welcome to "today" on this thursday morning. i love hearing about that hockey game. i think this takes it beyond beginner's luck. >> how many times have you told me watch out for this austin matthews guy, he's going to be a comer. >> he is from are the great state of arizona. the desert really produces another ice hockey great. >> we'll have more on that game in a little bit while. let us begin on this thursday morning with politics. let's get right to the state of the race. just 26 days to go until the election. at least fouren trump of improper behavior. including kissing and groping. the trump campaign denies the accusations. meanwhile, a new bloomberg politics poll out just this morning shows hillary clinton now with a nine-point lead in the critical state of pennsylvania. 51%-42%. >> and for a third straight day, trump campaigns in florida before heading to ohio this afternoon. hillary clinton is off the trail, but the obamas will be campaigning for her.

>> we've got it all covered this morning. our decision 2016 team is in place. let us start with nbc's hallie jackson. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, savannah. good morning. for days, donald trump has said that vulgar 2005 audio was locker room talk, words, not actions. that's now being disputed by the women coming forward. allegations trump and his campaign strongly deny. overnight, a flood of new allegations, multiple women who say donald trump touched or kissed them inappropriately. >> he was like an octopus. it was like he had six arms. he was all over the place. >> reporter: jessica leeds tells "the new york times" that more than three decades ago, she sat next to trump, a stranger on a flight, when he began groping her. >> when he started putting his hand up my skirt, and that was it. that was it.

>> reporter: rachel crooks tells the "times" in 2005 when she was 22, she introduced herself to the businessman at trump tower. instead of a handshake, he kissed her. there is natasha stoynoff, writer for "people" magazine, also visiting mar-a-lago, a pregnant melania upstairs, donald trump inviting her into a room downstairs. i turned around and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and tong do tongue down my throat. nbc news has not independently verified these allegations against trump. all of the women going public after sunday night's debate when trump was pressed about his lewd comments during a 2005 "access hollywood" taping, a show owned by nbc universal. >> just for the record though, are you saying that what you said on that bus 11 years ago, that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent? >> i have great respect for

women than i do. and women have respect for me. and i will tell you -- >> have you done those things? >> no, i have not. >> reporter: the trump campaign vigorously denying new allegations. saying, "for "the new york times" to launch a completely false, coordinated character assassination against mr. trump on a topic like this is dangerous. to reach back decades in an attempt to smear mr. trump tr trivializes sexual assault and sets a new low for where the media is willing to go in its effort to control this election. >> why wasn't this reported at the time? >> reporter: the women's new allegations building on others. in an exclusive interview with nbc news, temple taggert, 1997's must utah, recalls meeting trump at for the first time at the

to me, embraced me and gave me a kiss on the looks. i remember being shocked. >> reporter: taggert tells nbc she didn't consider it an assault, just awkward. but she became upset when she heard that vulgar audio of trump emerged friday. >> i don't want to get emotional, but, yeah, it's really hard because you think of sending your little daughter out there -- sorry -- with men like that, that think like that. >> reporter: despite photos of trump and taggert together, trump tells nbc, "i don't know i don't even know who she is." adding, "i emphatically deny this ridiculous claim." the trump campaign is now demanding a retraction of that "new york times" article pointing to the timing of its publ gags ju publication just weeks before election day. lawyers now threatening more potential action with one senior campaign aide telling nbc they're drafting a "big lawsuit"

they call lies. >> coming up, we'll hear from the actress at the center of the 2005 hot mike moment. >> nicolle wallace and steve kornacki, good morning to both of you. the last week we sat here on a number of occasions. you said that that "access hollywood" tape might be the low, might be bottom, might be the final straw. is this the final, final straw in this campaign? >> i think i should stop saying final. but i think that what seen before -- not just in politics, but as a participant in any of these conversations -- is that a man comes out and confesses to sexual aggression. then women come out and detail sexual aggression. then the mat threatens to sue the women and the people who report on that. so i think he is in a real pickle with voters. he was the first one to describe his own sexual aggression, his own pattern of kissing before

