he called the iiest place on the planet. >> the battle to take back mosul began, overnight, iraqi forces pushing within a few miles of the city. this morning, richard engel is on the front line. >> chi prac tick mis -- kie prac tick mystery. showing a after a common procedure. and what left the peanuts game crying good grief today. friday, october 21st, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a on rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everybody.

this morning. can you imagine being where cardinal dolan was sitting with the rivalry, that would take all the serious and diplomatic skills. >> if anybody can do that, it was cardinal dolan. when you hear the two of them speak, it wasn't exactly funny at all times. >> dinner tops our state of the race with just 18 days to go, filling into that high profile charity dinner with harsh jokes and jabs from both trump and clinton. >> a new poll shows the race is now a dead heat in ohio, clinton and trump tied at 45%, trump led by three points one month ago. >> clinton will be in ohio for the first debate while her husband stumps for her in

>> hi, peter. good morning. >> hey, good morning to you. can you say awkward? this is a night billed as place candidates put partisan politics aside. like everything else this campaign season, this year's dinner was one-of-a-kind. true to their form on the trail, hillary clinton a bit more polished, donald trump more unconventional. fresh off ir surreal scene, donald trump sometimes less light-handed. >> hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the water gait commission. here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate catholics. >> trump stunningly booed by the crowd, a first at the dinner, a catholic charity gala traditionally celebrated as a

one liners. >> it's amazing i'm up here after donald. i didn't think he'd be okay with a peaceful transition of power. it is great also to see mayor bloomberg here. it's a shame he's not speaking tonight. i'm curious to hear what a billionaire has to say. >> despite their smiles, their dislike for each other unmistakable, trump and clinton separated this time not by a dolan. clinton's joks self-deprecating. >> i took a break from my rigorous nap schedule to be here. >> others, biting. >> donald looks at the statute of liberty and sees a 4. maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair. >> trump's best moment, roasting his wife.

and everyone loves it. my wife, melania, gives the exact same speech and people get on her case. >> the night, a rare break from the heat of the campaign trail where trump, thursday, defiantly doubled down on his shocking remarks about next month's election. >> i will totally accept the results of this great and historic preside if i win. >> trump's unprecedented position create agnew political headache from vulnerable congressional republicans. pat toomey calling it irresponsible. kelly ayotte again trying to distance herself. >> i don't believe there's a rigged election system. clinton's top surrogate, michelle obama in arizona. >> he is threatening the very idea of america itself.

too. >> when you try to sew the seeds of doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of our election, that undermines our democracy. >> back on the day as candidates turning partisan politics into punchlines. >> this is the first time ever ever that hillary is sitting down and speaking to major corporate leaders and not getting paid for it. >> every year, this dinner sensible committed mainstream republicans, or as we now like to call them, hillary supporters. >> ultimately, donald trump did clarify his comments thursday about the election results saying he'll accept the results if they're fair while resering to right to contest questionable results. it was icy at times.

was a sign of civility, the candidates shook hands, something they didn't do in either of the last two debates. back to you. >> thaw. steve and nicole with us. they shook hands first. we can be impressed even a charity dinner to benefit catholic charities, i don't want to make too much of it but it is interesting to see it. t lost used this dinner in a very different way and used it to restore their personal credibility. coloneldy isn't easy, it's simple. comedy isn't easy but simple. i asked one advisor, why did he bomb so badly. he said, there's not a lot of funny people at trump tower. >> they are two people not extremely likable according to the polls.

likability is there and trump is even more disliked than hillary. to strike a balance between being humorous and taking shots at the other side, it had a mean edge to it and trump got booed. >> it got booed where you consider his crowd. >> his delivery, his her punchlines read a different way might not have sounded quite as mean, both of them didn't have the spirit the event traditionally had. >> seems like the crowd was not with either one of them. let's move on to yesterday's big news, this notion he was walking back his statement at the debate he would hold the world in suspense whether he would accept the results at the election. then he said at a rally yesterday, i'll accept them if i

there. as cleanups go, did he get it done? >> we talked about it that night, you and i, all of us talked about it. it was a lights out moment in american politics to say, i am not going to accept the results of an election. >> did he fix it? >> no. he did not go far enough to fix it because the audience of that debate was so much bigger than any who had heard his cleanup. ev like a child that smashes all the china and comes back with a teacup. >> i wonder if he was joing when he said, i'll accept the results if i win and then wondering maybe not. >> i call it trolling. he was trolling his critic, trolling the media, trolling everybody who got on his case with it and was playing to the crowd in that room. he knew phraing it that way and putting that punchline at the end, they would love it,

