7:00 am
throughout the morning. get realtime news, weather and traffic on the nbc 10 app. >> that will do it for us. the "today" show is next. have a good one. good morning. race to the bottom? donald trump and hillary clinton don't even bother to shake hands before facing off in a debate filled with accusations and insults. trump's remarks about groping women caught on tape center stage. >> this was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. >> i think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is. >> trump goes for the jugular inviting women who accused bill clinton of sexual conduct into the audience after a pre-debate foe low op. >> if you look at bill clinton,
7:01 am
far worse. mine with records and his was action. >> 29 days to go. the election deeper in the muck than ever. how low can it go? we'll ask the campaign managers from both sides "today," monday, on the 10th, 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 monday morning. matt start the morning off. lester, you are back to your roots. much more caffeine in the morning. glad to have you with us. it is a big morning, the second presidential debate. it is our top story, of course. it was testy from the start. donald trump on offense for more than 90 minutes after a bad weekend for his campaign launching personal attacks and threats of his rival hillary clinton. we'll talk to both of the campaign managers in a moment. but first, nbc's hallie jackson has it all covered. good morning. >> reporter: hey there, good morning. this morning, both candidates are getting ready to head back
7:02 am
out on the campaign trail after a night that got contentious, to say the least. some political observers pointing to a new low in this already-rough race. the tone set from the very start. >> reporter: bitter from the beginning. no handshakes for the nominees. almost immediately, donald trump facing questions about the vulgar audio that's thrown his campaign into crisis. >> you bragged that you have sexually assaulted women. do you understand that? >> no, i didn't say that at all. i don't think you understood what was said. this was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i apologized to my family. i apologized to the american people. >> reporter: that audio, part of a 2005 conversation with billy bush during an "access hollywood" taping, a program produced by nbc universal. >> when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do everything. >> whatever you want. >> grab them by the [ bleep ]. >> i'm very embarrassed by it, i hate it, but it is locker room talk, and it is one of those things. i will not the hell out of isis. >> reporter: watching from the
7:03 am
audience, trump's surprise guests, apparently intended to rattle hillary clinton. several women who have accused her husband of sexual misconduct over the years, and on stage, trump went there. >> bill clinton was abusive to women. hillary clinton attacked those same women. and attacked them viciously. four of them here tonight. >> reporter: nbc news has learned the original plan calls for the women to sit in trump's family box facing the former president. but debate officials refused to allow it, even threatening to get security involved. before the town hall began, the women joining trump for what was originally billed as a prep session photo-op. >> okay, donald. i know you're into big diversion tonight. anything to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it is exploding and the way republicans are leaving you. >> reporter: at times, trump loomed over his rival's shoulder, both circling the stage with clinton on defense on her e-mails. >> obviously, if i were to do it over again, i would not. i'm not making any excuses.
7:04 am
it was a mistake and i am very sorry about that. >> reporter: trump, all but admitting he avoided paying federal income tax, using a loophole. >> of course i do. of course i do. and so do all of her donors, or most of her donors. >> reporter: threat ening clintn with prison time if elected. >> if i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. >> it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. >> because you'd be in jail. >> reporter: the debate ended on a surprisingly polite note. >> would either of you name one positive thing that you respect in one another? >> reporter: a brief break from the back and forth. >> i respect his children. >> she doesn't quit. she doesn't give up. i respect that. >> reporter: finally, the gloves came off for a handshake.
7:05 am
and this morning, we are looking at a new cnn/orc snap poll of voters showing that many believe hillary clinton won the debate 57%-34% for donald trump. but she didn't land as many blows as the first presidential debate. donald trump, meanwhile, having a performance to rally his base, but he needs to expand his appeal if he has a shot at coming back in november. >> hallie jackson, thank you so much. we are joining now by kellyanne conway, donald trump's campaign manager. good morning, thanks for being with up. it was a late night. i know. >> yes, thank you. >> let me start by asking about this scenario that it sounds like the trump campaign was trying to get going at the beginning of the debate where the four clinton -- bill clinton accusers would come face to face with bill clinton himself. number one, was that the plan? and number two, what was the hope there? what was the campaign hoping to accomplish? >> i have to correct the reporting. there was not a family box.