anyone with kids knows that no means no. you teach children to talk about these things. he described sexual aggression without consent, without conversation. all of these stories, what they all have in common is sexual aggression without any conversation. >> let's be devil's advocate for a moment. of course, these are allegations. >> they're innocent until proven guilty. >> and he has denied them. first of all, the question is how trump defends them. if you're fending off sexual allegations in the final month of a campaign, it is a whole other tape came out and now people are just following that script and saying, oh, yeah, that's what happened to me. i can see the flip side of the argument as well which is when he sat there and said i never did this. some women said, enough, i'm coming out -- yes, you did. >> yeah, he can say that. of course, the only thing is, you just had that statement from the trump campaign saying what are you doing, you're reaching back 10, 20 years for allegations here. well, that's also part of the trump strategy right now when it

clinton. 10, 20, 30 years ago and trying to implicate hillary clinton in that. so it also sort of takes the teeth a little bit out of the strategy that the trump campaign has been using to deflect some of this stuff. >> how does hillary clinton, how does the campaign deal with this? very, very carefully? >> very, very carefully. you know, i looked at where they're sort of manufacturing their money around. they're reaching into states like georgia and arizona. politically speaking, they're very much on the offense. but i think t that's about destroying lives and about the potential, if the allegations are true, that just transcends politics. you just have to look quickly at how donald trump goes to war. there is no pleasure in a victim of potential or alleged abuse or harassment coming out and going to war with donald trump. he's not some sort of soldier that fights fire with fire. he is a suicide bomber. i think you really have to give these women, at least until more

they didn't willingly step into a political fray. >> a lot for them to take on by becoming public and putting their names out there. there is no question about it. we have to look at this through the lens of politics. real quick, steve, do you see the same dynamic in play that we've seen from the beginning with donald trump, which is his true believers and his supporters just really don't care and are not going to believe these allegations. >> yeah. i think there is also a lot of anger at the media among his core supporters. here's the problem for trump. even if this just what both sides think of him, he's behind. the people he needs to win over, they're really suburban women. i think they're the ones who might be most affected by a story like this. >> steve, thank you so much. appreciate it. meanwhile, the clinton campaign is hitting trump hard over these latest accusations. even as it faces new trouble of its own. nbc's kristen welker is in las vegas with more on that. kristin, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. secretary clinton will spend the

morning, an endorsement from "the washington post" which writes she has the potential to be a great president and calling donald trump "dreadful." all this comes as her campaign is taking sharp new aim at the latest controversy enveloping donald trump. hillary clinton hitting her stride and hitting donald trump before a fired-up crowd in las vegas wednesday night. >> his campaign has said today that he's going to, and i quote, run a whatever that means. that's how desperate they are. that's all they have left. >> reporter: while she didn't directly mention the new allegations leveled against trump, she did slam him for his alleged treatment of women. >> you know, this latest incident about, you know, how he treats women. well, he's doubled down. he doubled down on his excuse that it's just locker room talk. >> reporter: but in a statement,

saying these reports suggest that he lied on the debate stage and that the disgusting behavior he bragged about in the tape is more than just words. all this helping fuel the campaign's belief they may be able to expand the election map. clinton aides telling nbc news they believe traditionally red states like utah, arizona, and georgia may be in play. >> we are competing everywhere and the polls are tightening because i think americans to turn out in as big a number as possible to reject the dark and divisive and hateful campaign that is being run by my opponent. >> reporter: but clinton is dealing with her own challenges. wikileaks releasing 1,700 new hacked e-mails wednesday. republicans pointing to one purportedly from a clinton aide writing about conservative catholics, their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals.

