here along the mighty mississippi in one of the fire boats, so we are on the mississippi, and monster monday became part of terrible tuesday because we didn't land here until about -- until about two hours ago, so we've taken one too many hits with the punchy stick but we're ready to go. >> which should make for a fun show. >> i was going to say that might have happened with you yesterday. let's start with our top story, the republicans running for president gearing up for the debate showtown in milwaukee tonight and all eight candidates have something to prove for the voters. we begin with national correspondent peter alexander. good morning to you. >> reporter: you said it. with only eight candidates on the main stage, four on the undercard and three on the sidelines, all together how will this go tonight? we expect to hear more from each candidates. among the biggest questions, will ben carson need to fend off attacks from donald trump, and how does jeb bush handle the

for the republicans tonight poses another crucial test. front-runner ben carson dismissing growing scrutiny over apparent discrepancies in his life story l.carson's rivals or even the debate moderators grill him tonight. his chief opponent donald trump is already teeing off, focusing on carson's description of his violent youth. >> this is the only election in history where you're better off if you stab somebody. what are we coming to. >> reporter: carson's business manager tells nbc news the controversy has lit a fire under the usually calm candidate. >> i think finally he had an epiphany in real life, that, look, i have got to be ready for these moments. bring it on. i'm ready to fight. >> reporter: with the economy in focus tonight, trump's challenge, to emphasize substance over style and show how his billionaire business savvy would translate to a trump presidency. marco rubio is gaining ground, but tonight can he put to rest questions about his spending habits while in the florida legislature?

tonight could offer a sequel to the last debate showdown between rubio and his former mentor jeb bush. >> someone has convinced you that attacking me will help you. >> reporter: tension between the two underscored by a "new york times" report out this morning that allies of bush are privately threatening a wave of scathing attacks on his former protege in the coming weeks. according to "the times" $100 million bush superpac right to rise has filmed a video of rubio as unelectable because of his hard line stance against abortion and his missed senate votes, all signs about how nervous they have become about the bush candidacy. analysts point out he can't afford another lackluster performance and on the trail he's got a new slogan jeb can fix it and he's showing a different side of his personality. >> the three questions, better than the moderated debate questions, just saying.

raucous debate on cnbc the moderators tonight from "the wall street journal" and fox business are promising this one will be a civil affair. fox's maria bartiromo telling the candidates that they should be prepared to answer any question, in her words, it's all fair game. matt and savannah. >> all right, peter, alexander in milwaukee. thank you. >> nicolle wallace is an msnbc analyst and former white house communications director for president george w. bush. steer karnaky is an msnbc host and political correspondent, folks, nice to see you both. ben carson is under fire and lashing out at the media saying he's being vetted harder than any other candidate has been. how will it affect his performance tonight? >> the question has to do with how doed moderators and fellow candidates respond after the criticism with what the debate format, gotcha questions and focusing on too much non-issues. does it give him an out whether it's a moderator or fellow

>> and donald trump who has lashed out of some of the inconsistencies and buy graphical data aside the other candidates are in a you have to position because they have reaped the benefits of attacking the media. if they attack carson on these stories they are doing for blaming what the media can do. >> and carson can say to them you are doing the bidding of the liberal media and that could be a devastating comeback for him. >> jeb bush, how many times have we sat here together saying jeb bush has to have a good night. interesting art call in the "new york times" saying jeb bush's superpac is ready to throw tens of millions of dollars at attacking marco rubio. does that say let the superpac do the dirty work, we won't see the bush versus rubio mano-a-mano because it backfired so badly in the last debate. >> listen, they do not spend any time in their campaign headquarters how to beat ben carson and donald trump. they spend all the time how to win that establishment lane, how to beat chris christie, governor kasich and marco rubio so their

strategic imperative is to top rubio, and at the moment rubio has the momentum coming out of three strong debate performances and feeling as though they have dodged a bullet in the press. >> you mentioned chris christie. had one of the best weeks of his campaign last week and yet he goes down to the undercard in tonight's debate. he's got to be disappointed by that, but might it not be an opportunity for him to dominate that debate, get a lot of camera time and break out in some way. >> exactly. and we've seen this before. carly fiorina in the first under card debate back in august, got such great reviews it vaulted her back to the main stage. christie needs to get back to the main stage so there is an established pathway. forget the national poll and look at new hampshire. he's moved up, quadrupled his support in new hampshire over the last two months with the town hall meetings. it was what john mccain once did. trying to follow that path. >> for better or worse in this cycle, debate moderators have really become part of the story line. if you're fox and you're hosting this debate tonight, fox business, how do you handle that? on the one hand you don't want

to subject yourself to the candidates going after you, going after the media, a proven winner for them but on the other hand you don't want to pull your punches. >> fox has a special place in the hearts of republicans so they go into it with a lot more goodwill with every one of the single men and women on the stage. megyn kelly and bret baier, subjected to the same kind of scrutiny that cnn has been and to some extent cnbc has been. i think they will play it straight. no signs that they plan to pull punches and go into it with a lot more trust from the campaign. >> guys, thanks very much. we'll be watching. federal appeals court has dealt a major new blow to president obama's plan to protect millions of people from being deport the. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams is following this story. pete, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. another legal setback for president obama's plan to shield up to 5 million people from deportation allowing people here illegally to stay if they have children who are citizens and

