mistake to have a personal account. i would certainly not do it again. there is no evidence my system was hacked. classified material has a header which says top secret, secret confidential. none of the e-mails sent or

received by me had such a header. >> i communicated about classified material on a wholly separate system. >> and now this morning we have the very e-mails clinton exchanged with former secretary of state colin powell released by the democratic head oversight committee. he did in fact have a personal computer and private phone line for e-mails and did it to do quote, business with foreign leaders and some senior folks in the state department. he said he will have no comment on the release of the e-mail exchange. that all came after usa today reported on a memo saying a decision to not recommend criminal charges against clinton wasn't a close call writing quote, the case itself was not a cliff hanger. there really wasn't a prosecutable case. and clinton will hold a rally in

carolina while trump heads to the ever important state of ohio as his running mate mike pence gives a speech at the ronald ray go -- reagan presidential library. a russian fighter jet came within ten feet of a navy plane wednesday in what is called an unsafe intercept. the navy did not have its transponders turned on and jets. >> reporter: -- it had its strans ponder turned on during the entire flight. the encounter lasted around 19 minutes. these actions have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions and could result in a miscalculation or accident.

time ever putting it at a disadvantage against samsung but sam rung recalled 2.5 million galaxy note phones because of fired linked to its battery giving apple a shot to make a bigger splash this time around. >> and just ahead, good news for drivers heading into fall, plus who wastes more time at work? >> certainly not me. you hear that, bosses? but first i want to take you to wisconsin where parts of the state are dealing with nasty flooding from heavy rains. emergency crews are wading through waist high waters. any relief for them today? >> for them, yes. but areas to the south the possibility of some flooding. thunderstorms plaguing this reason and this will last a good day or two. it's a stalled out front through the region. this is a total of two to three inches, some areas as much as four inches of rain.
