and traffic on the nbc 10 app. thanks for watching. the "today" show starts right now. good morning. face to face. hand to hand combat. donald trump and hillary clinton go after each other in a spirited first debate. >> all talk, no action. >> there's something he's hiding. >> attacking each other's record. >> hillary has experience, but it's bad experience. >> and getting personal. >> this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs. >> did either candidate move the needle? we'll ask our decision 2016 team and the vice presidential candidates tim kaine and mike pence weighing in live today, tuesday, september 27th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from

studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. we'll get the numbers later today, but they were saying this might be the most watched debate ever. maybe 100 million viewers. that would get us into super bowl territory. >> there was a lot of hype. in some ways it lived up to it although i think if you look at the coverage this morning most people agree no knockout punch. no game changer. a lot to chew on no question about it. we'll get reaction to the debate from the two vice presidential nominees. senator tim kaine and governor mike pence in just a little while. first our decision 2016 team has it covered starting with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. i think you're right. it was an historic night. largely lived up to the hype. a night of contrasts on policy, personality and preparation. hillary clinton demonstrating her preparation. donald trump relying heavily on

his instincts. after their opening remarks, pleasantries were quickly abandon abandoned. donald trump challenging hillary clinton on a washington insider. >> you haven't done it for 30 years. >> i have been a senator and secretary of state. >> reporter: clinton dismissing trump's attacks. >> i have a feeling by the end of this evening i'm going to be blamed for everything that's ever happened. >> why not? >> over 90 minutes, clinton accusing her brash opponent of being racist, sexist and xenophobic. on trump's past comments about women. >> this is a man who has called women, pigs, slobs and dogs. >> and on the birther controversy. >> he has really started his political activity based on this racist lie that our first black

president was not an american citizen. >> reporter: the debate highlighted the contender's liabilities. trump defending his refusal to release his tax returns like presidential candidates have done for decades. >> i will release my tax returns against my lawyer's wishes when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted. >> reporter: the billionaire admitting on multiple occasions he didn't pay any federal income tax. >> he didn't pay federal income tax. >> that makes me smart. >> that means zero for troops. zero for vets. zero for schools or health. >> reporter: the republican nominee scolding clinton over her e-mail scandal. >> i made a mistake using a private e-mail. >> that's for sure. that was not a mistake. that was done purposely. >> reporter: trump raising eyebrows trying to convert what viewers see as his biggest weakness into a strength. >> i have much better judgment

than she does. no question about that. i also have a much better temperament than she has. >> reporter: one of the night's fiercest exchanges, on the fight against isis. >> at least i have a plan to fight isis. >> you're telling the minute everything you want to do. you tell the enemy everything you want to do. no wonder you've been fighting isis your entire adult life. >> reporter: and on trump's disproven claim he opposed the iraq war before it began. >> donald supported the invasion of iraq. that's proved. >> reporter: the later it got, the more heated the exchanges. >> where did you find it? >> she has become a u.s. citizen and you can bet she's going to vote this november. >> okay. good. let me just tell you -- >> reporter: by night's end clinton believes her own debate preparation paid off. >> i think donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate.

and yes i did. you know what else i prepared for? i prepared to be president and i think that's a good thing. >> reporter: unlike in past campaign years, there's no written agreement between the two campaigns that would effectively lock them into participate in each of the next two debates. while donald trump's adviser rudy giuliani said last night that if he were running, he would pull out of the next debate. trump told nbc news late last night, that he is committed to showing up for the next debate scheduled october 9th. matt and savannah? >> all right, peter. thank you very much. >> let's turn to chuck todd and nicole wallace. good morning to you both. if you watched this until 9:30 and turned it off, a lot of people felt trump is having a very good night. it did seem like his energy and his answering of the questions waned over the night. would you agree? >> the lack of preparation showed itself in the last half of the debate. the irony of him talking about her stamina, he seemed to run

out of gas at the end. he seemed to run out of steam. i think that goes to a lack of preparation because he took the bait on almost every little thing. the last half of the debate i can't remember a substantive exchange on issues. i remember him defending himself. it became more about himself rather than specific issues. >> i don't think it was as time went on, i thought in each particular section his first responses to the two-minute question, if you will, were fairly much back to his talking points. but when the followups came, he just went back to his talking points. so there seemed to be maybe preparation but a lack of depth there. >> i mean, understatement of the day. listen, i was involved in preparing a couple of different candidates who were not known for their debate acumen. they turned in stronger performances than trump did last

night. george w. bush who had a disastrous first debate against john kerry and had to recalibrate. the trump camp was not trying to spin this as a good night for them. their word was missed opportunities. missed opportunity after missed opportunity. i have to say both of these things can be true. she was excellent and she exceeded expectations that were very, very high for her. and his poll numbers will likely not be affected by a terrible performance. >> perfect segue. let's get to the so what of it. is it going to move the needle for either of them? >> if it moves the needle for anybody i think it's more likely to move it for her than him. supporters probably loved the atmosphere that he created. oh yeah. he got her with tax return and e-mail question. there are a group of voters that are swing voters, moderate republicans, suburban republicans, nothing he did last night to me made me think he added those people to his

column. these are people pondering clinton. >> temperament and trust are a lot of words we're hearing. on the subject of trust and her e-mail situation. i thought she did something very smart last night. when she was asked last night, she answered two or three sentences and stopped. she didn't do what she's done in the past going on and on in a layering answer. >> she said yesterday we learned so much from the reviews we got and response we got from the commander in chief forum. they had ten days, two weeks, to completely recalibrate. i think they felt like what they had to do was answer that question and move on. they did that last night. i will say to him, he didn't get on offense. the problem -- voters are willing to give him a pass for not being a politician. voters are willing -- he's graded on a curve because voters love the unvarnished truthfulness of the way he