7:06 am
it was called v.i.p. and there were four seats allotted to each of the two candidates. that's why you saw the clinton family in 3 of the 4 seats. they apparently had invited senator claire mccaskill to sit there. she is not a member of their family. she was a v.i.p. for them. and so members of our campaign decided there were four v.i.p.s, it would be these four women. you can call them accusers, but in the case of paul la jones, she received over $800,000 from bill clinton to settle a sexual harassment suit in 19. a man who raped one of the young girls was represented by hillary rodham clinton. >> fair enough. those allegations are out there and people can look into them. i guess the question is, for donald trump who is actually on the ticket, and bill clinton who is not, how does bill clinton's alleged wrongdoing absolve donald trump of what he's accused of in light of those tapes of "access hollywood"?
7:07 am
how does that fix what people are upset about yutrump for? >> let's not conflate issues. this has to do with hillary clinton and how she shames and blames the women in bill clinton's life. these women came around and said, look at the modus operandi that hillary clinton deployed against these women. in the case of kathy shelton, that has nothing to do with bill clinton. >> just to zero in on it, even if that were true -- people can make their own decisions about whether or not it is -- i guess the question is, it's donald trump who answer to answer for himself. >> and he did that. you just played the clip. you just played the clip, savannah. respectfully, you just played the clip of him saying i have apologized to my family and the american people. then he talked about the difference between words and actions and the way hillary clinton treated these women. >> a lot of republicans thought he would be more contrite and
7:08 am
offer a more heart-felt apology. he wrote off this tape essentially to "locker room talk." is that the end of it? is that all we're going to hear from mr. trump on this issue? >> that is not all he said. that would be a terrible misrepresentation of the one minute and 32 seconds of video that he came out -- >> he kept coming back to the point, it was locker room talk. so my question is, is that all he really has to say? >> no. what he has to say was that it was embarrassing, it was wrong. he apologized for it, and he said it did not represent who he is. in the video posted on friday night, his immediate response, lester, which was buttressed by last night's apology and explanation, he said there is a difference between words and actions, and many americans agree. >> leslie, was this a good night for american politics? >> i think it was a good night for democracy in this way, they really have a contrast, they really have a choice of two candidates this election cycle next month. let's be very clear, donald trump made the case against
7:09 am
hillary clinton over her deleted e-mails. she was a u.s. senator, secretary of state, he took her to task on syria, on iraq, on benghazi, on the fact into she's gotten hundreds and hundreds of entries from ambassador steven ns and othestevens and others about getting more security in benghazi. there were plenty of issues to hear in that 90 minutes. >> we're out of time. kellyanne conway with the trump campaign, thanks very much. now rob by mook, hillary clinton's campaign manager. i want to ask you about the start of the debate. there was no handshake. they came out, went to their respective chairs. was that by design? was there a discussion ahead of time? >> i don't know that there was any plan either way for the candidates. i think they just came on stage and starting the debate. >> robby, to no one's surprise, donald trump brought up the accusers, the bill clinton accusers, allegations of sexual
7:10 am
molestation, even rape. but mrs. clinton, secretary clinton, didn't address that at all. she went into other areas. why not? >> you know, lester, hillary came to this debate to talk about the issues, to talk about the policies and plans that she has that are going to make a difference in people's lives. donald trump came to try to rescue his spiraling campaign. he wanted to throw a lot of mud, throw hillary off her game, and make this campaign about something else and someone else. unfortunately, he doubled down on his non-apology for what he said in that video that came out last friday. he didn't even seem to take the matter very seriously. he called it locker room talk. didn't acknowledge the severity of the situation. and then he pulled a stunt where he brought those individuals in to do a facebook live event before the debate. hillary's steady, she's strong, she's not going to get thrown
7:11 am