expanding that program to let young people stay who were brought here as children. by a vote of 2-1, a federal appeals court agreed with texas and 25 other states who claim the administration illegally tried to put this policy into policy without getting public comment first. the appeals court rejected the white house claim that the plan just shifts enforcement priorities. instead, the court said the heart of the plan would give benefits to people here illegally, including social security and qualification for work permits. texas says that would impose a big cost on the state, just for all the new driver's licenses it would have to issue. the administration can now appeal to the u.s. supreme court, and if it acts soon it would be in time north justices to take up this issue during the court's current term. savannah, matt. >> to be continued on that. pete williams, thank you. now to a security incident at miami international airport that forced evacuations, delayed more than 50 flights. heavily armed police had to be called in after a suspicious item was discovered at a security checkpoint. >> canine units combed the

not be made known to the employer or to the fbi which passes to the tsa. >> reporter: universal agreement, airport security could always get better. we should make this point, that while there have been criminal activities on board planes over the years and the tsa has made arrests, there's not been a successful domestic case of terrorism on or affecting a u.s. airliner on u.s. soil. the tsa is very proud of that, but it also makes a lot of people very nervous. guys, back to you. >> tom, a sobering story with so tom, thanks. and coming up, what you should be doing to brush your better night's sleep. >> and dylan is in the original room with a new twist on the raging couldn't vergtsy over starbucks holiday cups. and we'll check in with al

mississippi trial lawyer dickie scruggs who made a name for himself by taking on big tobacco. >> special correspondent tom brokaw is here with scruggs' remarkable story, a comeback that's really just now unfold willing. tom, good morning. >> reporter: dickie scruggs at one point had it all, a big airplane, a big how. he had the reputation that all mississipians envied and then he didn't, and here's what happened next. dick scruggs is be a ole miss football fanatic. and a popular presence at his alma mater. strolling through the legendary tailgate in the grove. >> looking good. >> well, so are you. >> reporter: holding court with family and friends in his sky box. scruggs treasures every game because for a time he wonder federal he'd ever be welcomed here again. once one of the most prominent trial lawyers in the world scruggs became famous and rich for his leading role in taking on big tobacco. his role in that case was

"insider" where russell crowe played whistleblower dr. jeffrey wigan. >> jail. >> possibly, yes. that's one of the possible consequences of you testifying here today. >> reporter: in the legal world were you a rock star. you took on big tobacco and you made a lot of money. did you create the dickie scruggs environment, and you thought i'm bulletproof. >> there was a great deal of hubris and arrogance involved in the way i behaved. i really got way too big for my britches, tom, and i deserved to be -- to take a fall from that. >> reporter: writer curtis wilke chronicled that fall. was there anybody in his heyday in the state of mississippi who was better known or larger than life than dickie scruggs? >> probably not. probably no one who had fiercer enemies and for that matter, you know, good friends. >> reporter: and those enemies turned out in force when scruggs found himself on the other side

of the law in a case against insurance companies after hurricane katrina. >> federal grand jury in mississippi accused him of hiring a lawyer to pay $40,000 in cash to bribe a state court judge. >> reporter: he fought those judges but eventually pleaded guilty in february 2009. his life as he knew it was over. he would serve six years in federal prison. so you go from the high flying world of dickie scruggs, private airplanes and a lot of money and you walk into a prison into an entirely different world. >> the sound of a steel door closing behind you has a certain finality to it that is both terrifying and sobering. >> reporter: but it was behind bars that scruggs would write his second act. scruggs began tutoring inmates working for their geds in a state where one-sixth of the population has dropped out of high school.

>> first in all the bad categories and i'm tired of hearing that and most mississipians are tired of hearing that and by teaching and watching these guys catch on it gave me a new sense of purpose. it gave me a second chance really. this is what keeps them in school, the library. >> reporter: now out of prison scruggs has founded second chance mississippi to raise money for adult education, make his mission a reality and criss-crossing the states. >> what type of credential do they get? >> reporter: talking to anyone who will hear him out. there's only about 10% of inmates that can read on a 12th great level and listening to student and educators at community colleges. >> can you improve your score the more you practice this. >> reporter: dick scruggs has borrowed from practicing law again but to many here that doesn't matter. pastor chris diggs offered ged tutoring at his church, and when he needed help scruggs stepped up. >> we did not have computers before but now we do because of dick scruggs and second chance.

for him to reach out to help a small african-american church showed me that there was still a lot of good left in him. >> reporter: it's a second chance to make a difference, something dick scruggs never thought he would get. by the way, he has some famous friends who are helping him with all this. went to ole miss, obviously, and he's still very popular there and archie manning is one of his close friends. manning family royalty in mississippi obviously, and he says that in mississippi if you don't have a high school education, chances are very good you'll go to jail. if you do have a high school education chances are pretty good you'll got to jail. wants to change all that. mississippi is last in everything when it comes to education, but he's determined to use his fame and what he's learned to change it. >> he can make a difference. tom. >> like to see a secondage. thank you, tom. let's check in with al. he's ready to cross off another state from his rokerthon journey. hey, al. >> hey, guys. we got out of wiener mobile and got ourselves a horse.