answers questions. he couldn't get himself on offense and that's why -- >> early on he did on a couple of issues. on a couple issues he did. >> she was speechless almost when he said so when you vote on tpp, that means president obama did -- she was speechless. he has her on trade. watch focus groups in ohio and pennsylvania but then cyb cybersecurity comes in and he misses the e-mail hit. >> next debate what does he have to do differently? >> he'll do much better. he has to do better than last night. >> easier said than done. >> we'll talk about a new low bar. he can, i would imagine he'll be better. he needs to watch videotape of himself on mute. split screens didn't help him. >> don't go anywhere. we'll keep you all morning long. >> we want to turn now to

senator tim kaine. hillary clinton's running mate. senator, good morning. good to see you. >> good to be with you. thanks. >> if you were a millennial and you were watching last night and toying with the idea of voting for a third-party candidate because you want some sort of change to be brought into the process, did hillary clinton say anything last night that you think would sway them in her direction? >> well, yeah, matt, a couple things. she laid out a detailed plan about how we're going to grow the economy including significant support for education and bringing down college costs and secondly, she drew a clear distinction between herself and donald trump on a fundamental issue with millennials which is she accepts climate science and believes we need to do something about climate change, and she pointed out that donald trump believes climate science is a hoax. he tried to deny he said that but he's said it over and over

again. this is a fundamental litmus test for them. they want to know what you'll do to deal with climate issues and the planet. so she drew a good distinction. >> she was asked about the e-mails. tried to dispatch with that question rather quickly. donald trump did point out correctly that several staffers were given fifth amendment immunity against criminal prosecution as part of this investigation. she didn't take it on. she didn't explain it. can you explain that? >> you know, i thought that there was a pair of trust issues that were put on the table for each of them. the e-mail question was hers to answer. she did. she just looked right in the camera and said i made a mistake. i apologize for it. i take responsibility. there's been an fbi investigation. they determined nothing more needs to be done. >> on that immunity issue. >> the question for donald trump

was the birther issue. he wouldn't apologize. his explanation of why he did it made no sense. why he persisted in it for five years. you got to see a trust issue put before each. one candidate said i made a mistake. i learned. i'm sorry. one refused to apologize and refused to take responsibility. i thought that contrast was sharp. >> both you and secretary clinton over the course of the last quite long period of time said you don't believe donald trump has the temperament to be president and commander in chief. talk to me about his temperament last night? what did you see that either bolsters your claim or shakes it? >> you know, i don't think he was prepared. in terms of the specifics, he offered very few specifics on any policy issue. he did attack. that's true. in terms of policy, he didn't offer specifics with the exception of his big tax plan, which is huge cuts for folks at the top. he didn't show a command of specifics. he didn't answer basic questions

like questions about his tax return. and he showed that he was easily rattled. probably i thought hillary's best moment was when donald trump got challenged about comments that he's made about her looks that she doesn't look presidential. he tried to change that and said i was talking about her stamina. hillary said you go to 120 countries and you sit before a congressional hearing for 11 hours and then talk to me about stamina. in the split screen i was watching at that moment, she looked like she was ready for another 11 hours and debate and he looked like he was out of gas and leaning up against the ropes. that showed a temperament and preparedness issue and really worked to hillary's advantage. >> senator, we appreciate you being with us after a long night. thank you very much. >> you bet. thanks, guys. >> in the next half hour we'll talk to donald trump's running mate, mike pence. >> all of the body language last night was a feeling of certainly

relief but also that they felt they had a good night. >> no doubt. it is interesting. you brought up the millennial issue first with them. it was clear they had two pieces of business they were hoping to do. one is the way they had this prepared ad with the former beauty pageant contestant who donald trump apparently offended. the minute she launched that hit on him, within ten minutes of the debate being over they were out with an ad. it targeted latinos. the point is she has two big problems in the obama coalition. enthusiasm with latinos. i'll be curious to see if that worked last night. >> a week from tonight is the vice presidential. is that ever about the vice presidential candidates or is that just surrogates for the presidential candidates? >> i mentioned sarah palin in the last segment. in that case it was. usually an opportunity to redirect the momentum. i also mentioned bush's less

than stellar first debate against john kerry. vice president cheney was able to turn the momentum back in his direction. it becomes pivotal when one side or the other has lost momentum. if mike pence has a great night, the trump team can turn momentum back in their direction. >> interesting. you mention strategy. pieces of business that the clinton team wanted to accomplish. on the other side, you did see trump hitting some sweet spots for republican voters. he talked about the e-mail we just mentioned fifth amendment thing. he talked about janet yellen at the fed. do you think that's a good strategy in terms of expanding? >> i think their goal was to use this to unite republicans and right before the debate he put out a new list of potential supreme court nominees. i thought that actually was a missed piece of business last night. that's been the most important rallying cry for many republicans is the supreme court. and he did not spend a lot of time on that last night.