authenticated by nbc news. house speaker paul ryan blasting the clinton campaign saying its disdain for the christian faith and evangelicals is disturbing. >> this whole effort is led by the russians. >> reporter: with the fbi saying it believes russia is responsible for prior hacks, clinton campaign chairman john pode hacking his personal e-mails. "this level of meddling by foreign power can only be aimed at boosting donald trump." >> reporter: this morning, one of trump's top advisor, former new york mayor rudy giuliani, is apologizing after saying on wednesday that sector clintoretn falsely claimed she was in new york on september 11, something

apologize." while secretary clinton fund raises today be with top surrogates will be out in force including the president, first lady and vice president. >> kristen welker, thank you. another major story breaking this morning, the u.s. firing missiles at rebel-held sites in yem yemen, retaliation after insurgents targeted u.s. navy ships in that region. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel has the latest. good morning, richard. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, good mo military is getting sucked in to yet another conflict in the middle east. the pentagon announcing that u.s. war ships have launched tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy three radar sites along the coast of yemen in areas that are controlled by rebels. it is important to understand the context here. for about a year, saudi arabia has been at war with rebels in yemen.

states. because of that support, anti-american and netanyaanti-s sentiment have been growing among the rebels. then this weekend, the rebels allegedly launched an attack from their territory targeting u.s. war ships. yesterday it did happen again. there was yet another failed attack on red sea. what we saw early this morning was the u.s. military response. the u.s. saying it will and the any time its sailors are put in harm's way. >> richard engel on the story, thank you. now to two police officers in boston fighting for their lives after a dramatic shoot-out with a man who was wearing body armor. nbc's tammy leitner is in boston for us. tammy, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. we know that two police officers responded to this neighborhood

some sort of assault rifle, who also had on a ballistic vest. >> there was a lot of gunshots. like over 30 gunshots. then we just seen bunch of police come in s.w.a.t. teams, the dogs, everybody. >> reporter: one of the officers has about 28 years on the police force, and the second officer, a 12-year veteran. >> domestic calls are probably the most volatile. you never really know what you're walking into. i think we see right now the dangers of our job. it is a officers, i'm real proud of the work they do day in and day out in this city to keep this city safe. >> reporter: one of those officers went into surgery early this morning. both of them are in extremely critical condition. matt? >> all right, tammy, thank you very much. we've got some new developments now on that fiery plane crash in connecticut. a u.s. official says the crash appears to be a suicide. a student pilot was killed tuesday when the plane went down

>> what about the role of billy bush? some people believe that he egged it on. what's your reaction? >> who knows how he was feeling when he walked off the bus and what he needed to do in the relationship. because when he came off the bus, along with mr. trump, i had no feeling but professional. that's it. >> reporter: bush has been suspended by nbc news and has apologized for his role in the incident. zucker says she hasn't been able to turn on the television the past few days without seeing the video. at the time, trump cameo. >> walker. walker. please, nicole. >> miss walker, i'm a happily married man and if it is a job you're looking for, i have all the apprentices i need. >> donald trump issued an apology for what he described as locker room banter. do you accept his apology? >> that was an interesting apology. >> reporter: the actress says she's looking forward now, hoping to lead by example. >> i want to teach my daughter

but a nice warm-up expected today. we should get into the 70s out ahead of a cold front that's producing a couple of spotty showers from kentucky up through southeastern ohio, up into buffalo, some heavier pockets of rain as well. it is just a front that's going to move in. a lot of the rain fizzles out. keep the umbrella handy if you're in new england or the northeast today. you might run into some of those spotty showers. behind it, temperatures will drop back down into the 60s. even though we'll be in the 70s today be with it is going to be a lot cooler as that front moves everybody. i'm meteorologist bri eggers in for chris lambert this morning. we start off with cloud cover and some patchy drizzle, as you can see in southeastern massachusetts. can't rule out a spot quick shower. a little bit of dampness is hanging around with us until we head in this afternoon. watching this front sweeping through the area to bring us another round of showers as we get into later this afternoon. i think between 4 and 6:00 p.m. then we clear things out and we get to get the sunshine in store

i'm hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. xarelto? significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners,

while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. gary, gary, gary... i am proud of you, my man. making simple, smart cash back choices... with quicksilver from capital one. you're earning unlimited 1.5% cash back