off her game. that's what donald trump tried to do. >> but just to play devil's advocate, he's lobbing some serious allegations not only against her husband, who is not on the ticket, but against her for enabling or further victimizing some of these accusers. why would she just let that hang out there unanswered? because there might be voters who think, i guess there is no good answer. >> well, because voters don't want this to be what we're talking about. they want to talk about the issues. and this campaign is not about bill clinton. it's about hillary clinton. she's the one on the ballot with donald trump and what the voters are looking for is a president who's going to work hard on their behalf and make a difference in their lives. these accusations, you know, about her have been debunked. there's really no basis for them whatsoever. the fact checkers weighed in on that very clearly. as donald trump gets to talk about whatever he wants, that's his right. we're going to keep talking about the issues and the things that make a difference to voters. >> all right, clinton campaign
7:12 am
manager robby mook. thanks for being with us. chuck todd, nicolle wallace and steve kornacki, good morning, guys. where do we even start? chuck, i guess does this change anything about the race? >> oh, gosh. i mean i don't even want to look at it in conventional terms. i feel like in the light of day you want to see what did we see here? i mean this is not -- again, it wasn't a conventional moment of presidential debate politics. i think we will look on this debate as only going to be remembered for two things. the trump campaign's decision to bring bill clinton's accusers and then create this diversion on the video -- on the lewd video, and him saying during the debate he wants to put his opponent in jail. that's will be the take-away. what part of that is helpful to the trump campaign? i don't have any idea. i don't think it is. the vice grip that the rest of the republican party is even in morning is even tighter than it
7:13 am
was before the debate started. >> if you are one of those republicans who hasn't decided yet on the issue of this "access hollywood" tape. you see this performance where he kind of hung in there. does it change anything? >> even inside trump tower over the weekend, there was a divide over how much contrition to show. people argued for donald trump to do an interview on saturday, a big interview, so that he could appear more remorseful. the people that'nt with wanted that -- even jeff sessions, one of his top surrogates talking about contrition before the debate, i don't even think they saw that. what they saw was maybe what they were attracted to the at beginning of the gop primary. they saw his scrappyness. they saw him prosecute a case against the clintons in the '90s. i don't know how that will affect the 2016 presidential but they saw trump was someone for who he is, for someone who never backs down. but the mission to win the
7:14 am
election is to win over the people who are not yet for you and i don't think he won over one single person who is not yet for him. >> over the weekend we saw this laundry list of republicans who came out and said they either condemn the remarks and some actually rescinded endorsements. do you think trump's performance stopped the bleeding in terms of republicans jumping ship? >> i suspect it mostly did. the story of the campaign really has been a story of two different audiences. take first of all the audience that got the republican nomination for donald trump in the first place. the republican base. i think there is evidence they were pleased by what they heard last night. a lot of them have been waiting -- let's be honest -- two decades for somebody to go toe-to-toe with a clinton and bring up some of the things he brought up last night. that exerts pressure on the average public office holder to take that attitude into mind before they go forward. since donald trump won the republican nomination, it is in the suburbs and it is more
7:15 am
particularly among suburban women. if you were a suburban female voter watching who had reservations about donald trump from the moment he became the republican nominee, did you hear anything in the way he addressed that tape, did you hear any contrition or any evidence that he's a different person than they've judged him to be. i don't think they heard that last night. did you see anything in the performance last night that would win them over? i think that's the problem. he can get back that republican base, he can be if striking distance, but the game is not to be in striking distance, it is to be ahead. i don't know how he did that last night. >> there is a lot more to talk about, including body language and some other things we'll chat about in the next half-hour with more of the crisis facing the republican party. noting one other thing, pending further review of the matter, nbc news has defended billy bush, the host of "today's" third hour, for his role in that conversation with donald trump. let's turn now to the remnants of mhurricane matthew and the storm's devastating effects on the south. a dire flooding emergency is playing out this morning,
7:16 am