decide how you will lose. if you can read a poll and he can read a poll and john mcclain, the campaign i worked on knew how and he's going down in a ball of flames. we will talk about a private conversation he had with them u.s. and iraqi forces are one day within striking distance one day after the first american was killed since the offensive was launched. richard engel, good to see you. >> reporter: good morning. the pentagon announced an american soldier was killed in iraq, one of the soldiersle involved in assisting to drive isis out of not just the city of

one of the front line positions and we've been watching them advance. so far the advance is moving more quickly than anticipated. >> isis today hit back with a sneak attack on a government complex in the city of kirkuk where they exchanged fire with security forces. isis may be trying to slow down the assault on mosul. it doesn't seem to be working. iraqi troops said today they pushed within just 4 miles of the iraq. the biggest town was on the mosul doorstep. to reach the front there, we climbed into an iraqi special forces old american humvee, shot up and nearly blown up, the driver say, by isis bombs. iraqi troops brought in their haven't weapons, isis fought basic with suicide bombers. but all this was mute to the

we'll win, god willing, we will be in mosul in days. isis does seem to be retreating from some of its position. the soldiers showed us a bunker complex they just discovered. >> be careful where you step. there is a concern it could be booby-trapped. >> reporter: dozens of fighters could have stayed down there and the corridor stretched a half a heil. we came to an isis headquarters, food still in the kitchen area, half made bombs and chemicals for more. on the wall what has become the most infamous symbols anywhere, the isis logo. more often than not american standing in front of this were likely beheaded. it was their turn to have isis on the run. reaching isis stronghold may not

part. the u.n. warned isis has been gathering more than 600 families from the mosul area, civilians and is using them as human shields. the american who died in support of this operation has yet to be identified by the pentagon. >> richard engel in iraq, take care of yourselves. >> thank you. a contractor charged with taking a huge volume of secret more about the case against him. pete williams has the latest on that. good morning. >> good morning. the government calls it an astonishing amount of highly classified information. more than a month since the arrest, the fbi says agents are still going through it to figure out what's there a process that may take five more months. inside this suburban baltimore house, federal prosecutors say they found a staggering amount

contract employee of the national security agency with stealing it all over the past two decades. a conservative estimate the government says is the amount of digital information equal to 500 million pages of texts and images which would make it easily the largest theft of secrets ever a dwarfing edward sen against a known enemy of the united states and some of the classified documents were lying openly in martin's house and back seat and trunk of his car which he parked in the driveway. the government wants him held in jail pending trial saying if he's released he could be a target for a foreign government because he knows so much and say he had access to guns and once told his wife he might end his life if he thought it was quote all over. in a letter to the judge his

he intended to betray his country and no grounds for denying him bail. so far all martin is charged with is stealing the information and taking it home. they still don't know if he passed any of it along to any else. >> pete williams in our newsroom. thank you. the u.s. is confirming another death due to an airbag made by takata. it was a woman in civic, the 11th known by the airbags that can inflate with too much force caution their metal interior to rupture and shoot shrapnel into the vehicle. they called off the largest recall in history. a state trooper saved a bald eagle. the trooper gets out of his

patrol car. the eagle stayed perfectly still in the back seat. then the trooper drove it to a bird sanctuary and amazingly we're told there are no broken bones and experts do believe it will likely fly free again. >> i love that. >> play the national anthem. right? we need this story. >> that's why it's the national bird, it stayed still in the back of the car. >> serene and majestic. >> followed the rules. >> we areo for parts of pennsylvania. take a look at clinton county, pennsylvania yesterday, in north central pennsylvania. the rain coming down very very hard. picked up 4-6 inches of rain in a short time. the lights and power went out in that area and gusty winds. we still have flashflood warnings in effect as this heavy rain is over this same area and comes down so hard and fast the

near 60s and sunday to follow. >> back to the "today" show

7:30, it's friday morning, 21st of october, 2016. i guess we will have a rainy day in the northeast. our plaza friends are in an awesome mood this morning. inside the studio, we h 7:30, normally you would be wrapping up "nightly news" after half hour. >> yeah, let's call it a day! >> no, we have more to get to. let's start this half hour with the headlines, the chicago cubs now one win away from their first world series trip in 71 years. they beat dodgers last night and take a 3-2 lead in the championship series game and the