7:41 on a thursday. we're back with "rossen reports." this morning he is talking about a crime that targets women at gas stations. >> "today" national investigative correspondent jeff rossen is here to show us what the thieves are up to. >> these thieves are unscrupulous. they literally steal your stuff from right under your nose. you don't even know you are a victim until it is too late. they'ral they slide into your car quickly and quietly, racing away with your wallet, your bag, anything. i exposed this a few years ago and they went into hiding for a while but now police tell me the sliders are back with all new cases across the country. this morning, you are about to see them in action. >> reporter: you're watching a brazen crime in progress. see this woman pumping gas off to the side? now watch this silver car pull up next to her just like any other customer. as the woman is focusing on the

down, opens her passenger door, slides in and grabs her purse. the entire crime takes only 19 seconds. police call these crooks sliders. >> this is the lowest of the low. before the victim even knows it, they're heading home, looking for their yours purpurse. >> reporter: they pull into a gas station and look for a victim, a woman pumping gas all by herself. this is my producer, lindsey. they pull up alongside and no one would even notice because you are pumping gas at ano pump. they call them sliders, remember. so they slide out and stay beneath the door frame so no one on the other side of the car can see them. here's the pocketbook right here. i grab the bag, close the door, slide back into my own car. no one is any the wiser. and, boom, i have her bag and i'm out of here. how long did that take in just seconds. i'm gone. now watch the same demonstration from lindsey's point of view. she's looking at the pump.

no. look closer. i opened her passenger door. you can barely see it. here, i'll highlight it. see it now? i get her bag, close the door and speed away. did you hear the door open or close when i came in? >> no. i even knew you were coming and i didn't see or her anything. music is playing loud, there's cars around. i'm pumping my gas. didn't see a thing. >> reporter: new cases across the country. just weeks ago in south florida, watch this man snatch the seat. by the time she notices, he's racing away but she chases him down, climbing on his car and hitting him with her wallet. she tumbles off. thankfully, she's okay but he still gets away. and in detroit, another new case. this thief waits until the woman is looking at the pump and strikes right there. best advice is to lock the doors. also rolt windol the windows up.

>> i put a little bit of olive oil. not a lot. the more fat you put on it, the more it is going to just basically cause a bunch of steam and heat. you're just going to basically cook it about five minutes per side. then once you flip it, you start to glaze it. you don't want to glaze it yet. you want to flip it and glaze it. then you just glaze it for another five minutes on the opposite side. look how gorgeous it looks. >> you glaze, then take it right >> there is only one thing we need to do, and that's ask our taste testers downstairs. >> i have to say, pork chops are my absolute favorite. >> can you hear them? >> i miss the bone. >> they didn't give you the bone. i don't know why. because the bone is the best part. sometimes pork chops tend to get a little dry. >> it is kind of fragrant

bite from the balsamic vinegar. >> you guys liked it, right? >> mm. yes. >> next dish is perfect fall dish. farro. >> this is all about mushrooms and leeks. i already browned the mushrooms. put leeks in a pan. farro is a grain kind of like ri rice. with farro. toast that up. add white wine just like making a risotto. you let that cook down for a minute. to kind of cut down time, i like to add the brought, the warm brought, a little bit more than just a cup at a time. that way it doesn't take so long to cook. >> are you calling this a side? >> this can be an entree, yeah. but it can also be a side with the pork chops. in my restaurant this is an entree.

like this. >> any tricks? i know risotto can be kind of tricky in terms of not getting it overcooked. >> this you cannot overcook. that's the great thing about using farro and it is better for you, really, because it has more fiber. parmesan cheese and a little bit of pecorino. one-third cup of each. finish it off with a little bit of butter. frozen peas, because i love peas. >> taste testers, how do you like the farro? >> >> definitely has more of a chew than rit soto. it's very fall. >> it is very fall! feels like so cozy. giada, thank you so much. she's going to stick around and answer our questions on today.com and on our facebook page. up next, barry gibb performing a beegees classic for us. but first, this is "today" on