thousands rescued in north carolina. damage in the billions. nbc news national correspondent miguel almaguer is in hard-hit rocky mount. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: lester, good morning. matthew's path of destruction came well inland swamping this area with a foot of water and powerful winds. today some homes under a foot of water and some are lucky to be alive. >> reporter: after a weekend of daring water rescues from the rooftops of homes, and cars, men, women, and children were pulled to safety by the thousands. seems matthew saved its devastating and deadliest punch in the end for the u.s., killing some 20 americans. nearly half of those in north carolina. >> just horrible. >> reporter: deborah alvez narrowly escaped the rising floodwaters. >> we just took everything we could grab and left. >> reporter: her neighbors were rescued on top of their home. at one point, a category 5
7:17 am
hurricane, matthew plowed through the caribbean killing hundreds in haiti, now turning to their faith as they bury their dead. after barreling towards the u.s. the storm surge swamped oceanside communities in florida. but over the weekend, matthew was strong enough to water log homes 100 miles inland. up to 1 million are still without power. many are still under mandatory evacuation. >> we were going to be out here for like another two weeks or so. >> reporter: with the magsive clea massive clean-up now under way, damage in four states could top $6 billion. but the threat isn't over. some swollen rivers could still rise 17 feet above flood stage. matthew, a slow-motion storm. but for some, it is still a slow motion disaster. during the height of the storm in this area, we are hold a woman clung to a tree for three hours before she was rescued.
7:18 am
they are still looking for the missing, and authorities are also keeping a close eye on local rivers and dams, worried that those, too, can topple. savannah, lester, matt and al. >> al is here with more on the storm. it certainly did pack a punch. >> we are talking about 13.6 trillion gallons of rain. i mean it was really unprecedented. now, as you can see, the weather at least has cleared out. but the flood threat has not, unfortunately. as you take a look, say for example in lumberton, the lumberton river, crested sunday at 24.4 feet. record, 20.5. it is still above record flood stage so it is going to take a while for that to go on. the deuce river in smithfield right now above their flood stage at 20 feet. at rocky mount where we saw miguel, 28.7 is the current
7:19 am
river level. they're well above their record flood stage. so that's going to take a little while for that to finally start to recede. the good news is for the next foreseeable number of days, they've got good weather. that's good news. unseasonably warm weather will start to slowly make its way to the east. we're going to get to your . good morning. i'm first alert meteorologist krystal klei. sunny and breezy conditions through your afternoon.
7:20 am

7:30 am
7:30 now, monday morning, 10th of october, 2016. we have a pretty fall morning in midtown manhattan. and a crowd out there. we'll gh oo out and say hello. as remnants of hurricane matthew head out to sea, the story has left behind historic flooding in the south, blamed for at least 19 deaths here in the u.s., and along north carolina's coast, historic flooding led to new evacuations and rescues overnight. donald trump and hillary clinton clashed hard in last night's second presidential debate. as expected, that leaked tape of trump making demeaning comments about women back in 2005 played a big role. >> that was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i am a person who has great
7:31 am
respect for people, for my family, for the people of this country. and certainly i'm not proud of it. >> he has said that the video doesn't represent who he is. but i think it's clear to any oneone who heard it, it represents exactly who he is. >> trump refused to release his federal tax returns. the issues including economy and health care and national security were discussed. today's campaign moment comes from last night's showdown. trump and clinton taking the stage, but without that customary handshake. instead, the candidates simply stood in front of the audience, paused for a moment, then headed to their spots on the stage. they did shake hands at the end of the debate. let's turn back to the growing fallout over trump's comments on that tape. take a look. these are the faces of dozens of republican lawmakers who came forward to denounce trump over the weekend. it has the party in turmoil with
7:32 am
just weeks to go until the election. nbc news national correspondent peter alexander has that part of the story for us. >> good morning. that's right, we want to show you a list of those republicans who have fiercely criticized trump. last night only complicates things within the party. trump's unleashing a long list of attacks against the clintons. on one hand it fires up his base, but it also deepens what's already an excruciating dilemma facing many vulnerable republicans who need their base but also need to win over more moderate republicans who were looking for contrition. for a gop in crisis, the question remains, did donald trump's latest debate performance put to rest panic within the party. a former rnc chair mid debate tweeting a mushroom cloud captioned, "gop at this moment." despite his defiance, trump is under siege for a growing army of leading republicans, denouncing his lewd 2005 remarks about women. many demanding the republican nominee step down.