you know, again, this goes to preparation issue. there were ways he could have inserted some issues and he just whiffed. time and again he whiffed at opportunities. >> chuck and nicole, thank you so much. we'll have a lot more for you guys and how this may reshape the race in just a little while. >> let's take a turn and get a check of the weather from al. >> we've been talking about the flooding in iowa. cedar rapids. good news is the river there, cedar river, just about ready to start receding. not quite at records but awfully close. as you look closer you can see that we're looking at the peak happening sometime this afternoon and then quickly receding. here in the east, we've got a front that goes from new england all of the way down into texas. heaviest rain is going to be along the mid-atlantic states into the northeast. we really need the rain here in the northeast in new england. got a bit of a drought going on. the heaviest rain is actually going to happen down along the mid-atlantic coast. the secondary front brings in more moisture. look at what we look at the next

five days. upwards of five inches of rain from central pennsylvania all of the way down into the virginias and may see even something else developing as we get into the weekend. it's going to be a wet time. where we really need the rain, we're not getting it. we'll get to your know how you earn the title ... world's best mom? by starting each day with a perfectly balanced mug of... i've got this. mom! to be on top of your mom game... nailed it! thanks so much. you need a balanced coffee you can drink throughout the day. good girl. mccafé coffees brew a smooth blend. for a taste that's not too strong, but never weak. so you can savor every sip knowing you are matriarch supreme. mommy's not a napkin honey. mccafé. available where you buy groceries. good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley. a damp start to the day but we will see more and more sunshine this afternoon. a pretty good warmup, too. 70s for philadelphia, somerton, 75 degrees this afternoon. you'll see sunshine breaking through the clouds this morning.

the suburbs and the lehigh valley, enough sunshine to warm to near 80 degrees in allentown. lingering clouds in new jersey, a chance of some scattered showers, especially at the shore. it's drying out in wilmington, the high of 75 this afternoon. have a great day. >> that's your latest weather. >> al, thank you so much.much. coming up, one of the times people were talking about last night. what exactly did donald trump mean when he said he didn't make a certain comment about hillary clinton's family. we'll get into that. >> his running mate, indiana governor mike pence weighs in on the debate and where the race goes from here. he'll join us live. first, this is "today" on nbc.

road conditions for the morning commute. allow extra time and use caution out and about this morning, watching an accident, abington at the intersection of kent road and egg shell road. doylestown, again, it's slacking, 20 minutes late. vai? >> thank you. two towns in montgomery county will discuss whether their joint police department is in jeopardy. a public meeting is set for tonight in east greenville for citizens of that town and nearby pennsburg, upper perkiomen officers patrol both of those towns. earlier this month, east greenville voted to disband and form its own police force to save money. pennsburg, officials favor expanding the current joint police department. i'm vai sikahema. we'll have another update coming up in 25 minutes. get the latest news and weather with the nbc 10 app. now back to the "today" show. have a great day. we'll see you at the top of the hour.

back now at 7:30 on a tuesday morning. it's the 27th day of september, 2016. it's also the morning after the first all-important presidential debate. millions watching last night. hillary clinton, donald trump going head to head for 90 minutes on the most explosive issues in this election. >> we talked to tim kaine in our half hour. mike pence is here and we'll talk to him in a moment and today's first campaign moment happened before clinton and trump took the stage. their spouses were at the center of attention. exchanging pleasantries in front of the audience. a lot of people on twitter

noticed the setting was different from 11 years ago and bill clinton attended the trump wedding. >> one of the big questions heading into the debate, how was trump going to handle himself? that temperament question. nbc's hallie jackson is still at hofstra. good morning to you. >> reporter: for donald trump it was all about whether he could come off as presidential under that very big spotlight and in the end it was talk about his temperament that ended up going viral. maybe not for the reasons you think. temperament the top trend of the night with twitter and facebook lighting up when donald trump said this. >> i have much better judgment than she does. there's no question about that. i also have a much better temperament than she has, you know. i have a much better -- >> reporter: hitting his rival -- >> i said there's a person with

a temperament problem. >> reporter: the first general election presidential debate, a kind of test with trump kicking it off seeming sarcastic. >> with all fairness to secretary clinton, yes, is that okay, good. i want you to be very happy. it's very important to me. >> reporter: for both candidates, it wasn't just what they said but how they said it. their expressions, speaking volumes. split screen showing clinton appearing composed and sometimes amused. >> i have a feeling by the end of the evening i'll be blamed for everything that's ever happened. >> reporter: compare that to trump's more animated expression repeatedly interrupting clinton and even rolling his eyes. >> were you mad? some said you seemed angry. >> i was not angry at all. >> reporter: in the spin room after the debate, trump's team uniformly praising what they call his restraint.

>> i was going to say something extremely rough to hillary, to her family. i said to myself, i can't do it. i just can't do it. it's inappropriate. it's not nice. >> reporter: the candidate himself pleased he held off on certain topics like bill clinton's past affairs. >> i'm very glad that i didn't mention it because chelsea was in the room. indiscretions by bill i didn't think would be appropriate to do. >> reporter: did either candidate in your view look presidential? >> i think they each looked presidential to their own supporters in the course of this. i think what both candidates tried to do was to appeal to their base voters. if this was a debate that was supposed to persuade people in the middle to come to either side, i doubt if it accomplished that. >> reporter: so the question now given all this, will trump prepare any differently for the next debate? his advisers are telling me they don't think so and will continue

to do what they've done which is let trump be trump. >> we're joined by indiana governor mike pence. governor, good morning. nice to have you with us. >> good to be here. >> you saw the debate last night. you were in the hall. was this donald trump at his best or is there room for improvement? >> it was a good debate. i thought donald trump had a great night. what the american people saw is what crowds of tens of thousands are seeing across the country and that's someone that speaks straight from his mind and straight from his heart and focused on issues that american people care about talking about jobs and trade economy and trade deals that will work for the american worker. i was just excited to be there and excited to see donald trump lay out that positive vision for america. quite a contrast to hillary clinton who spent two to one the amount of time attacking my running mate that she did

talking about her plan. >> i thought he struggled on the birther question. he was asked what happened last week that made him step away from that question and declare once again that barack obama was born in this country and had some unusual answer about he accomplished his goal of getting obama to release the birth certificate but that came five years ago and he persisted with this birther question. can you explain that because he didn't. >> i think the people that persisted with this in this presidential campaign was really the media. >> he was involved as well with innuendo and questions. >> i've been campaigning with him for the last two months and watch his campaign unfold the last two years. donald trump has been focused on rebuilding our military and having a stronger america on the world stage. >> he had multiple opportunities to put it to rest and declined. multiple opportunities. >> the reality is that -- and he said this last night. this began long before he walked on the national stage five years ago.