donald saying again he may not honor he results and he reserves the right to challenge the outcome if there is a questionable result. >> donald and hillary shared the same stage last night. and they used humor to take shots at each other. but some of the jokes drew years and boos. >> hillary is so got kicked off the water gait commission. >> both candidates got a boo from time-to-time. the candidates, though, did end the night by shaking hands. that's something we did not see at the by the way. as we mentioned earlier, timothy dolan, the cardinal was right between trump and clinton. let's see how the describes that. >> pardon my congestion and cough. i'm afraid i'm coming down with

understandable given the fact for the last two hours i had a seat between our two candidates in what's probably the iiest place on the planet. where is global warming when you need it. >> a good line. >> cardinal dolan joined us earlier this morning. we began by asking if he had fun last night. >> thanks for that interpretation. >> we were watching and there were some boos. you, i was nervous going into it. you know the nature of the dinner, to be an evening of friendship and joy and to be the host of it for the archdiocese, it's like a family dinner and hoing everything goes well and generally everything went well. there were awkward moments. as you guys know, you're pros, when ever you get humor, there

anticipation, is this going to work or not? has this gone over the line? is this bringing people together? i tell you what wasn't awkward even though we teased about it was being very close to the two of them. i was very moved on the obvious behalf of both secretary clinton and mr. trump to be courteous and get along and say nice things privately to one another. i was very moved by that. that was pleasant because i was there with them not only on the day day -- dias, but beforehand. >> there were some boos on the stage. >> the audience is a good indicator, they have sensitivity, if something is funny and if something is a bomb and if something is a little out of line. there were boos last night and the audience more-or-less actively, i think, reflects the sentiments going on.

i'm encouraged to hear there was some friendliness among them? did you try to engage a group conversation? >> let's say i'd rather be sitting between the two of you. >> i did. you can tell the two of them are awkward together. that's not new. four years ago with president obama and mitt romney, there was a little iciness. and the purpose is to break some ice. praise be to god it works. the al smith dinner by i'm sitting between the two and literally i'm supposed to be a bridge to bring these two together. i tried my best. there were very touching moments. when we were going in, i said, could we pray together as we were waiting to be announced. after the little prayer, mr. trump turned to secretary clinton and said, you know, you are one tough and talented woman. and he said, this has been a good experience, this whole campaign as tough as it's been

whatever happens, we need to work together afterwards. i thought, this is the evening at its best. >> anybody watching the audience or coverage this confirms these people really don't like each other. some things weren't funny and cutting right to the heart. >> you've got something, lester. i would find that amity i just described maybe wasn't as present during both addresses. somebody afterwards, a professional entertainer said, this is the nature of today in that it is very tough for people to be self-deprecating. if you look at the history of the al smith dinner, you have a guy like john kennedy or fellow like ronald reagan, they bring the house down, they are the butt of their own jokes. last night the two candidates, the butt of their own jokes was the other person. the character is self-deprecating humble humor. that seems to be a tougher and

obvious for all of us last night. >> it sounds like you had quite a private moment with both of them. we'd love to see that spill into the public with all american people. >> a great example. >> always good to be with you. >> appreciate it. >> very soon, i hope. our conversation with cardinal dillon -- dolan earlier. it will berm southern half of the country. a little cooler than average across the northern plains and upper midwest. where it's colder, looking for a wetter than average season and that could mean more snowstorms and where it's warmer, drier than average winter. this could be a good thing through parts of the gulf and texas and ice storms right in the middle is where it will be right about average what you

and everyone loves it. it's fantastic. they think she's absolutely great. my wife, melania, gives the exact same speech and people get on her case! >> reporter: but things quickly took a chilly turn. >> hillary is so corrupt she got kicked off the water commission. the watergate commission. here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate catholics. >> clinton, who sat stone-faced as the audience booed, taking the podium moments later. >> this is such a special event, that i took a break from my rigorous nap schedule to be here. >> reporter: her speech also biing as she swiped trump who prior to running for office was known for raing women on a

comfortable coming to school i think it can be celebrated outside the school. >> reporter: celebration will still be celebrated at the school, the theme, fall. some parents concerned about canceling it. >> i think it's a shame canceling it about not being diversified and learning about each other's cultures. these two pickedut costumes. >> i liked marching around and had a really cool costume this year. >> "abc news" reached to the school district for comment and they did not provide a comment other than that one. another school last year tried to ban it and it was overturned. this school going farther than most and a lot of schools saying no clown costumes because of the news stories. >> thanks.