7:33 am
>> usa! usa! >> reporter: it's now a divided party and on stage, a divided ticket. just a day after running mate mike pence refused to defend trump's comments about women, trump appearing to give pence the cold shoulder when asked about pence's conflicting policy on syria. >> he and i haven't spoken and i disagree. >> reporter: the two men speaking by phone post debate with pence on twitter publicly praising trump for a "big debate win," adding, "proud to stand with you." coming in to the night, pence was weighing his own political future after the 2005 leaked audio. a close friend telling nbc news he is struggling with this, he is a man of moral fiber. but sources say discussions so far, no talk of dropping off the ticket. the tensions between the two running mates mocked on "saturday night live." >> mike pence is a loser. i hate his guts. i call him puny pence. >> reporter: trump, true to form this weekend, lashing out at
7:34 am
republicans defecting from his campaign. calling themself righteous hypocrites. adding, watch their poll numbers at laeshgelections go down. heading into sunday night's debate, 70% of democrats think trump should end his campaign, compared to just 12% of republicans. house speaker paul ryan heckled by a wisconsin crowd saturday after uninviting trump from a rally that would have been their first campaign appearance together. "if trump withdrew from the race by its own rules, the rnc could tap pence or any other eligible citizen. but early voting ballots have already been printed in many states. still, trump insists he's not going anywhere, for now, leaving the gop locked in a civil war. so the bottom line, trump thrilled his base. he re-energized those within his campaign and he appears to have gotten his running mate mike pence off the sidelines. pence will campaign today for the trump/pence ticket in north
7:35 am
carolina. nbc news has learned the rnc has scheduled an evening conference call tonight with its members. they're still trying to chart their own way forward. >> peter, thanks very much. our panel is back. chu chuck, pick up where peter left off. a call to the rnc tonight. house leadership has a call for later this morning. where does this all stand? because it felt like the floodgates had opened over the weekend and all these republicans were jumping ship. now what is the message from the party elders to the rank and file? >> well, i think the party elders are going to say -- i think some of them are going to say this. don't mistaken last night and the fired-up base for assuming this is all passed. instead, they ought to view it as sort of the equivalent of walking -- going outside your house when you're hunkered dour and thinking all this has calmed down not realizing what's to come on the other day.
7:36 am
today, look at some of these people that have condemned but haven't pulled. >> u.s. senators. >> they have to make this decision today. if they don't pull today, they're guaranteeing that trump will be the final issue debated in their races. and is that going to cost them this crucial swing vote in the middle of it? i think that's what the republican party has to -- the decision they have to say to themselves today, can they afford that in these down-ballot races. >> we heard peter say "the base is fired up." >> this idea we talk about the base being fired up as a symptom of health is false. you're sick if your base isn't fired up 30 days out. you're fatal. both bases are always fired up 30 days out from an election. that makes up the bulk of the people that vote. it has nothing to do with winning. winning has to do with winning the argument at costco online, at the supermarket. it is about people who are
7:37 am
registered either as democrats or republicans but who wait until events and the news coverage and the final weeks of the campaign to make their decision and the news coverage in the final weeks of this campaign, we will not flush through the cycle about donald trump grabbing women by the "you-know-what." that will be out there every day. so this whole idea that the base being fired up is a symptom of health is baloney. >> talk to steve about there issue that chuck started to bring up which is a lot of republicans worry not just about losing the white house, but losing the senate and some are even worried about losing the house. i mean you look at these races, what's the situation? >> but the dilemma that everyone of these republican incumbents -- take richard burr in north carolina. it speaks to how divided and fractured the republican party is right now. if you're burr and you're in north carolina, you need two things if you're going to win this election. first, you need swing voters who are in the suburbs around rally. they're more culturely moderate, a lot of them are women. if you are thinking about donald trump's comments in that context, if you're burr, you are
7:38 am
thinking you've got to distance yourself from trump. you need those votes to win. but those votes are only worth something to you if you have the republican base, the traditional sort of native-born vote in north carolina. remember, donald trump won the north carolina republican primary this year. those are the voters who are gung ho about trump. if you say i can't in good conscience endorse this man, can they in good conscience endorse you. >> each piece is insufficient. so what you're saying is true. each piece is inadequate. so this is what people last night, in to the night, were talking about how the gop senate became a really less likely -- >> step back from the political calculus. today is a test of character for many republicans. you can make this political calculation all you want. can you -- can you stomach, can you defend this two years from now? three years from now.
