hillary clinton took aim at the republican front-runner, donald trump. showing up unannounced to the union protest outside a trump-owne hotel. >> some people think mr. trump is entertaining. i don't think it is entertaining when somebody insults immigrants, insults women. >> reporter: clinton's main priority, avoid mistakes that could dominate the headlines. clinton took part in more than 20 debates in 2008. tonight aides hope that will help her deliver a strong performance. then the ongoing e-mail controversy. while partisan sniping hat under cut the house benghazi committee she'll argue it is personal attack with the e-mails being released three days before the iowa caucuses. and clinton will try to deliver a message to joe biden that despite the controversy she's a salfe bet. finally can clinton connect with voters? david axelrod said clinton's

task is to be real. with clinton facing criticism as a washington insider she'll to argue that as a woman she's the true outsider candidate. lately she's used self-dthrecation, even mocking he bottomic demeanor. >> i was constructed in a garage in palo alto a very long time ago. >> reporter: adviserspeated there is a difference between democrats and republicans than the democrats themselves. er six months hillary clinton has only mentioned bernie sanders's name at mos a handful ofgl times. >> we'll see if she sticks with that strategy. >> hillary clinton's biggest rival tonight is bernie sanders who is surging in the polls but never faced this high profile of an event. andrea mitchell also in las vegas with a look at senator sanders's strategy. good morningle

to yo >> reporter: good morning. bernie sanders is ahead in new hampshire, raking in millions of dollars and attracting bigger crowds than any other mocrat. so far he has avoided personal attacks against hillary clinton. the question is will that change to geight? the fire it is brand democratic socialist is getting used to huge crowds. but this is a whole new stage. the preparation. her super lawyer playing sanders in debates. surging sanders take on the democratic front runner. >> differences of opinion should be discusseem reporter: will sanders get personalle? he said he won't. will call clinton out for veering left, flip-f pping on thise environment, wall street reform and trade. will sanders who raised more than $26 million in small donations in the third quarter

founr being backed by wealthy donors? finally can he show he isn't too far left especially after this comment to chuck todd on "meet the press." e >> pe eople will have to contrast my consistency and willingness to stand up to corporati s and wall street with the secretary. >> i are you a capitalist? >> no. i'm a democratic socialist. >> reporter: sanders inspired millennials to turn out on college campuses around the country. tonight he'll prove his message can resonate with a wider audience. sanders knows tonight is the big moment. he says while he hasn't changed his principles the democratic party is moving closer to him. savannah? >> andrea mitchell in las vegas, thank you. we are joined by nicole wallace, former director for george w. bush. good morning to you. >> good morning. big night. >> big night. ve gas is the setting.

are you expecting a slug guest or do you think it will be sober policy seminar? >> i'm on the other side, but i feel nervous for hillary clinton. she's in the position of being the democratic party's head candidate but not the heart candidate. onnrce again somebody else has capt thured the passion of the democratic party. when it happened eight years ago when barack obama captured their imagination and passion you felt bad. if she makes the mistake again of not capturing the passion she only has herself to ame. >> what can you to in a setting li yoke that? >> you know, i think reparing a candidate like hillary clinton is completely different from preparing somebody who hasn't done this before. as you said, she did it in 2008. she knows the policy backward and forward. you have to get heruiut of her

character from snl last weekend. you have to get her comfortable but she has to avoid a fwaf like the kinds she made on the book tour when she said she was flat broke when she left the white house and said she hasn't driven herself in 20 years. that's not where the democratic party is. they are more angry than the republican primary voters about a system they view as rigged and corrupt, a system thatle hillary clinton has been in the center of for 2 years. >> bernie sanders exploiting that feeling. let's talk about the elephant in the room -- joe biden. do you assume he 's watching and this is part of his determining calculation whether to get in -- how she does in the debate? >> you know him and you have inatterviewed enough politicians to know anyone who runs for of ce watches debate it is same way. they feel the jabs, think i

whether he gets in or not he'll have choice words tonight at the performance of all of them. at the end of the day i believe he's going through an excruciating process of balancing his grief with his desire to continue to serve the country he loves. there is no doubt he has an opening. >> he's up against the political calendar. we'll see what he decides. good to talk to you, nicole wallace. thank you. >> thanks, savannah. >> a tragic fire in kansas city overnight took the lives of at least two firefighters. natalie? >> such a sad story. a massive fire burned through the night. still smoldering. the firefighters were clearing an area with a partly collapsed e roof when the structure came down on top of them. this morning officials in kansas city, missouri, are investigating a two alarm fire at an apartment building that killed two firefighters and injured two others overnight. fire crews dispatched around 7:30 p.m. found the structure damaged by smoke and flames.

that's the lead character. so of course, what actress wouldn't? i wanted the darker one. >> were you the little girl who loved these movies or did they get to you and give you nightmares? >> i loved it. when i was in high school, i had gothic friends and, oh, my god, we loved "interview with a vampire" with tom cruise and brad pitt and the costumes. it was fun. >> do you believe in ghosts? >> yeah. >> like in the floating figure ghosts or just kind of misplaced spirits? >> it's more fun to believe in ghosts than not to. yes, i believe in ghosts. sometimes the lights turn off and on if i'm in london or something. i always say, hey, okay, great. you're here. i recognize you. i'm super tired. please let me sleep. >> you have had experiences that you relate to ghosts? >> yeah. who knows? it could be an electrical -- >> a short circuit. >> it's more fun to think someone's trying to communicate. >> i had a house where a chair would move -- a rocking chair.