it began literally in the 2008 campaign. you know, i think the reason why he's made the connection that he's made with millions of americans and the reason why you see the momentum in this campaign is even showing up in polls around the country is because donald trump is talking about the issues the american people care about and last night that was in high relief. here's a candidate in hillary clinton who has been on the public stage for the last 30 years and basically this was a status quo versus change. donald trump showed the energy, the leadership to be able to carry a message of change washington, d.c. and strengthen this nation. >> let's talk about another issue. last night hillary clinton said donald trump thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the chinese. mr. trump responded i did not, i did not, i do not say that. in point of fact if you look on twitter this morning, you'll see a tweet from donald trump that states the concept of global warming was created by and for the chinese in order to make

u.s. manufacturing noncompetitive. was that not true? did he tell a lie last night? >> what he said was -- that by the way was a flippant and joking comment. >> if you look on twitter, there are probably at least six occasions where he calls climate change a hoax. >> what donald trump's position is the hoax is some bureaucrats in washington, d.c. can change the climate of the earth. the other piece of this is donald trump and i both know that hillary clinton's plans and barack obama's plans on climate change are going to continue to cost millions of american jobs. the big win last night for donald trump is that he really focused on jobs. he focused on not the tax increases that hillary clinton is advocating but tax relief for working families, small businesses, family farms, making america more competitive and that means pushing back on this radical climate change agenda that hillary clinton wants to advance. >> he didn't do something that

he's done during the campaign and that is bringing up the marital problems of the clintons. chelsea was in the room. it wasn't appropriate. seemed proud of himself for that restraint. you will have to imagine chelsea will be in the room for the next several debates. do you agree with that strategy? >> the whole evening was an avalanche of insults by hillary clinton. it was remarkable. i was seated in the front row. it was one line after another leveling personal attacks at donald trump. what the american people saw last night is the word you used. it was restraint. for the president of the united states, that person has to have the temperament, they have to have restraint to deal with a wider world and challenges facing the american people, and i couldn't have been more proud of donald trump -- >> he hasn't shown the restraint on the campaign trail on that subject. >> i think what people saw last night, two different styles on the stage. one very, very scripted

politician, 30 years in public life and here on the other side you saw a businessman, a doer, someone who spent a lifetime building, speaking straight to the american people. i thought donald trump had great night. >> governor pence, thank you for getting up early with us. we appreciate your time. we'll see one week from tonight. >> let's bring chuck and nicole back in. this is weird because governor pence is still here. he says his running mate drew clear distinctions last night and had a good night. what did you think? >> he's a very important person in the trump world because he made the two best points that his candidate made last night. the best arguments against hillary clinton is that she's been there for 30 years and that donald trump has spent this campaign on the trail, on the stump, listening to ordinary americans. but donald trump didn't underscore those points last night as well as governor pence did this morning. >> it was interesting. you know how you can see talking points being shaped and they

talked this morning. he is not denying it wasn't a good night now. there were a lot of insults in the air and looks like they want to blame hillary clinton for the tone of the evening. interrogato interesting to hear him say that. >> right after the debate we go to the spin room. that's where the surrogates go. nicole you have been at this rodeo many, many times. donald trump himself went into the spin room. that could be interpreted a couple different ways. was he trying to clean up his performance and immediately knew that or was it just he loves the cameras and couldn't stay away? >> he was in the spin room after many of the gop primary debates. i think he likes the spin room. it is, as you said, traditionally a place for staffers to do that sort of work. he has so far liked doing that work for himself. that won't hurt him. i think his problem is the governor in here this morning talking about restraint, trying to get the campaign back on

message at the same moment the candidate was on another news program doubling down against miss universe. >> by the way, you saw governor pence. he's got a running mate that works hard defending him. does a pretty good job doing it. >> if you based a lot of your campaign, chuck and nicole, on being a winner and that's what donald trump has done. he says he's a winner. you have a performance last night where it's hard to walk away saying i was a big winner last night. what does it do to your mojo going forward? >> after all of his setbacks, when he lost the wisconsin primary and horrible august. he was at war with a gold star family. it's hard to even say that sentence. he was able to recalibrate. sometimes in his inner circle the dynamic that rules the day is when he has a setback, those

who want him to maked adjustmens have their influence and people that want donald to be donald win the day. >> there's a long history whether the president or a candidate coming back from a first debate and coming back strong. >> we'll know that if in two days we hear news that they got donald trump to watch his performance. they got him to watch on mute. remember that right after al gore's bad first debate against then governor bush. they leaked that out. a way of trying to reassure supporters, he's working harder this time. i wouldn't be surprised in two days we get that kind of conversation from the kellyanne conways and governor penses of the world. >> you're excused. let us take a look at the rest of the debate schedule. vice presidential candidates will square off a week from tonight. there are two more presidential debates still to come. the next on october 9th in st. louis. the third on october 19th. that one in las vegas.