7:39 am
got to ask yourself that. >> it will be an eventful day and an eventful campaign. now for another check of the weather, here is al. >> i like the fact that chuck made a weather analogy right off the top. >> you know me and my hurricanes. >> speaking of hurricanes, we've got a tropical storm out there in the atlantic. nicol lch nicolle, we are bringing this all together. 500 miles south of bermuda, 65-mile-per-hour winds, it is moving north at 7 and may cross over bermuda by tuesday morning as a category 2 storm. we'll continue to have to watch that. rest of the country, we have a wintry blast in the northern plains. it is going to make its way east. we've got chilly conditions here in the northeast. we'll look at that in just a bit. nice and sunny along the southern tier states. good news for folks recovering down from
7:40 am

7:46 am
he was asked about his past comments on women, how trump is able to win over this key demographic. at this debate here in st. louis, trump's showing and his surprises are likely to rally his base, but it is still a question of whether it will expand his appeal with women. facing a campaign in crisis over his lewd remarks about women, donald trump went after his opponent by attacking her husband. shortly before the debate, trump meeting with a group of women who have accused former president bill clinton of sexual misconduct. the women, whose accusations have been pub click for decades, appeared with trump at an unprecedented event billed at debate prep. later led in to the debate hall by trump advisor, former new york mayor rudy giuliani. clinton going after trump for comments revealed in a 2005 "access hollywood" video, a show produced by nbc news' parent company, nbc universal. >> he has said that the video doesn't represent who he is, but
7:47 am
i think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he is. >> reporter: trump fired back, again targeting her husband. >> if you look at bill clinton, far worse. mine are words and his was action. his was what he's done to women, there's never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that's been so abusive to women. >> reporter: among the women trump was referring to, paula jones who sued bill clinton for sexual harassment. the suit settled in 1998 for $850,000 and the provision clinton did not have to admit any wrongdoing. kathleen willie, a former white house volunteer aide who said clinton assaulted her during his first term. clinton denied that allegation. an independent prosecutor later found there was insufficient evidence to prove the claim. and juanita rod brick wbroderic accused clinton of waiping her while he was running for governor of arkansas in 1978.
7:48 am
clinton was never charged and denied the accusation. initially broderick filed an avenue saying there was no assault but later recanted. their presence at the debate seen as a political stunt and distraction by top clinton campaign officials. >> do you worry you are being used as a distraction by donald trump? >> absolutely not. >> why not? >> well, i think we have a message. don't think i'm a distraction. >> reporter: but trump's praise of the women conflicts with these comments from 1998 when he attacked paula jones. >> paula jones is a loser. but the fact is that she may be responsible for bringing down a president. >> reporter: trump's latest move comes after a catastrophic weekend for his campaign. on friday, an "access hollywood" tape from 2005 surfaced showing the businessman making lewd comments about women with nbc's billy bush. >> i got to use some tic tacs just in case i start kissing them. i'm attracted to beautiful women.