>> how long did you stay there? >> long time. a few years. i was reading about you last night as we often do when someone like you is coming. first of all, you have a reputation. do you know what it is? >> sounds terrible. >> i mean it in a good way. do you know what it is? >> what? >> you don't just take a role. you dive into roles. >> yeah . >> how do you plead? >> absolutely true. to the sadness of my family and friend s. >> is it just the way you learn? >> you know, when you are playing a character you have to defend them and understand them. it's fun ch playing a character like celia foote from "the help" because you're love and light. playing lucille you have to defend dark actions. that can get tough. >> the other thing i read and i don't know if this is a statement that gets taken out of context but you have a hidden desire to play the villain in a bond movie. >> yeah. it started out at the beginning in 2011 with people saying wouldn't you like to be a bond girl?

wouldn't that be fun? yeah, that would be fun but i would rather play a villain. then you are someone to contend with. and how much fun would it be to kick bond's ass once in a while? >> fun, i guess. he's not happy playing bond, mr. craig. >> really? >> he made disparaging comments but that's for another interview we'll probably never do. this is "crimson peak," lady lucille. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> thank you very much. this movie is from our sister company universal. it opens friday. if you like to be extra spooked it will be available in imax as well. up next, martha stewart getting souped up. first on a tuesday morning this

cooking with martha is brought to you by macy's. >> we are back.

this morning on our super supper series we have the one and only martha stewart here to make us a mushroom soup featured in martha stewart "living." good morning. >> good morning. >> do you love soup season? >> it's a wonderful time of year. so healthy and good for you. >> absolutely. >> this is an especially delicious soup made with farrow which is the oldest grain, oldest wheat grain known to us. it's high in protein. >> great for energy. overnight is best. three quarters of a cup of farrow soaked in cool water overnight. >> okay. >> i could do it over here. we'll make it with lots of different mushrooms. >> what do you like? >> these are porcini, dried have

a tremendous amount of good flavor. >> okay. >> we have other mushrooms, too. >> i see you soaking them. >> they're dried and you have to make sure they absorb a lot of liquid to get tender. chop them up like this. >> okay. >> first in this pot add your chicken stock. three and a half cups. and now your farrow, strained. >> all right. >> that's the overnight soak for narrow. >> right. now it's ready to cook. >> all right. >> add that to the chicken stock. >> okay. >> let that cook for approximately 45 minutes. >> all right. >> we have onions. >> these grains, by the way, the old-fashioned, unusual, antique versions of grains come from places that are artisanal these came from phoenix. the zimmerman family revitalized all the old grains.

they are healthy for you. >> they are having a resurgence. let's check in with the tasting table. >> martha, this is really good. >> fantastic. >> could you use fresh mushrooms instead of dry? >> here's a fresh one. this is hen of the woods. have you used that crazy mushroom? chantarelle are delicious. oyster mushrooms and these odd ones. these are royal trumpet mushrooms. >> wow. >> chop them up like this. you need about one and a quarter pounds. stir them with a half a stick of butter, three garlic gloves and one white or yellow onion. add the soaked porcini to those. saute until they look like this. beautiful. >> i would eat that. >> that's great over pasta. you would like that. >> the last step is what? >> this is the farrow. it's now tender. see how it gets swollen and

splits up. add your mushrooms. >> the smell is amazing. >> unbelievable, right? >> i want a room fragrance like that. >> if you like -- oh, i turned it up to 20. turn it down to zero. >> got it. >> thank you. in your pan you can add a little bit of tried sherry just to add a tiny bit of flavor. do you taste the sherry? >> not really. >> quarter of a cup. just brings out the flavors. >> they just said, send more sherry. >> a little bit of vinegar to brighten the flavor. >> served with a beautiful crusty bread. >> that's it. want a taste? >> of course. if you want this recipe and more delicious dinner ideas go to today.com. >> salt and pepper. >> the company is rushing to make the holiday candle, wild mushroom. >> you know what? it will be a best seller, matt. >> amazing. >> we have wonderful recipes

using all the antique grains. they are really delicious and healthy and nutritious. >> i love antique grains. martha, you're the best. up next, the rock center rink is open.