>> from politics to the weather. al is standing by his weather board. >> it's great having so many people here. we're going to cool down a bit around the great lakes into the northeast. going to feel more fallike which is okay. look at these temperatures going into latter part of the week. 69 in green bay. new york city dropping into the upper 60s. 80 degrees in raleigh. as we head toward the weekend, look at this. boston, you'll be at 57 degrees. 53 in atlanta. 48 in kansas city. all right. time to break out the good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley. a damp start to the day but we will see more and more sunshine this afternoon. a pretty good warmup, too. 70s for philadelphia, somerton, 75 degrees this afternoon. you'll see sunshine breaking through the clouds this morning. the suburbs and the lehigh valley, enough sunshine to warm to near 80 degrees in allentown. lingering clouds in new jersey, a chance of some scattered showers, especially at the shore.

trying to get a degree. how hard is it to do daily life all the time. >> organized chaos. >> people talk about how the lives of the service members change after they are injured or wounded while serving our country. talk about our situation and how your life changed. >> my husband and i met in '99. we were married in 2001. he's been to kosovo, korea, afghanistan and in afghanistan he stepped on a device and lost both legs and his elbow. my husband is missing both legs above the knee and his arm is fused in a 90 degree angle. full dexterity in his right hand. limited feeling. back injury, hearing loss and it just keeps going. >> you never thought twice. this is just something you were going to do as a spouse and this happens with friends and other family members all the time. when it first happened, jessica, did you think there were a lot

of other people like you across the country? >> no. as an infantry wife you prepare for one of two options. they come home safe or they come home in a box. the army does not prepare you for in between and in between never ends. i have to look at what my day will look like and pray my husband doesn't further injure himself. >> why did you think you could have an impact on this? >> i covered some of this turf as a fake life as an actor who puts on other people's clothes and emotional impact has never left. it comes down to a chance in order to serve and i think help out in a very pragmatic and understandable way. there's nothing unique about it. let's come up with this organization that will put these people together and rally their resource. simple concept. >> i asked you if you felt alone. i want to go to washington. senator elizabeth dole is an integral part of all of this. she's surrounded right now by 50

other military caregivers from all across the country. senator, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> talk to me about the people you're surrounded by. >> these are wonderful dole foundation caregiver fellows. they are taking care of the wounded, the ill, the injured, many of them are spouses, young spouses in their 20s, 30s, they're also mothers, dads, siblings taking care of a brother or a sister. and i'm so proud of them. they're representing all of the 50 states and puerto rico. >> senator, tom just joked he got involved in this because he has some experience with this in his fake life. you were really involved with this because of an experience in your personal life. >> well, you know, my husband, bob, was wounded at the end of world war ii but he has managed to do very well despite those wounds but about five years ago

he was ill and was hospitalized at walter reed for about 11 months. i was there day in and day out and what i saw just opened my eyes to something i had no idea about. i found a young wife sleeping by her husband's bed having both legs amputated. down the hall was mrs. stewart from mississippi. she was taking care of her son putting scriptures on the walls of the hospital in his room every day to encourage him because he was about to undergo his 40th operation. and i began to take the caregivers that i got to know there at walter reed down to washington to get them out of the hospital room for a night and i became much more familiar with the kinds of challenges that they had. worrying about how they were going to manage the legal, the financial matters for the family. coordinating across health care

system with different structures because of the multiple illnesses and injuries. had to do something about it. >> that's a good way to kind of segue back to you, tom. what can people do? >> well, they're getting involved at hiddenheroes.org. the thing that i can't stress enough is there are military caregivers in your neighborhood. you will be -- it will be astounding how a tiny bit of help can alter the lives of those people. a ride in the morning. help with the kids. a job offer. businesses that can work schedules that make it easier for people like jessica to take care of the kids, chaz, the husband, as well as get on with the rest of life. this is really the unwritten act three for a lot of these people. it's going to define the future for an awful lot of americans. >> you will be a powerful voice in this cause.

jessica, what a pleasure to meet you. senator dole, we thank you for your work and support in this initiative as well. >> thank you very much. >> and again, for more on hidden heroes, go to today.com and you can join the conversation with hashtag hidden heroes. up next, samuel l. jackson. first, this is "today" on nbc. katie mcginty: franny, johnny, mikey, maureen, jimmy, joey, ricky, eileen, me, and colleen... all 10 of us raised on a policeman's salary and a mom working as a restaurant hostess. imagine trying to do that today, with washington looking out for the favored few. i'll bring a different point of view to the u.s. senate - working class roots and the mother of three, i'll put middle class families ahead of wall street.

i'm katie mcginty and i approve this message because it's your turn to get ahead. does pat toomey speak for you? i also want to thank the nra for it's, uh, strong support for my campaign. pat toomey: he opposes an assault weapons ban and got an "a" rating from the nra. "i have had a perfect record with the nra." and on women's health? "i would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion, and i would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey: does he really speak for you? senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising.

>> we're back. it's 8:41. samuel l. jackson is one of the hardest working actors in hollywood with more than 100 movies under his belt. his latest starring role, the villain in "miss peregrine's home for peculiar children." >> how do you do? >> i saw you at your grandfather's. i was hoping to but my traveling companion got to him before me.