7:49 am
when you are a star they let you do it. grab them by the [ bleep ]. >> reporter: trump issued an apology, but many republican lawmakers are already jumping ship, fearing women voters, who make up most of the electorate, will do the same. our new nbc news/survey monkey online tracking poll shows that 2005 audio appears to have hurt trump with voters. before that news broke on friday, trump was at 55% among voters who believe he respects women not much or not at all. after that tape came out, the number jumping to 63%. >> hallie jackson, thank you so much. coming up, the big news that controversial olympic swimmer ♪ i'm like a sponge for this stuff. i can learn it. get it. sell it. i can do this job in my sleep better than some people can do awake. i just want to make sure this brain stays in hyperdrive. hey we hear you. that's why aarp created staying sharp. it's more than brain games.

it didn't take long. you see them coming out. >> i was on live msnbc yesterday at 4:00 from st. louis. we had been told right before the debate that off the top, the tape would come up and hillary clinton would be able to respond first. and here's that moment. >> you bragged that you have sexual assaulted women. do you understand that? >> no, i didn't say that at all. i don't think you understood what was said. this was locker room talk. i'm not proud of it. i apologized to my family. i apologized to the american people. yes, i'm very embarrassed by it. i hate it. but it is locker room talk and it's one of those things. >> just for the record though, are you saying that what you said on that bus 11 years ago,
9:02 am
that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent? >> i have great respect for women. nobody has more respect for women than i do. >> so form the record, you're saying you never did that. >> i said thinks that, frankly, you hear these things. they were said. i was embarrassed by it. >> according to the cnn/orc poll of debate watchers, clinton won the debate 57%-34%. less than the 62% that said she won the first debate, but, look, it is probably in the eye of the beholder. >> but conventional wisdom among the pundits who do this, that includes of course nicolle wallace who was on our program, mark halperin and others who have worked on campaigns, they believe that what we saw last night didn't move the needle. this was about shoring up the base at this point. we know that independents and those undecides still have four weeks to make that decision, although early voting is starting. but in reality, the overall view of that debate last night was that it may not have moved the
9:03 am
needle one way or the other. >> i think one of the things that -- i felt uncomfortable with. my son, nick, who's in -- he's in eighth grade. one of the assignments -- i'm sure a lot of kids across the country, their assignment was, as a social studies or current events project, watch the debate. and i felt badly that this is what they had to watch. especially for the first 10, 15 minutes. they didn't even shake hands. basic civility that's expected. didn't happen. and then, of course -- the topic matter for the first ten minutes or so was cringe worthy. >> the lack of a handshake did not bother me as much, given what i think we all agree is a very difficult moment in this country. what does it mean to be political. and your son's 14. i was walking in today, thinking about all of the kids watching the news coverage. i said this to you, i don't at this point believe anyone under
9:04 am
the age of 18 should watch cable news. i think there's -- >> but what does that say? i mean, look. growing up -- look, i'm a little older than you. but that was part of your current events homework. >> you get an assignment and you have to write -- >> the watch the debate. >> of course! >> your parents in every had to worry. i felt like you almost have to have a seven-second delay as parent to be able to have your kids watch it. >> maybe in the next four weeks or after november 8 there will be conversations that you can have about what we witnessed. whatever the country decides that day. we're still americans. we are still here to make this country a reflection of who we are, all of us. so i mean that's just -- i don't have children, and these are one of those times that i just look at patients and say, you're doing god's work every day because there are land mines out there that are no creation of your own that you have to deal
9:05 am

9:34 am
four decades. which is brilliant. did you have any idea that you would be still doing these? >> nobody did. i certainly didn't. it was difficult for me to get signed to a record deal in the early '80s because traditionally and historically, novelty music and parody music is the domain of one-hit wonders. people want somebody who's going to have a long career. that's the real irony, like a lot of the people that were big in the early '80s, aren't still around so much anymore. >> you've outlived most record executives. >> i'm a novelty dinosaur. >> i am looking at your -- doing michael jackson's dance moves. this is physical. this is not just you walking through with a few lyrics. >> i'm boneless boy. >> you had to learn some dance moves. >> well, it is conviction. i'm not a dancer, obviously. but it's the conviction i bring to it is what's funny, i think. >> weird al, so good to see you again. catch "milo murphy's law"

we're back now with "today food." farmers all across the country are harvesting their best fall produce. . so this week we're going to show you how to use all those amazing ingredients. here to get us started, jenny claiborne -- the vegan food blogger behind sweet potato soul. she's got two recipes, one sweet and one savory, that you can use making sweet potatoes. good to see you. >> good to see you again, too. >> i was so thrilled when i saw this. my dad, rest his soul, used to make cinnamon buns. there was nothing better than opening that door to our apartment and smelling those -- the smell of those cinnamon buns
9:49 am
baking. >> they have the best smell. >> but you have a secret ingredient. sweet potatoes. >> that's right. and these are vegan. we aren't going to use real eggs. we're going to use a flax egg. we've got vegan butter we're using. >> that's actually really good for you. >> very good for you. high in omega-3s and everything. it also helps to hold these together. the first thing i like to do is start with ground flax seeds here. just add some water to this. and this after you let it sit for a couple minutes will thicken up and will become an egg consistency. just like that. then over here we've got some earth balance which is vegan butter. doesn't really matter what brand. vegan butter around some soy milk. we just want to melt that together. that is going to go into our flour mixture. yes. and in addition to that, we're going to also add some water, of course it is very important to add your yeast because the yeast is going to help it to rise and
9:50 am
be chewy and be the right delicious flavor and texture. just throw that in there. exactly. and a little bit of sea salt. exactly. a little bit of sugar. and of course, you can't forget your vegan aid. flaxseed. >> what's the secret to making sure your dough rises? >> well, definitely you need to make sure that your liquid that goes is in warm enough with the yeast because it needs to be able to activate it. the sugar also has to be in there because that sugar is what feeds the yeast. then you've got to knead your dough. kneading the dough is what's going to help the gluten develop and it is going to be nice and chewy and the right texture. >> can you overknead? >> you can overknead. you don't want to go for too long. i do mine for about three to five minutes. >> remember, tamron, you can't be too kneady. >> can't be too kneady! >> you can need a lot of dough though. yeah. >> we're going to put this in
9:51 am
here and let it sit for about one hour. we're going to give it time to rise. it is going to double in size. that is what this is. it is doubled in size. now, while you are waiting for that to double, you can make the filling. for the filling we're going to use some brown sugar and some cinnamon. al, if you want, you can stir that up. another alternative to the brown sugar is you could use coconut sugar or you could mix them. coconut sugar is lower in glycemic. it's very tasty. >> does it taste like sugar, al? or like coconut sugar? >> it is a little different, right? >> yeah. >> mm, yeah. that's fantastic. >> keeping it real! he's honest. >> he's being honest. we're going to stick with the brown sugar. >> today is brown sugar today. >> what you've got to do is
9:52 am
after that dough is risen, you are going to lay it out on a nice flat surface. roll it flat just like your daddy did. all right? and of course, you probably did this also with your father. you got to paint that vegan butter on. >> what's in vegan butter? >> blend of oils. >> vegans. they make it out of vegans. >> no. >> oil, is it different like vegetable oil? >> it is nonhydrogenated. so it is different from margarine. supposed to be a little healthier. sprinkle that brown sugar on. of course we have pecans. i think it is really important to have the pecans in there for nice texture. also flavor. >> i'm going to roll that up, cut it up. >> yes. roll it very tightly. >> where does the sweet potato come in? >> we are going to make that for icing. add your powder sugar. gets a little messy. >> it will end up looking like this. then the glaze. >> how about you pour that on there. >> okay. >> oh, that looks amazing.