>> samuel l. jackson, good morning. we see your white eyes. if we didn't know you were the villain, the white eyes give it away. >> sharp teeth too. >> exactly. do those hurt? >> which ones? >> the contacts? >> the contacts are -- after the third hour they're a little irritable. >> and obviously the bad guy here. he's not good. he just had funny moments. >> i worked very hard at conveying his humanity. humanity that's left. he still has interesting sense of humor. he's trying to make the best of a bad situation. >> this is a book that so many people love. set up the premise here. you're the bad guy. we've got a little boy. we've got peculiar children. >> i'm a bad guy because i'm seeking immortality and trying to conduct an experiment that

will bring me and my colleagues who are victims of this bad experiment back to humanity along with immortality. in order to achieve immortality, we need to capture a group of people that protect children who are very peculiar. >> which means superpowers. >> they don't have superpowers necessarily. some of them are just odd. like they have a mouth in the back of their head to eat or one girl is unusually strong and one kid can make things grow and one kid can reanimate things. one kid is invisible. just that. >> do you like being the good guy or the bad guy? you played both throughout your career. >> i like bad guys. we know they're bad people so you try to find things that

order about them to convey a quality for the audience. they end up hating them but can relate to them in a specific way or take the ride with that particular character opposed to the good guy. >> you like that complicated soul thing. >> you were at the opening of the national african-american museum. you're a founding donor. what was that moment like? it looked incredible. >> it's great to know -- i've been on this planet 68 years now. so i studied a lot of history. i had to make an effort to study mine and to know that there's a place that anyone can go to see what my journey has been in this particular country and what my people's contribution has been. it's worthwhile and satisfying for someone coming from where i came from. >> incredible. from sublime to ridiculous, you were posting a selfie on instagram. i looked at your instagram

account. you're a parorolific poster but your photos have a style to them. down a little bit. we want to see you. >> it's about the thing i take a photograph of. i stick my eye in there so people know that i'm taking the photograph and not someone else managing my account. so many celebrities have people that manage their accounts. >> can i stick my eye in yourselfy real quick? >> why stick the eye in the selfie? >> i'm going to take a photo of you but it will be my eye and everyone will know i took it. that's how i work it. sit there. i'll see if i can work my magic. >> i like that you do your own thing. it's like doing your own stunts. there you are. done and done. thank you so much.

"miss peregrine's home for peculiar children" hits theaters this friday. don't forget to post it to your 10 trillion followers. >> and mandy moore is here. first, this is "today" on nbc. approve this message. i'd look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. she's a slob. she ate like a pig. a person who's flat chested is very hard to be a 10. does she have a good body? no. does she have a fat [expletive]? absolutely. do you treat women with respect? i can't say that either.

amazingly samuel l. jackson turned into mandy moore entertaining us as an actress and singer for 17 years now. starring as a wife and mother in nbc's hit new show "this is us." more than 10 million people watched last week's premiere. we have a sneak peek at tonight's episode. >> do you need me to show you where the coffee is? >> i know where the coffee is. >> okay. good. >> do you need me to show you where my mouth is. >> nope. i know where it is. >> oh. good. >> now that we got that

straight. mandy, nice to see you. good morning. how are you doing? >> i'm well. how are you? >> you need to pay hoda kotb. hoda kotb has been running around talking about this show for a couple weeks now because she got a sneak peek at it. she's your biggest fan. >> thanks, hoda. >> she has gone crazy on this. how did it feel to wake up the morning after the premiere and see the numbers? >> really exciting. we're all so proud to be part of the show. i'm proud to represent for what i believe is a remarkable cast of actors. we're psyched that it's finally out there and we don't have to hold the secret anymore of what the show is really about. >> let's talk about that. it's tough in a 15-second clip to get a sense. how do you describe this? >> well now it's a show about family. before we had to talk about a connection between birthdays which is true but it's about family and how we're raised affects people as adults and

choices we make moving forward. >> i don't think a spoiler alert applies when the show has been out with a week. episode one ends with a big twist. is that something that we can expect week to week? >> there will be twists occasionally. there's a little bit of a reveal at the end of this episode tonight that airs. it's not a show that sort of relies on that. the writing is elevated. >> a little bit of the skin comes off each week. i mentioned you have been entertaining people since -- >> since i was 15. >> 17 years. does it feel better now? >> yes. >> you didn't let me ask the question. i'll tell you what i was thinking. when you're young and wide eyed and it's kind of almost child star, it may not mean as much to you as it does right now. >> that's precisely it. i think i'm so much more comfortable in my skin now and the life that i led, i am aware and appreciative of everything.

i don't take any of it for granted. i don't think i did before either. when that machine is rolling and that ball is rolling, it's hard to really take stock of what's happening. >> when it comes to a halt all of a sudden and picks back up, that's when you're part of the workforce my dad used to say to me. >> i like that. >> mandy moore, great to have you here. you can catch "this is us" tonight at 10:00, 9:00 central here on nbc after "the voice." up next, one of the biggest soccer stars on the planet, carli lloyd, is here. first, this is "today" on nbc. does pat toomey speak for you? i also want to thank the nra for it's, uh, strong support for my campaign. pat toomey: he opposes an assault weapons ban and got an "a" rating from the nra. "i have had a perfect record with the nra." and on women's health? "i would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion, and i would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey: does he really speak for you?

senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. c'mohappy birthday! i survived a heart attack. i'm doing all i can to keep from having another one. and i'm taking brilinta. for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin. no more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. or dying from one. it worked better than plavix. >>don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. >>talk to your doctor about brilinta. i'm doing all i can. that includes brilinta.

if you can't afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. we are back with soccer superstar carli lloyd. >> she's scored winning goals for team usa in both the 2008 and 2012 olympics helping her team take home back-to-back golds and she followed that up with a hat trick in the 2015 women's world cup final bringing the title back to the u.s. for the first time since 1999. >> now a new book called "when nobody was watching." good morning. so good to see you. so interesting. we reel off your stats. two gold medals. world cup. amazing career. the book as title suggests, it's about a hard fought journey. what do you mean by that? >> it is. you know, i don't think i would want it any other way. i had to call crawl my way to

the top. it's about perseverance and obstacles that came my way. it's not truly just a soccer story. it can inspire so many people that want to be great, you know. they can do it if they put their mind to it. >> you wonder if some people are just born great. when you read about what your coach and you quoted him in the book. he told you, "mentally you are not weak, your character was poor. you make excuses and find people to blame." that somehow motivated you to turn the beat around, didn't it? >> i think there was no question about my dedication at an early age. i loved the game of soccer. i needed someone to help navigate me through life and through obstacles. i respected him. when i first met him, he was straight up with me. >> you weren't mad when he said that to you? >> i was mad when i had to run for 12 minutes.

i took in everything that he said. i was like a sponge and just listened to him. worked really hard. >> you talk a lot about soccer culture. you said early on, i don't think you used the word click, but it could be a girls club. what do you mean by that? >> i think when you get a bunch of high level athletes, females, in a room together, 20 of them as i'm sure you guys know, we can be drama at times. i think that's just the competition within the room. you know, the team is awesome. it wouldn't be this magnificent team if we weren't all like that. there were some challenging times and some moments where i was shedding tears in my hotel room. i look back and it was great. i wouldn't change a thing. >> like you said, the book isn't only about soccer. it's about family and things like that. you say in the book you've had a strained relationship with your family since the beijing olympics. is it a little weird to have written about it and know that people are paging through and reading kind of these details about your life?

>> absolutely. i think when i first was preparing to write this book, i wasn't going to include this. my family situation. in discussing things with my writer, it is part of my journey. i think to so many other people whether you're a parent reading it or a kid reading it, they can hopefully learn from it. it is part of the journey. i had to include good tuesday morning just before 8:00. bill henley, how does it look? >> clouds are thinning out. we'll be in for a good deal of sunshine after a rainy start this morning. showers ended in philadelphia. rain at the shore. the heavy stuff, the steady rainfall is offshore. it's drying out nicely in delaware. it's just a waiting game for the

sunshine. that will warm temperatures from the low 60s in the lehigh valley, middle 60s in delaware to middle 70s this afternoon. >> let's get a check on the roads. >> we are in burlington, seeing along route 38 on the westbound side an accident. this is an overturned truck and it's causing a blockage in the left lane. route 38 at mt. laurel road. traffic is crawling to get by on 95. we are seeing lots of delays. vice president joe biden will be at drexel university at 11:00 for a national voter registration day event campaigning for hillary clinton. the event is open to the public. we should learn today about new plans to improve the commute along the schuylkill between king of prussia and philadelphia. pen-dot will announce their plans. >> today is the day drivers can

start crossing the walnut lane bridge again. the bridge closed in april for reconstruction. commuters have been dealing with traffic delays for months. pen-dot plans to reopen the bridge at noon today. traffic will no longer be redirected to lincoln drive. we'll have another update in 25 minutes. when pat toomey went to washington, he didn't stop...

working for wall street. toomey's plan would risk social security on the stock market, lining bankers' pockets with fees from our benefits that... could total billions, even if the market crashes, and seniors lose everything. katie mcginty is working for us. a mother of three, and ninth of ten kids, mcginty knows what matters. she'll fight for equal pay, affordable college, and... she'll always protect social security. dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising.

this morning on "today's take," slow cooker secrets revealed. the tricks and shortcuts that will change your life. >> then, find out how yoko ono is honoring the beatles legacy. >> from nbc news, 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 tuesday morning, september 27th. right after the big debate. billy bush, al and tamron? did it deliver as a spectacle. we thought there would be

fireworks between the two. i would say yes on that front. >> let me tell you just my social media alone, everyone seemed to be engaged. we'll see what ratings are. i think policy-wise lacking on both sides. if hillary clinton's goal was to make temperament the a-1 topic of the morning, that seems to be the a-1 topic, al. >> i think so. i think the fact that you go and you look. temperament when that happened, that moment. check it out. it's amazing. >> i have much better judgment than she does. there's no question about that. i also have a much better temperament than she has. you know. i have a much better -- i think my strongest asset maybe by far is my temperament. i have a winning tif inning tem. i know how to win. there's a person with a temperament that's got a problem. >> secretary clinton? >> whoo. okay. >> that was kind of the moment.

the whoo and the shimmy. >> optics go. you have sniffles on his side and then you have the shoulder shimmy on her side. >> on another network he said he didn't have the sniffles and it was a bad microphone. >> that's what we call the spin in this business. this morning donald trump was on "fox & friends" said there was something wrong with his mike. if you look at social media and any other objective viewers, no one noticed an audio problem at home. there are some people who said there was an issue for a few minutes in the auditorium but nothing that was broadcast to potentially 100 million people. >> it's funny. the last time we as a family, nick, deborah, leila, myself, sat there and watched tv together was the super bowl. >> wow. >> did it deliver? what did the kids think? >> the kids -- nick fell asleep.

>> nick is, like, i'm out. >> i'm staying up. i'm staying up -- >> 90 minutes is a long time without any commercial breaks. the question to billy's point, there will be many things to measure. ratings but also the most important did either of them move the polls. did either of the candidates pull in even 1%, 2% of those still undecided? or maybe those who are supporting gary johnson or jill stein? did they move the meter? >> we've been wrong. in the hallways here on msnbc, the policy wonks and the analysts have been wrong every step of the way. most people have said to me this morning they don't think donald trump hurt himself at all with the people who are already going to vote for him. your point. i think as i saw it, she -- you got what you got. she overprepared. she was totally prepared. he did not prepare at all and he wung it and it was evidence in the debate.

you're going to elect somebody. one is going to overprepare and one is going to wing it. >> there were some who said she overprepared and used that as a negative. i said last night on twitter was this intellect versus gut? if you have a kid doing homework while watching the debate, would you want your child going in for a test tomorrow morning and going for their gut or prepare? which is important to you? >> she made that point. i believe donald is insulting me or criticizing me for preparing. yes, i did prepare. and just like i'm preparing for president. there were a number of big moments. take a look. >> look at all of these places where so many of their jobs and their companies are just leaving. they're gone. hillary, i just ask you this. you've been doing this for 30 years. why are you just thinking about these solutions right now? for 30 years you've been doing it and now you're just starting

to think of solutions. i will bring -- skuexcuse me. i will bring back jobs. you can't bring back jobs. >> i have thought about this quite a bit. >> for 30 years. she doesn't have the look. she doesn't have the stamina. i don't believe she does have the stamina. >> well, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease-fire, a release of dissidents and opening of new opportunities and nations around the world, or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina. >> i just left detroit. i just left philadelphia. i just -- you know, you've seen me. i've been all over the place. you decided to stay home. and that's okay. i will tell you, i've been all over. i met some of the greatest people i'll ever meet within these communities, and they are very, very upset with what their

politicians have told them and what their politicians have done. >> i think donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. and, yes, i did. you know what else i prepared for? i prepared to be president. and i think that's a good thing. >> she locked eyes with him on that delivery. we were talking earlier about whether it's fair to focus in on the sniffing or the drinking of the water or what some people saw as a smirk. 40 years later we're talking about nixon not wearing makeup with kennedy. it's optics. when people get this we shouldn't talk about the body language, we are still talking about the impact that it had physically with nixon and kennedy. >> i saw the lincoln/douglas debate. >> you moderated it. >> unbelievable. they still say he should have shaved. he didn't. >> we spoke earlier, you and i, about maybe the first half hour donald was fairly strong and then it seemed to run out of

stamina or run out of gas the next 60 minutes was all about hillary. i'm wondering did a bunch of guys watch the first 30 minutes and say he's doing okay and i'm going to watch football and woke up today saying i thought he was great. >> you don't know what's going to happen with donald trump, which is why the ratings and cable news especially were so high when we would take his speeches. this is one of those rare moments that like leaving the football game at the end and you think your team is up and then you're running back from the parking lot. >> that was really the first quarter. >> she was ready. she was ready. the campaign as a team was ready ten minutes after the debate released this whole thing about miss universe, miss piggy. >> here's a little factoid for you. the number one tweeted thing of the night or retweeted, donald trump denied that he ever called climate change a hoax. of course in this age you have

to watch what you tweet out. the number one tweeted thing was a tweet where he called climate change a hoax. that was the number one tweet. >> up next, they were once the hottest couple in hollywood. we're not talking about brad and angeli angelina. we're not talking about donald and hillary kiefer and julia until julia called off the wedding at the last minute but the reason was courageous according to kiefer. >> a lot of people don't realize or remember they were together. >> i you live a portable life. new dannon oikos nonfat yogurt drink fits right in it.

gordon steps up and hits a home run. he went to his lefty. ripped one over the fence. balling tears as he runs around the plate right there. so much tragedy in this. jose was expecting a child with his girlfriend. a boating accident early sunday morning. he was on the cusp of a giant contract. one of the biggest. probably the biggest in major league baseball. >> arguably many people agreed on a hall of fame track. >> for sure. and marlins beat mets 7-3. mets announcers were in tears. it was just a small little moment there hitting the home run and letting the crowd come together. that was emotional. all going on while the debate was happening. >> the manager of the team said over the weekend just talked about what a great guy he is and all of the things that he -- these milestones in life he'll miss. he's 24 years old. a father as you mentioned to be. our thoughts and prayers are with that team and his family obviously. >> for sure. now, remember, it was 1990 on

the set of flat liners where kiefer sutherland and julia roberts met and fell in love and on the fast track to marry in 1991 head over heels for each other. kiefer tells "people" she was arguably the most famous woman in the world and this wedding was supposed to be something between the two of us. it became so big and took courage to say i can't do this. so julia dropped him right there. i think that's tough. everyone is into the -- you get swept up in it. >> j. lo talks about that with men affleck when they were engaged how this becomes so big and even though you're a celebrity, you're still a couple trying to figure this out. it becomes overwhelming. >> you don't want to upset the whole world and you know you're going into the g gallos of

marriage. >> one is maybe longer than the other. >> she went onto marry lyle who is a very sexy man. mark anthony. >> both terrific singers. lyle lovett. >> i remember when they became engaged. >> i can tell you get agitated. your man spread -- you're pressing against my leg right now. it's like a reverse thigh master. >> because of my man spread, they put in "today's take." >> women at home couldn't take it anymore. they were, like, billy's man spread, you're drawing us in. >> sorry about that. >> censorship right here. ladies and gentlemen, this is called nbc censorship. >> as they said in "seinfeld," just a thin layer between you and me. >> what's happening with this wheel of yours?
